Bitcoin exchanges can be classified into three main categories:
* Bitcoin exchanges that specializes in trading Bitcoin against fiat currencies with some limited support for other cryptocurrencies. These exchanges tend to have low trading fees and high trading volume, specially for pairs of Bitcoin against fiat currencies. * Cryptocurrency exchanges that specializes in trading cryptocurrencies against Bitcoin or fiat currencies. These exchanges tend to support a huge number of cryptocurrencies, they offer low trading fees and high trading volume, specially in pairs that involve Bitcoin against another Cryptocurrency, * Bitcoin exchanges that provide a service for Buying or Selling Bitcoin With a convenient payment methods like Paypal, Credit Card, Debit Card, etc. These exchanges provide a service for people who want to buy Bitcoin easily and instantly. So if you are looking for a way to buy Bitcoin with Paypal, or Buy Bitcoin with Credit Card, or Buy Bitcoin with Debit Card, this type of exchanges is for you.

What Are The Best Bitcoin Exchanges You Can Use In 2017 ?

The word "Best" is considered to be a subjective word in most cases, and sure it is in the case of Bitcoin exchanges. Everyone has different criteria that should be met by the bitcoin exchange for him/her to even consider using it. (Note that most of Bitcoin exchanges in this list can be used as a cryptocurrency exchange too.) For Me these criteria are: Bitcoin Exchange rate - Bitcoin Price: In a perfect world, all exchanges should offer relatively the same price for you to buy or sell Bitcoin, but in the real world, each exchange has its order-book with Bids (Price offered by people who want to buy Bitcoin) and Asks (Price offered by people who want to sell Bitcoin). This means that Bitcoin exchange rate may differ from one exchange to another, so when you want to sell or buy Bitcoin, choose wisely on which exchange to trade. Trading fees: These are the fees that you pay for when you want to buy or sell Bitcoin. These fees can vary from 0% to 0.5% in most popular exchanges. If you are a long-term investor, trading with an exchange that has 0.1% or 0.2% trading fee won't affect your investment outcome. But If you are a day trader that trades multiple times a day, this will be the difference between being in the green or in the red. Deposit/Withdrawal fees: These are the fees that you pay for when you want to deposit/withdraw money to/from the exchange. Payment method: Most exchanges use bank transfer as their method for funding your exchange account, but you can still find exchanges that offer other options to fund your account, like with Paypal, Neteller, Payza, Credit Card or a Debit Card. At the same time don't forget that deposit fees depend also on the option you use for funding your account. So, choose the exchange that offer a funding method that is cheap and most convenient for you. Verification requirements: If you are only trading between Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, most of the exchanges won't require more than an email verification, some exchanges won't ask more than that, even if you trade fiat money as long as you don't deposit or withdraw fiat. On the other hand, if you are going to deposit/withdraw fiat money prepare to verify your account with an ID, Passport or Driver licence number. Finally, here is the Bitcoin exchange list which I will update regularly to reflect any change in the future. (Currenctly this list of Bitcoin exchanges contains 39 exchanges.)
