BTC to USD trading at Bitfinex as EU-citizen

[Appie34]

I am totally done with Kraken, but there are not so many EUR exchanges with many alts.
Is it possible to send BTC to Bitfinex, sell for US dollar and then buy/sell coins with USD?

I don't want to trade with BTC- ALT's since it is a bit more complicated...

Bitfinex has no access to banking so there is no USD, only imaginary dollars, aka USDT (tether)

Follow @bitfinexed on twitter for all the gory details.

Get used to trading alts in BTC, it’s worth it. bittrex is good for this.
