Title: Discrepancy in UK and German bitcoin price
Post by: violetthecat on August 10, 2013, 08:30 pm
Hello everyone

SR newbie here, hoping that I can finally say goodbye to my days of sitting in shitty pubs buying pints for people I don't trust. (Well, it's not all been like that but, you know).

I notice that the price on bitcoin.de is about 74 Euro. Surprisingly, this is the same numerical figure currently charged by most vendors on bitbargain, a UK site--except of course that the UK site charges in sterling.

Now clearly-- 74 Euro would actually cost me (as I'm in the UK) about 66 pounds.

Why doesn't everyone buy bitcoins from Germany? Am I missing something obvious?
