Like many I hold some BTC and day trade when I have any free time. The issue I have found is actually getting money in and out?
If I make say $30 worth of BTC in one day and want to convert and get the money in a safe way I may be looking at receiving only $15 after fees to convert and withdrawal costs. There must be a better way?
Of course , cash every 30 days:).
True - I just don't feel confident leaving any amount of money worth having in the guard of the exchanges......
So you have "some" BTC there but you don't trust the exchange to hold an additional 500-1000 usd.
Isn't that funny?
Funny? I wouldn't say so. I hold about 0.15 BTC in an exchange and switch between LTC making on average 5% a time, a few times would give $30, again on average. If I loose $150, well never mind. $500 + starts to hurt especially when you've done a lot of trading to earn it.
