Re: Coinbase banned Germany & Luxembourg

just other solution for buying bitcoin
- buy payeer usd
- deposit usd at BTC-E
- buying bitcoin at BTC-E
- withdraw the bitcoin to your wallet

Who is BTC-e? A ghost company. Where is their physical office, where is their financial license being incorporated in EU?

How can you entrust your money to an unlicensed company?

I trust my money to btc-e and sleep easy. I don't need to visit a physical office and that they don't have a license does not bother me. The exchange functions, it has for a long time and their service is good. Each to their own I guess.

Isn't that the case with all exchanges (Gox; Cryptsy)? They're great until they aren't?

Yes, that's why I only keep a very small amount of my total cryptos on there. When I want to hedge I can do it quickly. I never lost with either of those 2 sites, or used them much but what was with cryptsy, did they have a license?
