Damn, just realized Strike referrals bonus is just no fees. Lame. Is River the only US BTC only exchange that offers sats for refferals?
Discussion
River is the best Bitcoin exchange hands down. And the only one I know of that offers good referral bonuses. If you want my code holler
Was just looking at what to shill my friend group. I use Strike and River. Like you said, River looks like the best bonuses.
Strike has lower fees though and it makes a big difference for larger buys.
Strikes variable spread turned me off to them as an exchange.
Yea I get that. River is awesome too. At the end of the day I prioritize the most sats for my dollars and Strike has given me that every time I buy (I often buy on both at the same time just to confirm)
That’s good to know. What’s the difference by percent typically?
Strike is the only other Bitcoin exchange I would recommend to anyone.
For a $10 recurring buy at the same time, Strike usually gives me 100 sats more.
If you do a preview buy for both river and strike for $10k, I just got a quote for 9,862,655 from strike and 9,830,956 from river.
So it’s not a crazy difference and there’s room for improvement in my analysis, but it’s conclusion I’ve come to for the last 6 months. I like this method of comparison versus trying to come up with the best via posted fee rates, because this method takes into account spread and order book depth.
