It's very, very expensive to maintain  a financial license. You need a lot of money monthly for salaries,accountant, due diligence shit, taxes, compliance, rent, lobby expenses, advertising and many, many other things.
It's a legit business and the legit businesses in the financial field are costing A LOT

Coinbase is doing the same. They have licences in almost all USA...much more expensive than Gemini. . IMO, they will go bankrupt if nobody will pump money in them(no stupids to "invest" in a black hole from where they will never see any money back).

The exchangers who have financial license cannot survive from exchanges. The fees are too low to cover everything. I don't say about any profit because it doesn't exist.

I think Coinbase is burning at least 200K-300K per month only to keep the business as it is. Gemini a little bit lower.

It's so funny. I am looking to Coindesk.com and other similar websites.They are promoting the financial licenses and the regulation even these things mean the end of Bitcoin as it is.

BTC with financial licensed exchangers will not exist anymore because it was not made for such things.
Regulation means the exchangers will be forced to ask you a lot of papers(as the banks do).

Then, why would someone still use BTC when you can trade/speculate gold/FX in the same conditions and with giant brokers and not with Bitstamp shit, Coinbase shit or Gemini crap?!

More than that, you have the peace of the mind that nobody will steal your "commodity" as it can happen with Bitcoin

Hehe, NEW project but it's full of errors. It does not matter that it's new. It's a crap. Also, it costs 1 mil USD according to their website

1 million and they come with this shit?!?!?!? pffff. Something is wrong with these people and of course with the stupids investors.  

You can hire IBM or any other giant software company with these money and they can create the software you may need not a crap which can be easily call  ; Open shit ERRORs bazaar

VISA can be chargeback which is VERY GOOD because the frauds are so common these days.

BTC is a niche market and the people who are using it MUST admit it. BTC cannot replace anything. It's just an e-currency like e-gold.com was.

The debit/credit cards can be used anywhere, it takes seconds to make a purchase and you are "safe" in the way that you can make chargeback if you are scamed or if someone is stealing the money from card.

Now, try to make a charge back when you are using BTC  The common people needs safe not shit libertarians motto. BTC is very hard to understand by the common Joe and Joe is 99.999%  
BTC market = over 80% black market and that means once a shit like SilkRoad was closed, the BTC value droped a lot. The rest of the market is for speculator and maybe 1% belongs to so called "normal" users.

I really don't see why someone would use BTC for anything except speculation, buying weed or things like that.
 You lose money to fund your BTC account, you lose money when you want to withdrawn. Guess what?! I cannot pay my bills with Bitcoin or I cannot buy an icecream with it too. I need cash or card.

If you run a real eCommerce website and a customer wants to charge back, you can dispute the charge back IF you have proofs that you contacted the client, you identified it and he really made the purchase. It's your duty to make due diligence. Stay calm, nobody will make any charge back if you are an honest business man and you ship/deliver the items AND IF you have a good customer service. Of course, there is a little risk but that's why it's called business. Do you want a business with risk free?  Get real  

What if your BTC is stolen overnight? Don't say that you have it in a cold wallet, bla bla because many others said the same and millions were stolen

So, make money/cash now by using BTC and that's it. BTC will end(will not be used, the value will go to zero) as any other e-currency ended in the past.

not full but there are offers.

the chinesse miners will turn off their biz with Bitcoin once their profit will be much lower. They already earned a lot of money. I would do the same; no need for complications, for bargains with hardware manufactures. it's only business; no hard feelings

who cares about shit Bitcoin or any other e-currency? everybody cares about its pockets and it's something normal. each e-currency is a  "tool" to make real cash(money). it was the same with e-gold or liberty reserve

in the mean time, OpenBazaar is opened and it's acting like SilkRoad. 

do you buy drugs online?

it's a crap who will end like a crap 

you will not get any money back if you are whining on forums. it's your fault that you didn't make due dilligence before making the purchase.

take it as a lesson and move your ass forward.

don't buy with Bitcoin if you cannot chargeback 
this is a jungle and it seems the ones who are using BTC want that. Do not complain! You want a world without rules.

make a chargeback ! 

nobody will use Bitcoin in 10 years. stay calm.

other innovative payment system will come till then. maybe you will be able to pay by using your fingerprint, or eye or...i don't know what device. BTC is a niche market and it will remain like that.

BTC is an e-currency which is now trendy like e-gold or libertyreverse were in the past.

the exchanger's robots are the ones who are manipulating the price. just like MTgox did it.

same "Willy bot" 

that means all the big exchangers(5-6) should have the same demand because their prices are almost the same which is IMPOSSIBLE !

it's an unregulated market, remember? so, one exchanger may have 100 orders for buy and none for sell and other 1000 for sell and 10 for buy.

don't you want the same?   Yes, you do.

you may add ALL the unlicensed exchangers like Bitstamp, BTC china, Okcoin, Bitfinex, Btc-e and many others who are doing illegal financial transactions. aren't they Shit Bitcoiners? Yes, they are.

who cares about these persons while 90% from the BTC is used for illegal transactions(black market)?

here, the hypocrisy is in its house

this is what happens when you use UNLICENSED financial exchanger

you will see that when one of the biggest exchangers will fall. most of them has a PO BOX and are unlicensed.

YES, yes, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, BTC-e, BTC China and so on, are ALL simple companies.

Do not whine while you are using them.

so, there is a cartel of exchangers, right? otherwise, the price cannot be ALMOST the same ( few dollars difference)

who cares about chinesse miners who already earned MANY millions? anyway, everybody wants cash. nobody cares anybody.

make cash now and don't care what it will be in August

I will add "Gleb Gamow" because you are using unlicensed exchangers.

None of those from your list, was a financial licensed exchanger. So, those who used them, knew that there are risk. I don't care about them so your list is useless.

Use a financial licensed exchanger and you will have NO problems. Stop complaining about illegal exchangers while you encourage them by using their services.
