Coinbase adds instant paypal or debit card payment/selling options

Today Coinbase announced they now allow instant sell bitcoins through Paypal at 3.75% sell fee. You can also instantly buy with your debit cards at a 3.75% buy fee. These are both instant. American citizens can still always buy with your verified US bank accounts for 1% buy/sell fees, with higher limits, but these usually take 4-5 days to complete.

If you don’t have account already, Join Coinbase here.

Good news to have more options, but Coinbase, myself and many other bitcoins are begging you, please let those fees become more comparable to Bitstamp and Gemini, more affordalble!

rise bitcoin RISE!

rise bitcoin RISE!

Now, lets speculate why this is happening? What are your opinions? (please comment your thoughts)

Is it:

USAA integrating bitcoin balance for their banking customers??
Blockchain tech featured in The Economist magazine (or blockchain technology in general)
The Winklevoss’s launch of trading platform Gemini.com
Worldpay quietly supporting Bitcoin and Blockchain
Something happening in CHINA?

Maybe just a mix of them all, or some secret undercover shit that is way over our heads? Other ideas?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Coinbase fees too high?

Bitstamp with 0.5% fee and then there’s Coinbase with 1% fee, I was wondering, why is this so high? and is this fair? I love bitcoin but really for an exchange to be taking 1% on all sells and all buys is just ridiculous imo. I love you Coinbase, love you bitcoin, but this really should be updated to a more fair amount.

The Winklevoss brothers are launching Gemini but it seems they have not yet released their fee amount. I emailed them already:

Hi, i’d like to know what kind of fees will Gemini have per transaction?
Coinbase has 1%, Bitstamp 0.5%
Where will you guys be at? I’m very interested, i’d love to see something lower than 1%, that is insane imo
Thank you

from TalkBitcoins.com

I am not the only one who thinks this way, here’s a thread on Reddit about it ->

I love you coinbase, and love your easy to use platform, but really, why the high fees?

UPDATE (Oct 18, 2015): Gemini replied that they have only 0.25% transaction fees! 🙂
