I'm sure there is a better spot for this question, but this is really the only thread (because it's the best) that I follow.
Can anyone recommend better exchange options for someone based in the U.S. than Coinbase as it relates to fees?
They are charging $200 to buy and $200 to sell a full BTC right now. Is that normal? 4% vigorish seems awful high.
log in to coinbase, navigate to GDAX in the same browser, click "login" and bang. there is a small taker fee for market orders, but if you restrict yourself to limit orders there are no fees whatever, and transfers to and from coinbase are instant and free, pretty impressive really |

$5k psychological resistance is demolished like a cheap rice paper house in a firestorm .... now new upside targets?
I'm recalling $6800-$7200 region was important for some reason back when the climb began, doublings from $300 and all that stuff.
$9588 is masterluc's original 'top' call before he started throwing out numbers like $19k and $90k more recently (but unsure if they are for the next bull run or this one or THE final run).
$10,000 obviously will be an attractor because ... humans ... numbers with lots of zeros and zeros on the right hand side hold special fascination for humans, maybe because zeros look like boobies, who really knows?
Whatever the number I'm picking it will be achieved in a short time frame ... train is in off the rails territory now.
I have set to see a convincing argument for what shape the fabled S-curve adoption will finally take, my best guess at the moment is a sequence of insane rapid vertical moves and violent pullbacks making up a kind of steep-stairway-to-heaven formation up the vertical part of the S-curve, with not much time between climbs and only short correction phases ... but who the hell knows how it plays out from here, its up to the psychology of the monied masses and infowars that are being waged upon them by their ever more nervous handlers. Hi Jamie you criminal bastard, btc is going to rip you a free one.

I have mixed feelings about the rise. I locked in my retirement at a lower price. So now I'm not "as rich" as I could be. Best to stop thinking about the "what ifs" and just be happy. Strange feeling though.
Wow, I think I missed reading when you "locked your retirement" already. I remember you had plans about doing it soon, but not that you did it. Anyway, I am sure you still have some sizeable BTC stash and, having already locked enough out of it to secure your retirement, you can keep enjoying the benefit of whatever price BTC reaches in the long term without feeling the pressure of having to "lock profits" anymore. We all have those remorses about how we could have bought way more at different moments in the past... but things are just how they are, and we should be thankful for our "luck". Also, very few had the balls you had to sell a house and put it all on Bitcoin as you did. I guess, from most people here, you are of the ones that less remorses should have about their action regarding his Bitcoin investment. |

I really feel bad for some of the later comers to BTC (e.g. South Korean and Japanese from the legalization as payment this year).
BTC is now at $5,700.00 on Bithumb!! Previously they believed Roger Ver's hype and led the way up in BCH volume and price. BTC hardly had any volume there, it serves more as a reference price, since ALT are quoted in BTC. Occasionally they pump Ripple and ETH. But now in the past few days, volume is mostly in BTC. There is real FOMO as they realize that they had the wrong crypto all along.
Am I right in thinking Japan also took the brunt of the Goxxing? Or was that just an accident of geography? |

The legalization and opening of numerous exchanges really make it mainstream and put "Mrs. Watanabe" into the market. But South Korean are really the most aggressive one when it comes to trading, at least in terms of volume and leading the charge higher in various cryptos. |

I finally got up the gumption to jump through the hoops and...there weren't any... It's a hobby for me so, yeah, with smaller amounts their fees just kill my profits. This is good news for hobby traders like me. I'm holding some there in the Vault for the next 3 airdrops. Let them figure out all the new wallets. |
