Trading CFD Bitcoins with Brokers
Trading bitcoins in traditional Bitcoin exchanges requires a long and complicated signup process which is likely to put off a lot of traders and speculators. But these exchanges do provide actual delivery into the wallets of their clients. Brokers like Vantage FX offer Bitcoin CFDs on their platforms which means that the signup process is easier but there will be no actual delivery of the bitcoins.
