ThunderIdeal Posted October 18, 2014 any of those not (or not yet) charging gst on purchases? if not i'd be looking elsewhere, overseas exchanges or localbitcoins. you'd have to be fiscally unwise to pay gst on a bitcoin purchase. no offense to anyone, but seriously... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rahli Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) There is a table on the site that lays it all out. Edited October 19, 2014 by rahli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted October 18, 2014 My bad, I did look but didn't see it and assumed the site hadn't been updated since the gst guidance. Good resource. I never heard of half of those exchanges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Chinese vendors have implemented new regulations which should drastically lower BTC volatility Edit: well to clarify it should reduce day to day volatility, with im guessing little effect on overall movements Edited January 25, 2017 by ThunderIdeal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SayN Posted January 25, 2017 ^ Hmm interesting. Do you have a link to that info? TBH I haven't seen too much daily volatility lately. I'm expecting it will dip down to AU$1000 or thereabouts in the next few months and then, as the end of the year approaches, head up to about AU$1500. Pure speculation of course.

ThunderIdeal Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) I dont think one link would do it justice there is a whole interesting timeline but Tldr high frequency trading was thriving in a zero fee environment, vendors only charged fees on liquidation, smalltime speculators were leveraged bigly and destroyed when a vendor couldnt process requests one afternoon as the Chinese price plummeted with news of capital controls or something, gov rightly intervened in the shit show. vendors now charge 0.2% on transactions which ends the frontrunning nonsense, 90% trade volume drop overnight no price change Less volatility makes btc more appealing as an actual currency *shrugs* Edited January 25, 2017 by ThunderIdeal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
