The Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority has granted this license and registration to the company after various auditions and security controls.

Where can I buy bitcoins?

Our platform is a viable and secure option that enables you to buy different types of cryptocurrencies, for example, bitcoins, litecoins, ethereums, ripples (XRP), and stellar lumens. These currencies are in the top 10 of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world. Please notice that our platform does not support Bitcoin Cash.

We want our platform to be accessible to as many people as possible, for which we offer a diverse selection of payment methods. These are:

• SEPA Bank Transfers: the Single Euro Payments Area includes all 28 EU countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.
• Credit- and debit cards: an easy, straightforward and secure option to buy bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.
• SOFORT Banking: an instant online payment method available in Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Poland. Works with most consumer banks from these countries.
• Instant payments with S-pankki: an instant online payment method only available in Finland.

Payment methods for buying and selling bitcoins

The most straightforward way to buy bitcoins is with bank transfers inside the SEPA area. SEPA is an abbreviation for Single Euro Payments Area, which allows both national and international transfers between the SEPA countries. Depending on your bank, international transfers take from 1 to 5 business days.

The European Central Bank (ECB) defines a business day as any other day except for Saturday, Sunday, and certain holidays. Also, take into account that every bank processes its payments within certain operating hours. Get familiar with your bank and its ways of operating to be sure how your transfers are being processed.

Urgent bank transfers in 10 seconds

If you don’t have the time to wait for your bank to process your payment, I’d recommend you to use instant bank transfers. The advantage of this option is its speed as the transfer takes only 10 to 20 seconds. This service is called SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst).

Some banks offer this service to their customers for free, whereas others may require a small fee for it. This fee might be a percentage of your payment, some fixed amount of money, or a combination of these two. If you’re wondering if this payment method is the best for you, please consult your bank to see their conditions on SCT Inst. Different tools and options for buying cryptocurrencies

There are various different platforms that offer services of buying and selling bitcoins in an easy way with various payment methods. However, Coinmotion is one of the few platforms that offer the basic tools of trading any currency.

Limit Order
With the limit order feature, you can establish a certain price with which you want to buy or sell bitcoins. You can maximize profits on your bitcoin investments by activating the automatic buying and selling processes.

Stop Order
Use this option to protect yourself from steep falls of the market price, or to enjoy the upward tendencies of the market value.

The next step would be to be able to manage these trading orders through a mobile app that would be available for Android and iOS. We’re making research on the issue so that in the future you could download the app to your Android devices from Google Play or from App Store to your iPhone and iPad.

Situation in cryptomarkets

Cryptocurrencies are still relatively new phenomena in the economy, as the oldest crypto Bitcoin has existed only a bit over 10 years. However, during these ten years bitcoin has achieved big goals and gained such extensive popularity many of us couldn’t have even dreamed of. During the decade of 2010 bitcoin made the most profit as an investment instrument in comparison to all traditional investment products.

When the second decade of bitcoin was about to start, its value was close to 7000 USD. If bitcoin gains itself a significant role as governments’ reserve currency and as an investment product of big companies, the value of one bitcoin might rise thousands of percent in the following years, as has happened in the past. In spring 2020 we witnessed yet another halving of the number of bitcoins created, which in itself creates pressure for the prices to start rising. Bitcoin has a built-in feature that halves the amount of the new bitcoins created once every four years, which has historically meant a strong increase in the prices. The future, and especially the spring, of bitcoin in 2020 surely looks interesting and undoubtedly brings new opportunities to the bitcoin community.
