so does anyone know of another service that offers
what bitcoin brokers does without the commission they
make

Checked many of them and signed up for many of them, they all will charge deposit fee, minimum deposit fee is 1% for bank transfer at some sites. Everything else is higher!
Verifications is getting worse, you have to share so much of info which normally it is alright if you trust the site, however no exchange site that is popular right now is trust worthy since really there aren't any reliable and real info about them other than site email.

So much for a currency that is supposed to be used for buy and sell. That's the problem with BitCoin right now, you have to pay too much for USD deposit in order to buy them which really doesn't make sense to use BitCoin to buy things, would be much better to buy things with USD right now.

As far as using BitCoin as stocks, then you need to find the exchange website that charges the minimum deposit fee, and again the lowest one is bank transfer. Everything else then you are looking at 3.5% and higher.

Until you get paid by BitCoin, right now there isn't much things to benefit from BitCoin other than using them as stocks. Pretty sure they will figure out something in the future.

As for avoiding taxes, BitCoin is taxed as a property, if you buy and sell BitCoin you will only pay tax if you make profit and I don't see what's the problem of paying taxes from profit you will make off of someone else who lost money from buying or selling BitCoin!
