Okay. So most here still got oversea accounts to use on gemini.
There goes what i have learn here, total waste. Initially was quite excited due to mega sales. Even already standby ammo to buy since morning. Portfolio i think drop 15-20%, buying price premium 10-15%(which i dont buy yet). Total 25-30%? Good time to DCA down, but well....suck to be Malaysian tho.
I think the first page need bolder statement to warn Local Malaysian on cryto trade. 10-15% premium is standard.

really pity Malaysians to pay 10% premium on BTC price, I can feel the pain too
Actually, I just checked with XBit Asia about 30 minutes ago, and the lowest sell price was only about 3% higher than the global average price I saw on Coinmarketcap.
Personally, I have not seen a 15% premium before.
One thing that crossed my mind is that maybe (just maybe) the prices in Malaysia are delayed and not as quick as the global average, hence when prices are dropping, the prices on Malaysian exchanges don't drop as fast, so you will be seeing a larger difference.
Another thing to note is that we should never use the global average as a true gauge for our own buy prices, that will just get you depressed and frustrated.
Most countries' prices fluctuate 3 - 5% above or below the global average prices anyway.
