RE: Bitfinex in Trouble - BTC Amounts Shrinking, All FIAT Withdrawals Killed
Following and upvoted all pending. Are you an expat in Serbia?
Who issued your card? Serbian bank?
Fee for virwox says:
'Credit/Debit Cards, Skrill (Moneybookers): Similar to PayPal, Skrill charges us fees for its services, which are deducted from your deposit. The current fee for deposits in Euro for customers with their Skrill account kept in Euro is 0.39 Euro plus 3.5% of the transaction.'
I looked up this Skrill and they say different things but less than 3%. I will try experimenting directly with Skrill. Thank you!!
Thanks for the follow @buzzbeergeek and upvotes ! Yes, I am an expat, studying in Belgrade. Of course Serbian banks issued me the bank cards that I use for my transfers. Skrill is good. I use skrill too, although I have never bought bitcoins on my skrill account. On the contrary, I use skrill to change bitcoins to fiat/local currency like RSD. Moreso, I use skrill to exit the cryptoworld whenever I need fiat fast. Local bitcoins www.localbitcoins.com is also very good to exchange bitcoin for your local currency.
I am wary of changing BTC to my bank account due to possible taxes. 25% in Croatia. Any other way to get fiat rather than direct deposit? I was thinking BTC ATM but they charge 10%
Are you still planning on returning to fiat? Well, I have 50% of my financial resources in cryptocurrencies, assets and the remaining 50% in fiat. I own wirex USD virtual card https://wirexapp.com/cards/ and bitwala Euro virtual card https://www.bitwala.io/card/ (visa cards). They both work very well for me. I pay for most things that I need online, so I use those cards. I'm patiently waiting for DASH mastercard to come out.
In a distant future, hopefully :) Right now I'm more interesting into cashing in than out. You were very informative!
