It's been 5 days and Gatehub still hasn't approved me for EUR or USD deposits. Does it normally take this long? Coinbase is a bit of a ripoff, 3.5% charge for all deposits. Thats $700 on a $20K deposit. No wonder the approval process is quick and easy, they're probably being charged 0.5% by the bank.
I'm at the early stages of verification with Kraken but so far it looks the business compared to Coinbase. Gemini, the Bitcoin Exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, has no fees for withdrawals/deposits. https://gemini.com/transfer-fees/ "We are a fully regulated, fully compliant, New York-based digital asset exchange for both individuals and institutions. We are regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS) and held to the highest level of capital reserve requirements and banking compliance standards."
ripple in the gutter. I decided to hold rather than take a profit like an idiot. Good buying opportunity though
