    I hear you on the fees. Frustrating. I let my balance build so that $20 doesn’t seem so bad.

    So...the $20 fee is when they sold your bitcoin?

    Oh ok, got it. That's the 1. whatever % fee they charge when you sell btc on Coinbase. Like chico said try to use coinbase pro(formerly gdax).

    Put it on the bitpay vi-sa card.

    It's a one time $9.99 fee to buy/activate the card, then all BTC transfers to bitpay card are free.

    1% isnt cheap. gemini used to be .25%. last i checked on coinbase pro you can buy/sell for no fee on limit orders and .3% on market orders.

    Why do you Crypto people need local currency? I thought crypto was the end all, and it's superior to local currency in every way imagineable. I don't understand why you'd ever convert your gambling money into fiat. It's such a head scratcher.

    All those exchanges are garbage. Most of them wont even verify you. I tried Gemini basically gave every piece of fukin i.d that you could imagine and they said I am not allowed to use their service. Coinbase is the worst company ever. They rape you in fees and customer service is non existent. They will not reply to you. All anybody needs to cashout bitcoin is bitpay card. Money on card in seconds when you transfer with no fees. I even think they have an option where you can transfer the money from the card to a bank account if you are too lazy to withdraw cash and deposit. As far as buying bitcoin localbitcoins simple and square cash is quick. Square cash good too because they dont ask for your life history to verify. Just a simple i.d email.

    Most banks don’t accept bitcoins. When Robinhood starts to allow all trading of cryptos, I will be moving all my Coinbase holdings into Robinhood. Robinhood no fees for anything.

    Robinhood does allow crypt trading in a few states but not all of them.

    It’s a hassle on Coinbase but you should always transfer your crypts to the exchange (GDAX) and sell (convert) to USD there, rather than so it from the Coinbase acct.

    robinhood isnt really that useful for bitcoin unless you just want to speculate on the price. i dont think you can transfer bitcoin in or out of robinhood. also robinhood still passes on the exchange fees that they use onto you but they dont take any fees for themselves.

    Every thing that is said or claimed about the "ease" of bit-coin just isn't true.


    It takes days for the first buy from a bank account to be available, then after that you can go nuts at any time


    of day or night, drunk or sober.


    Or it cost an absurd percentage to get it bought instantly with C-card or another way.

    The only reason the S-books "push" it or "pump" BTC so hard is to try and get you to go through the process of

    linking it to your bank account so then people can buy and send BTC instantly and gamble their whole damn bank

    account down to zero in 30 minutes if they are drunk or can't stop losing one night.

    This BTC crap is only "pumped" because it is a way that they can get every dime you have in your bank account

    in one losing session of gambling.

    Maybe other people have more discipline than me, but I know I ain't linking my bank account to something that


    makes it where I could lose every dime I have in the bank in 1 hour, or one damn night! No way!

    OP is the guy who teases SBR pros about betpoints claiming he is rich and doesn't need betpoints (basically free money) then cries about a $20 fee. Can't make this shit up. It is called the price of doing business. If you don't want to pay it then don't fukin gamble offshore. Pretty simple if you ask me.

    bank transfers take like 3-5 days. books want bitcoins because ppl cant freeroll them with crypto and they probably have lower transaction fees.

    I'm not sure what you mean.


    Yes, after you/they verify everything, the 1st BTC buy from your bank account takes days before you can use it.


    But after that you can Buy BTC instantly and transfer it to a S-book at any time day or night. Drunk or sober.

    All the way until your bank account is empty.

    LOL Why would you "guess" that it was "unlikely" when you don't know?

    Yes, the ACH process from a bank takes 3 days. So you normally have to wait 3 days for the ACH to clear,

    before you would have "Access" to your BTC.

    But if you have made enough transactions and bought enough BTC, (like $5,000 or more)

    then they will make it where you can buy it instantly.
