there are limited option to buy and sell now after the crack down. other than xbit, i think thers another 1 but i couldnt remember the name... the fees are expensive so i stop using it. i remember some1 mention here be4, its a singapore company.

as for scammer etc etc, that is why i rather do it on exchange. no headache later on, wouldnt want to risk few k just to save a couple ringgit. im promoting xbit because i felt that if more ppl going there and the volume is higher. the price would be more stable compare to now, seller can gain alot or loss alot same goes to buyer.... really hate xbit asia, so low volume.

200usd / btc ? that was quite long ago haha... but with current btc dive, i suppose it might touch 500 usd again... bad for me cis....

poloniex? they are quite good ,  trade alot of othet alt coim too. and they have btc usd as well. i lost quite alot from transfering from farm to poloeneix, trade for btc, transfer to local and sell it for rm. then withdraw into my account, but i felt ok as i dont want to get scam by saving a few buck.

poloniex uses usd only. but i dont know how you can deposit usd into polonex. is there really so high demand for btc here in lowyat here? i might want to sell some usd inside polonex then haha. but i need to discuss my friend first because I'm small fries.

For doomsday, I hope I answered your questions. .
