If you've looked at prices on Coinbase lately you may have noticed that bitcoin is being sold for more than $1,000 than it's trading on other exchanges. At this moment it's just below 16K on Bittrex but I can't buy using fiat on Bittrex.
I don't want to pay $1,000 markup plus fees and end up paying close to 10% over actual price.
But what about Kraken tier 3?
Yeah I tried getting set up on level 3 multiple times and they keep giving me errors on the document scans I keep trying to upload even though the scans fall within their requirements (image size and resolution).
What's worse is their site won't even load half the time anymore
I can't get it to work EVER using firefox and it works maybe half the time using Chrome but I keep getting the error message shown above and keep having to refresh the page. Their trades fail more than half the time the past week as well and I'm about ready to move every coin I hold on Kraken elsewhere.
I know there are others like GDAX, bitstamp, and Gemini but they all have somewhat higher prices on BTC than some of the exchanges that don't allow direct fiat purchases (although not as high as coinbase).
Does anyone know of an exchange (other than Kraken) that has reasonable rates to buy BTC or any other crypto currency directly using fiat?
Gemini have Lower Price This is a Comparison :
Price : Very Low
But They Accept only Bank Transfer
Coinmarket : 17073 $
Gemini : 17184.87$
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely check that out. I don't mind doing bank transfer as long as it's saving me money!
GDAX is usually very close to the same prices as Coinbase.
I've read that GDAX and Coinbase are owned / operated by the same group...I speculate that Coinbase is a bit more aimed at newbies who want an easy way to buy crypto. I haven't checked out GDAX in detail but I hear it has more options as far as trading is concerned.
Ive read and been told that by others as well, Im pretty sure it's accurate info. Id say GDAX is the upgraded version of Coinbase. More complicated but more options. I see a reason for having accounts in both.
Great question! They are killing me. I'm just a little guy trying to get ahead a few bucks at a time and the fees make it much more difficult. Yesterday I started looking in to the other exchanges. There are better options but I have not decided where to go. Coinbase is so easy to use.
