Overview

A list of cryptocurrency markets or exchanges with pros and cons viewed as a EU citizen. This is to help find a first investing platform. If you are interested in investing in alt coins, you should check at the deposit and more importantly the withdrawal fees on bitcoins.

Every market has its own value to Bitcoin. Compare at Coinmarketcap Markets. Check the market itself for most up to date information on this. This changes constantly.

  • This list was made from information gathered at December 3rd and 4th, 2017.
  • I assume they all have a trading view graph tool.
  • This does not take into account VOLUME and BID-ASK SPREAD.
  • I won't be taking security into account as I have too little insight in this.
  • I look at Bitcoin first, then see if they offer altcoins.

All the information provided is subject to change.
