Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Any advice on what exchange to use from the USA? Asking for a backwards, techless Ozark hick 
funding/withdrawal options other than wire transfer? I thought Kraken would be good, but apparently its easier to use from the North Pole than from within US.
funding/withdrawal options other than wire transfer? I thought Kraken would be good, but apparently its easier to use from the North Pole than from within US. no advice per se but ill give a quick rundown on coinbase as ive used it since 2013 or so. be aware it gets a lot of hate for reasons but it works.
cons:
KYC to the max
they will track the shit outta you.
cant send or receive from any gambling site (pretty sure).
will sell all info they can get on you and your corn to whoever wants it.
site always seems to have "issues" when things get hot and interesting.
thoughtfully sends the IRS a 1099 form in case you forget
pros:
takes yubikey as 2fa
whitelisted withdrawal addys
a vault that time delays coins moving (optional)
links to bank account, and i think debit cards but not sure on that never used debit card there
Didn't roll out segwit or batching for the longest time (bloated the blockchain and inflating network fees) but started pushing Btrash to noobs right away
Bought Neutrino a company that sells hacking tools to the governments
Created Coinbase Analytics software and sold it to US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and IRS
Overall shitty exchange that apparently goes down every time there's a high volatility in the market (actually kinda fun way to spot coinbase supporters when they bitch about the service)
etc, etc, etc... look up #DeleteCoinbase
Yet for some reason people continue to promote them and try to get noobs to support that company
Mandatory required quote every time there's a mention of coinbase users
...
So i see we still have few masochists supporting coinbase
