    Um... at 3.7%???? That's way too high.

    Coinbase clearly doesn't want your business. Forcing you to look elsewhere.

    One dumb company.

    some of the price can be recoup if one knows what to do

    I believe it's a default of $250 now. But you're paying 3.75% each time. Coinbase raping people.

    Quang... I just logged into Circle. Click "Buy Coins" and when it takes you to the next screen... it shows you the price when you select how many Bitcoins you want. It seems like it is FREE for the transaction... but the coins are marked up. $6 - $7 above Coinbase pricing.

    Unreal these companies.

    I'm just wondering if it looks better going to your bank from PayPal instead of Coinbase.

    How would you send $50,000 from Coinbase to your bank?

    Small increments over a good length of time?

    I can't imagine its going to matter either way. In the event you are ever audited by the IRS you're going to have to explain the transfers from either provider.

    Yeah, you're right. I just thought mixing up the appearances on the transactions might be useful, but probably not. I do like the option of being able to buy things right away, though.

    Keep all transactions under $10k. What are your concerns with getting $50k to your bank? taxes, account being closed?

    I don't see one advantage going through PayPal.

    1. 3.75% transaction fee with Coinbase

    2. Paypal could keep track of money coming in and report it depending on your volume.

    Would never use Paypal.


    Would rather risk Coinbase or Circle giving irs figures.

    Get that BitPay card everyone is talking about Giant. Go check that thread out in the Bitcoin area of SBR. Best thing in a long long long time.

    It'd be nice to have that option on my account, but for whatever reason they still won't give me the instant buy ability. However, Cash App has allowed me to instantly buy and withdraw Bitcoin for months. As I said, not clamoring for it since I have Cash App, but would be nice to have options considering it'd be nice to have the option to buy and withdraw ETH and Litecoin instantly.

    I'm already at $22.5k limit for bank purchases and $1875 for CC purchases (and automatically eligible for a higher CC limits in 12 days), but have used none of it since CC fees suck and I can't do ACH instantly. 1.5% ACH purchases aren't terrible, but having to wait a week doesn't make it worth it.

    Yeah, i finally got that instant purchase thing with bank account. Looks like its a fee of 1.5%. Can deposit up to $10,000 per day. I can trade instantly...but i cannot withdraw back to my bank or to an external btc address for 10 days. All that hype for nothing. Thought i could deposit and send instantly. Does me no good when trying to deposit to book right away.

    Can you pull real money out directly from your bitcoin wallets instead of transfer and using Coinbase?

    I never tried it with Block Chain.. Never even looked into it yet.. Just thought of it now.. Always cashed out thru Coin base in the past.
