Thank you, how do they calculate what the Ask price is when purchasing? Is that the lowest amount that coin has sold for recently?

You could have just googled it and the answer would have been right there in front of you. The ask price is what called as buying price and the bid is the selling price. If you place an order in the ask price then you are placing a buy order and you have to wait until someone sells you at the buy price. If you click on bid then you will be buying coins at selling price which means you will get the coins immediately at selling price.

Thanks for your reply, Apart from your first sentence, I found this response very helpful. Grin

Hello Guys,

Im using the Bitconnect platform to purchase BCC (Bitconnect Coin) and im currently looking at the Ask and Bid prices and need choose one.

Ask is currenty: 0.03871509 btc

Bid is currently: 0.03871747 btc

Can someone please give me a simple explaination of the Ask, Bid prices?

As im purchasing I guess im looking to purchase at the Ask price as this is cheaper - why would I ever need to select the Bid price as this is more expensive?

Thanks in advance

Can anyone recommend a reputable exchange for someone based in the UK?

I have used Coinbase and although their platform is slick and simple, making a withdrawal of funds to my UK account is virtually impossible and their support might as well be non existent.

Id like to be able to make simple purchases of Bitcoin and potentially other Crypto in GBP.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your responses guys. I Raised a support ticket with Wirex and they mailed me back within an hour to say the issue had been solved and the money was now in my account. I wasn't quite sure where the problem was.

Hello, I tried to sent 2 amounts of BTC from my Coinbase wallet to my Wirex wallet over the weekend.

I sent one payment on Saturday and one payment on Sunday - the Sunday one has cleared but the Saturday one hasn't

But for some reason its been over 48 hours and only 1 of 2 amounts I sent have cleared into my Wirex wallet even though they are both showing as Completed on my Coinbase account.

This is the transaction on Blockchain.info for the problem transaction:

https://blockchain.info/tx/be9e8d3e03565ca7f5b3327906f1ef46e4883346983bb88f1c67c1cd08ebd102

Does anyone have any advice for me please? Thanks in advance for your help. I dont fully understand the information being displayed to me on the blockchain.info page above.
