Alternatives to Coinbase?

From what country you from?

The features you want are always present (as it should be) on a crypto local exchanges.

Try to search for it's available on your country. Or else I will say you must stick with Coinbase and deal with the fees especially your concern about no.1. The instant transfer from bank is one of a good advantages.

And by the way, how much fees we are talking here?

Although, there are MANY alternatives you could call for Coinbase, but top ones start from Binance and others. There are MANY Crypto Exchanges out there, so you can pick one that suits you and one that makes you comfortable.

I don’t really feel that there is any rocket science to it, but all more to do with common sense only. So, our selection should be made in very careful way, which will also keep us safe and secure with everything.

We're building this out by country where to buy (and sell) bitcoin anywhere.

It's split between the "bank connected" exchanges, Anonymous Options available per country and any other sources like ATM's or meetups even. Low fee bitcoin ATM's are rather rare, some places seem quite keen on them though...

Every country is going to have different "types" of buying and selling over the next 10 years scaling up or down based on their national currency/politicians actions towards bitcoin and "crypto"

We just want to see which countries go "underground" and which ones allow it with their national banks easily...it's going to be interesting!

Why not try it via Forex brokers? I believe that’s so much more comfortable thing and you get greater scope when it comes to making profits, so why not that? I myself trade with FreshForex and feel so much better than a specific Crypto exchange. Anyhow, it’s down to personal choice.

I do not like Forex and will not suggest anyone who is in crypto to start forex trading. Forex is quite different from Crypto and it is more dependent upon TA and there is no such things like Dependency upon news etc. Also forex market is not as volatile as crypto market is and also I think that crypto has a better future as compare to forex.

You have traded previously? Maybe no because you are wrong with your assessment. Forex is not too much difference from Crypto and I say this because I trade since last 7-8 years with FreshForex broker. I started Crypto trading 6 months ago. Trading on currency pairs or crypto is same but only the way of analyzing is different. Crypto is not entirely dependent on news but news create impact on it. Forex is also volatile when you use some pairs, but some are not volatile. I also understand that you maybe have not done trading or know about it much because Forex is legitimate business under which Crypto is also run. It's like Forex is the body and currency pairs/crypto/commodities and others are parts of it. I think you maybe will understand now. Also you can check education sites like Babypips to learn more about Forex.

Update on searching for a Coinbase alternative in the US.
Short answer, Coinbase is still the best option.

Coinbase has very high ACH limits and limit buys of only 0.15% if you wait 1 week before buying on Coinbase Pro.
Gemini starts with ACH limit of only $500 per day than goes to $1000 per day. Buy fee is 1%.
Kracken does not accept ACH so wire +fee is the only option.
Cash app appears to be 1.2% above spot.

Please keep this thread updated if you find better fee structure than Coinbase on both ACH and fees.

Hello Bitcoin Forum.

Can anyone suggest a good alternative to Coinbase?
I personally don't have much respect for the company with their recent actions and many failed wire-transfers in the past.

The reasons I use Coinbase are...

1. Instant bank USD -> Coinbase USD wallet and I can make a BTC purchase right away (unfortunately paying their high fee).
2. I can use limit orders to purchase/sell BTC without a fee
3. Trying to get my folks into crypto, so I like their simple interface to buy/sell crypto for those not using Coinbase Pro.

Are there any other exchanges that I can use that have these features?

TY!

Bittrex, binance and hitbtc I would recommend these exchanges

Add Kraken, and everything is said. They are 100% trustable and everything works like it should be.
