    Anyone know where the best Bitcoin exchange rates can be had or know of a comparison site similar to the MSE travel money site?
    Quite a few I've checked require you to log in and have Bitcoin to sell before they tell you the rate. Best I've found so far is LocalBitcoins.

    EDIT (23/7/2020):

    Summary of thread - Don’t bother reading, hardly anybody is on topic.

    Kudos to “pioruns” who suggested Binance Jersey and “Bowlhead99” who mentioned Bitstamp.

    I’ve done my own research and the results are tabulated below in order of best overall rate for exchanging about a grands worth of BTC and withdrawing the GBP. Note that I could be wrong as on some sites it’s not easy to be sure what the actual sell rate is. These rates were obtained within seconds of each other. Binance Jersey looks like the best bet - thanks again pioruns.



    Yay! I am glad my platform has turned out to be cheapest and you like it. Looks like there is only two post "on-topic" in this thread - yours and mine! :D I kinda knew the results as I did very similar comparison many months ago. Nothing has changed and Binance JE is still on top. Feel free to use my registration link if you like it: 
     Enjoy!
    Fair comment, but suggest you post your link on the referrals board per forum etiquette, otherwise all the discussion threads get plagued with people trying to make their own referral cash regardless of whether whatever they are posting stands on its own merits.

    I'll remove my 'spam' flag after the link that pays you a percentage of binance's profits from new customers is moved to the appropriate section. Cheers!
    Of course, link deleted :)

    I like Peter Schiff. Seen few videos by him on the Gold vs Bitcoin topic. I may disagree with him on this, but it's still very informative to watch his videos and I enjoy it.
    My favourite with Peter from over 10 years ago, when market crash happened, was him educating 'Occupy Wall Street' movement participants and "remaining 99%" what is free market, capitalism and so on, and why they should not fight capitalism but the government. Its on Youtube " I am the 1% - Let's Talk". Really cool to watch.
  • Yes Peter talks straight and tells a good story. I thought the debate in the link quite amusing, if somewhat repetitive. Must say I can never in a million years see BitCoin being adopted by gov'ts as the new 'reserve' currency. Pomp is in fantasy land there. Gov'ts want what they control and Bitcoin is out of their control. Gold gets my vote.

    I know nothing about Bitcoin and have no interest or views either way, but I could never put any money whatsoever, into something called 'Bittylicious'!!!

    Cathie Wood take on Bitcoin. Love this Woman. Her Ark ETFs just kill it, even the ones that don't have Tesla in them. Unfortunately not available in this country.

    No one is asking you to and no one cares. If you are not interested in Bitcoin, what you are doing in this thread?

    Good find. Looks like very early institutional investor. Video is from 2017. They must have made a ton of money for their investors if they bought Bitcoin for $250.

    CEO of $12B financial advisory group is saying that Bitcoin is realising it's plan to become digital gold. Interesting.
