I don't know which online services you guys use to purchase Bitcoin, but my heart has been stolen by a thief named "Cointree."
I've been using Coinbase for ages, and getting past the insane transaction fees, not to mention the $300 limit, has been a mission to say the least. So I've moved over to Cointree!
It'll be quicker if I quote directly from their website, this is the "Price Find" feature they have.
"CoinTree is a little different to most Australian services. We source bitcoin from overseas where is cheaper. Since bitcoin is digital, there are no extra delays, and it ends up in you getting more bitcoin for your money."
"Our automated system has searched the global markets for the best price. Bitcoin has been sent to your account and a confirmation has been sent to you as per your notification settings."
So Cointree ACTUALLY makes sure you get the best price possible for what you're buying!
Rather than having to trust the word of a third party like Coinbase.
The bitcoin also isnt immediately transferred to your account, like with other services. This is because Cointree buys REAL Bitcoin, then deposits it in a wallet for you, the alternative being a simple "Bitcoin IOU", which you have to trust they can pay out when you need it.
All in all, this service is just damn cool, and I love that is Australian based!
We really do have some amazing stuff going on in Bitcoin down under!!
What Bitcoin purchasing service do you use?
