About Bitcoin Miner

The platform is basically aimed at traders:inside who handle larger amounts of money. Those who have fully authenticated their account can only make fiat withdrawals of 10,000 euros or more. Therefore, it is more recommended for people with larger budgets. For those, there is also the option to make Over the Counter (OTC) trades.

Before using it, it is advised to familiarize yourself a bit with the history of the company. This is because in the past the company, along with its parent company iFinex, has had repeated problems with regulatory authorities, including penalties from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
