Recently the cryptocurrency market has been showing some positive upwards movements after hitting yet another yearly low on the 14th of August. Most alts have found their bottom on that date and have seen a small price increase. After I sold some Bitcoin and Ethereum through a brokerage firm that converted BTC and ETH to my local fiat currency, I was surprised at the amount of money that was lost between the BTC and ETH price at the time of selling and the amount I received in my bank account. I had to pay a premium to buy Bitcoin and I get penalized when I sell Bitcoin through the broker, so I started looking into over-the-counter (OTC) trading to cut out the expensive brokerage firm. After doing my research I discovered a safe way to trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies OTC through a subsidiary of Huobi group, called Huobi OTC.
