    Gemini Bitcoin Exchange

    Just used Gemini for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Interface is simple but very very fluid. Coins were converted to USD in a matter of seconds. I usually sell in person but the market is experiencing alot of volatility right now and I didn't have the balls to hold. Either way, if you guys are looking for a solid exchange check it out. Cash should be in my bank account within 2-3 business days - will keep you guys updated!


    Random question - why don't people use exchanges more often on here? is there any particular reason? All I really see talk about is bitpay cards and lbc

    Never use Coinbase anymore. I use their exchange GDAX. I'd venture that lots of people on here don't realize that they have a GDAX account just by having Coinbase. Can't beat zero fee as a market maker.

    Why is GDAX better

    It's a public exchange where you just buy and sell directly with other users.

    Coinbase is an exchanger that does that on your behalf and charges a premium to do it.

    People like to pay for simplicity but actually going to an exchange like GDAX yourself is really not much more complicated.

    You need to buy some bitcoin with your $$ before you can send it anywhere.

    Come on 7s, get with the program. Gemini gives you an immediate credit to buy bitcoin but you have to wait to transfer it out until the funds clear in 3 business days.

    Not really. I am sure plenty of others thought the same as you did first time.

    And no problem
