"never invest more than you're willing to loose" that's true for penny stocks, futures... and even more true for unregulated crypto currencies

6  Economy / Service Discussion / why did tradehill really die ? would a new US exchange thrive ? on: February 06, 2014, 09:50:59 PM
Being confused why there no US based exchange at the moment, I did a little bit of history.

I read that tradehill was a US exchange that closed because of "regulations" and other issues ?!
I think coinbase would be much more legally liable than an active exchange since they are selling their own coins and not just facilitating exchanges...
Will another US based exchange thrive ? or are people too afraid of government regulations to invest in creating a USD<>BTC exchange ?

10  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how does a bitcoin exchange works ? ex coinbase on: January 09, 2014, 06:27:51 PM
ok thanks for the reply,
but at the beginning of coinbase for example,
how did they gather enough buyers and sellers to make the transactions ?
is that what the 4 days delay was for (besides the ACH approval)  ?

what happens if
one guy is selling btc4.235 at $840 and another guy is selling btc6.135 at $735
while a buyer i buying btc2.435 at $751 and another buyer is buying btc7.139 at $813
since the price is so volatile almost all transaction will be made at different prices, how is it possible to match up buyers and sellers ?
11  Economy / Trading Discussion / how does a bitcoin exchange works ? ex coinbase on: January 09, 2014, 12:01:02 PM
I've been trying to figure out how bitcoin exchange services work. Specifically the ones that allow you to exchange btc for fiat money and viceversa.

for example

If I try to buy 2 bitcoin:
1-are they going to give me a coin that they already have ? or
2-are they going to give me a coin that a seller is trying to sell ?

if they give me a coin they already have, how do they now they'll always have enough to supply all the buyers ?
if they give me a coin that a seller is trying to sell, how to they know that they will always have enough volume to satisfy all the transactions ?

finally is this entire thing managed by some type of database, oracle? sql ?

thanks !

so how can they allow instant exchange by linking a credit card ?
13  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how does the USB><Bitcoin exchange works ?! on: December 18, 2013, 11:38:41 AM
I was inquiring more about the technical aspect of the exchange.
where do they get the coin to trade for your USD ?
thanks
14  Other / Beginners & Help / how does the USD><Bitcoin exchange works ?! on: December 18, 2013, 10:18:42 AM
Hi, I was wondering how coinbase can take your USD and change it to bitcoins ?
did they somehow gather a lot of coins to start with and then allows people to buy and sell coins from their wallet ?
do they have a direct connection to other bitcoin trading website so they can tap into their reserve as well ?
how does this whole USD>Bitcoin exchange works ?
thanks for your insight !
