any other UKers here holding their breath for ~$1230 when we finally hit £1000? that is gonna be when my head explodes.
Yep - one here Spooder. That would be fantastic.
The crazy thing is, I've tried to explain bitcoin to quite a few people over the last few years. Some have nodded approvingly - but most have been sceptical. But none that I know of have acquired any BTC. I'm watching this rise on my own (so to speak)
The one I'm waiting for is $1163 on stamp. And I'm starting to think I might see it before 23:59 GMT.
I have spent so much time watching the price over the festive period its embarassing.
Where do you guys buy/sell BTC, by the way? I get paid monthly in bitcoin and since Circle shut down BTC sells I have to resort to Coinfloor. It's not bad but still a hassle and you get spanked on withdrawals, of course.
Its not an exchange more of a market and the seller fee is a little high but the margins are generally quite high so compensates for that.
All depends how many you are trying to shift.
Otherwise you could use Kraken but the GBP volume there is quite low unless you convert to Euros.
Thanks. Looking for convenience and low fees really. Used to use Stamp but the bank fees and appalling FX rate was killing me. I've bought from bitbargain, three years ago as I was learning about BTC, but selling would be a hassle. Will look into Kraken but anywhere abroad will probably use SEPA, which incurs vast penalties. I've got a friend who uses LocalBitcoins, but I don't like the idea of waiting around and doing it all manually.
Basically the banking sector here sucks with regard to bitcoin.
