Sleekarena trading platform has two distinct platforms: the peer-to-peer community and the exchange trading platform. Registering, buying, selling and trading Bitcoin, Litecoin and other cryptocurrency is completely free.
However, users who created advertisements on the P2P platform are charged 0.8% flat fee for every completed bitcoin trade and 1% on litecoin trade. So, ensure you cap these values into your price setting when creating advertisement for your cryptocurrency trade.
On the Exchange platform, trading is free, but the maker and taker fee is 0.35%.
Deposit and Withdrawal fees
Bitcoins and Litecoins deposit to wallets are always free on Sleekarena trading platform.
However, transactions to other cryptocurrency wallets are subject to network transaction fees. The size of the fee changes depending on the current usage rate on blockchain.
Therefore, we automatically adjust this fee based on the current network congestion to ensure your transactions are confirmed as quickly as possible. The transaction fee is paid from your wallet when you send crypto out from your wallet.
Bitcoin is often described as something in between gold and a dollar bill – it is not quite a currency (no one is printing it) and it has elements of gold (limited supply). It is actually called a ‘digital currency’ and it can only be created and stored online.
There is no single entity that controls bitcoin. All transactions are made on ‘peer to peer’ bases i.e. from one individual to another and all transactions are entirely anonymous.
Bitcoins are produced by several users running computer scripts all over the world; these scripts solve difficult mathematical problems and once solved, an amount of bitcoin is ‘released’. These mathematical problems ensure that transactions are anonymous and it also gives rise to the term ‘cryptocurrency’ which is often used to describe bitcoin and other altcoins like Litecoin, Ethereum, etc.
Bitcoin is used to purchase products and services electronically, and there is an increasing demand for it in markets where anonymity and security is crucial.
Digital currencies are on the rise and their popularity is fueled by a number of different factors.
1. Bitcoin is decentralized – no central bank influence.
2. Bitcoin is anonymous – all transactions are private, though could be tracked because they are recorded.
3. Bitcoin is convenient and cheap to buy (you can buy as low as 0.0001 BTC) – instant and low cost transactions. It thrived on peer-to-peer community trade.
The best way to describe a bitcoin transaction is to compare it with a typical ‘cash in hand’ transaction that is known for many years ago.
When an individual purchases an item from another individual with cash, there is no government record taken to know that this transaction ever existed.
While all bitcoin transactions are monitored on the ‘block chain’, much like cash payments, there is no record of the individuals involved in the transaction.
Bitcoin does not run through a central bank and there is no ‘bank’ that controls money supply by printing or removing bitcoin from the market. Bitcoin is produced through these mathematical problems mentioned above and there is a limited supply that cannot be manipulated by anyone, anywhere in the world.
This lack of government or bank control means that seizures of bitcoin are theoretically impossible. The impact that Black Friday had on the poker community many years ago cannot be repeated if players deal with bitcoin.
Bitcoin was developed by a software developer known as ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’. Satoshi grew tired of the conventional means of processing payments and the fees that came with them. So, his idea was to create a currency that was unlinked from “legal” currencies and the associated transaction fees.
That is not to say that bitcoin is free from fees, but the fees on transactions are heavily reduced and are insignificant in comparison to what you might expect from a wire transfer or PayPal for instance.
You may read or download the first nine page bitcoin introductory presentation by Satoshi Nakamoto here.
No one owns bitcoin, the currency is held entirely on the internet and there is no single person, business or government with control over its supply or the rules on how it can be used.
Bitcoin is generated by a ‘pool’ of bitcoin ‘miners’ that run mathematical problems to solve the blockchain and earn bitcoin. This network of miners is also the very same network responsible for processing the transactions that take place. This implies that bitcoin is not only a currency, but a payment network as well.
Bitcoin is limited because the protocol that established the network is forcibly capped at releasing around 21 million bitcoins. However, this is 21 million ‘whole’ bitcoins.
A single bitcoin can be divided into halves, quarters, tenths and still transacted – in fact, the smallest possible amount of bitcoin is called a ‘Satoshi’ and is 0.00000001 of 1 bitcoin. In this regard, there is plenty of bitcoin to go around.
You can buy and trade as low as 0.001 bitcoins on Sleekarena and still make profit while you trade as the coins keep appreciating in the global market.
- Decentralized: there is no one central authority for bitcoin. Banks, governments and businesses cannot control transactions and are unable to seize funds from any bitcoin users.
- Easy to use: once you’re familiar with bitcoin you will find it easy to use. Accounts can be set up in minutes while bank accounts can take months with various hoops to jump through. There are no questions and no fees to setting up a bitcoin wallet.
- Anonymity: spend your money on what you want, when you want. Bitcoin is an anonymous way to transfer value through the Internet – go have fun!
- Transparency: the blockchain publicly stores all transaction information for anyone to see, meaning that while transactions are anonymous, they are entirely transparent.
- Free from fees: one of the most important wins for bitcoin is that the fees pale in comparison to a traditional money processor. Sending the equivalent of $0.01 through the Internet is now easy and makes micro-transactions more accessible for everyone anywhere in the world.
Bitcoin is indeed a network of digital transactions where the digital currency is sent to and fro an account called ‘wallets’. Each transaction is digitally signed using secured security certificates to verify that the transfer is completed successfully. You can see this transaction on your Sleekarena dashboard and a link to view it on blockchain.
Everyone within the bitcoin network can view the transaction on the blockchain which acts as a virtual ledger. Though transactions are publicly viewable, however they do not reveal any sensitive information beyond what is necessary to successfully complete the transaction i.e. the required payment addresses and the total amount to be transferred.
While there speculations of holding onto bitcoin in the hope of a price increase (which is good for trading purposes), the virtual currency is now adopted by a huge range of merchants making the incentive to spend ever greater.
When receiving bitcoin, we set at least 3 confirmations before the transaction is considered complete. Each confirmation takes roughly 10 minutes or less.
For larger sums of money, the number of confirmations is usually set to 5, meaning that there is no doubt that the funds have been received and the sender cannot reverse the transaction. This can result in transactions taking several hours. Once all of the confirmation steps have passed, the seller can be sure that the bitcoin has safely transferred.
For micro-transactions, people often choose to accept zero confirmations, meaning that payment can be received instantly but is also susceptible to an unethical user opting to reverse the transaction – for small sums, this tends not to be a worry.
