Bit-thread has been flagged by Financial Markets Authority for "Unregistered/Unlicensed entity offering financial products or services|Fraud ...". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Bit-thread has been flagged as an unauthorized entity. I informed my friend immediately. Please always verify with official sources - a quick search could save you thousands.
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
What really bothers me about Bit-thread is the disconnect between their marketing and reality. They position themselves as a premium service but deliver a below-average experience. Found them from a blog post comparing services and I fell for the polished exterior. Never again.
Pros: Real-time alerts|Easy withdrawals|Copy trading available|Professional team
Cons: Website design could be more modern
Bit-thread has the worst mobile app I have ever used for investing. It crashes constantly, features that work on desktop are missing entirely, and the security implementation is questionable at best. How they released this app is beyond me.
Pros: Full transparency|Clear documentation
Cons: Account statements could be more detailed
After spending since I opened my account last year trying to make Bit-thread work for me, I have given up. The platform has too many limitations, the fees are not competitive, and the quality of their market data is questionable. There are much better options available.
Pros: Multi-device support|Great customer service
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
The platform at Bit-thread is riddled with bugs. Charts display incorrect data, order confirmations sometimes fail silently, and the portfolio tracker disagrees with actual positions. After for a couple of months now of dealing with this, I have had enough.
Pros: Excellent charting|Personal attention|Professional team|Low minimum deposit
Cons: Wait times can be long during peak hours|Live chat only during business hours
KYC with Bit-thread is a nightmare. I submitted my ID and proof of address. They rejected it and asked for a utility bill. I sent it. They asked for a bank statement. Then they asked for a selfie with the ID. Then they said the selfie did not match. I gave up.
Pros: Easy withdrawals|Transparent fees|Smooth onboarding|Stable platform
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers
Bit-thread advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Fast deposits|Wide product range
Cons: Website design could be more modern
I invested $1,000 with Bit-thread after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Financial Markets Authority.
Pros: Professional looking website
Cons: Withdrawal fees demanded|Communication cut off|Not authorized
My withdrawal from Bit-thread was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for a few weeks now of being strung along.
Pros: Regular updates|Multi-device support|Regular platform improvements
Cons: Nothing significant|No integrated tax optimization
If you are reading this considering Bit-thread - run. I wish I had read more negative reviews after attending a webinar they hosted. I thought the positive ones were real. Maybe some are. My experience over for the past year and a half has been so bad I feel obligated to warn others. Do not make my mistake.
Pros: Comprehensive tools|Intuitive for beginners|Good analytical tools
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux
