So it would appear over the last 2 months 2 exchanges have closed it's doors for US Customers to be able to buy and sell there BTC.
First off the first company to go under was Change Tip. This lost quite a bit of transactions as places like Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, and of the like never really adopted the system. Which the whole point of it was to allow you to give someone a small amount of money for them doing something for you. Whether they bought you a cup of coffee and your paying them back. They did something nice for you or whatever you feel the need to send someone a small transaction of $100 or under to pay them for.
Essentially Facebook has implimented it's own tipping system of a sorts, and well Twitter and other places never saw the need to allow someone to be tipped over a social media app.
So due to the lack of interest the plug has been pulled on Change Tip.
Then we have Circle. Now this where there's been quite a bit of mis-information being posted around the net on what happened with Circle. Essentially from what I always gathered Circle was never in the BTC market for the long haul anyways. They were trying to figure out a way to beat Pay Pal's fees and become the next Pay Pal of the world. They brought on BTC to help with that goal, yet in the end decided because of how practically anonymous BTC is. They needed something a bit more verifiable in the end.
So now they've brought up there own sort of Crypto Currency called Spark. They only way to transact spark will be by opening up and verifying your Circle account. That way they know both people who sending each other a transaction over Circles network. The new technology will be based on the blockchain model, but won't allow for BTC transactions.
Now in a minor twist, they will still allow you hold your BTC in a wallet at Circle. Yet it'll be known as a wallet and not a place where you can buy and sell your BTC. For that they've partnered with Coinbase. Which by most reports I am seeing on Coinbase. You have to be relatively careful on how you get your coins into there. As they've employed technologies that can guess that your coins came from places they shouldn't have. Hence why you'll see quite a few posts on here about making sure you set up a separate wallet of where your casino winnings will go into first. That way they don't see the transactions coming from known casino wallet providers, such as Cubits.
Hopefully this will be the last of the fatailites we see in the BTC market for now. Even though I'm guessing we'll see more as the BTC market keeps going up and down rather violently these days.
