i have been lurking on this thread for a while now and i have bought about 40k wagerr so far, using Ether to do it. i'm relatively new to crypto investing in the last few months and have been using coinbase, but with it being up and down the last couple days (presumably due to ehtereum trading volume) it has been frustrating to say the least. i've missed out on 2 price dips now due to coinbase, the profits of which are funding my wagerr purchases. what are some of you more seasoned guys using as alternatives for USD purchases?
i am also interested in any info on the exchange it will be released on. white page says minimum of 1, any info on which one or possibly multiple due to the ICO success? thanks
Try Localbitcoins.com -Buying Bitcoin by online transfer. Try small amount first to get familiar with the timing. Once you're good in predicting short period price up, you can get a little consolation by manipulating the timing. If you're not sure, don't do it.
Bargain! Choose the best price on the list, approach with your first massage:" I'm only able to pay USD2200 For BTC 1, Is that OK?" (while the box shows USD2300 For BTC 1)
I also use localbitcoins when other, cheaper methods are not available. I always try to get the best rate, ideally a few points undermarket. Then I post a sell ad a few points over market in a payment form that is convenient for me to do it again (direct cash deposit I can usually get access to same day with my bank, etc) The amount I sell is the difference in the percent. So if I get it a total of 5% undermarket and sell it for 8% over market I will take 12% out of localbitcoin to buy eth or speculative alts or just to hold as btc etc. It is not a money machine, but it is a good way to get your btc a little cheaper when dealing with over priced exchanges.
