It can be profitable if you find buyers and sellers at the same time, it depends how do you think to start your exchange service, selling and buying locally or how, some people don't care too much about small difference on fees, they only want to buy in cash and avoiding online ID verification.

Definitely...if you time it right. People on localbitcoins routinely sell their BTC for 10% above the market price or more. People are willing to pay that much since they don't have to upload their license to Coinbase or another site and can buy BTC straight from you.

I think yes, it's still profitable but you need increase your trust on this forum. So, it's make people here trust you and use your service and you also can do the exchange on your local too.

If there is a lot of people is using your exchange you will get profitable, but it's too difficult for start exchange service for now because it needs more funds and you need having a good trust to make everyone interested in using your service.

That is very true. I am trying to buy Bitcoins off localbitcoins and everyone is selling for such high prices. Your service is coming at a good time if you decide to start it. A lot of people are buying and some people are selling.

Bitcoin Currency Exchange is set to be profitable but you need to meet certain criteria. 1. You must make your exchange popular to get lots of users. 2. Make sure your security is at it's best, to avoid hacking and making you lost all your users fund deposited in your site. 3. Have a marketing strategy and apply the reward system. In short make your client Happy! 4. Make sure your profit exceeds your site maintenance well doing those first 3 will make sure this will always happen ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Definitely. However, how are you going to get customers with those rates is a big problem. Customers probably won't pay that much of a premium when they can buy it elsewhere way cheaper. But yeah, good luck ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

It could be profitable if you are located in an area where people are interested into using Bitcoin and there aren't many services selling Bitcoins around like Localbitcoins traders or ATM machines. Actually some people aren't comfortable buying Bitcoins online on the exchanges so if you offer them over the counter purchase with no ID for low fees I think you will have a lot of customers. But this business depends on the local demand for such a service. You would know best what the situation is where you live.

You definitely could make profit, but you would have to find buyers and maybe even sellers that might want to sell to you for good prices. It really all depends on how much of your time you are willing to spend.

But this business depends on the local demand for such a service. You would know best what the situation is where you live. It can be profitable even if you don't live in such area where Bitcoin is popular, remember you are doing this online, pretty much your service can cover almost the whole world where internet is accesible. You just need to promote, and market your stuff. And make sure you are affiliated with local remittances and banks for fund transfers.

why not do it on localbitcoins as another one of the exchangers that are active there? anyways, as long as you are legit and can gather some trust over time you can be successful. you can also do some things in order to stand out. for example accepting some payment processors that people have money in and want to buy bitcoin with that eg. okpay or other ideas that you may have to make yourself unique and better than others.

It really depends how much you can get in terms of customers, and how much you can make a profit on each trade. If you can only make like 1% off each trade then obviously it's not that profitable. Still, if you're dealing with large numbers, 1% of 20 BTC isn't that bad.
