How would you broker a deal between a seller and buyer of bitcoins?

[jafo]

1. Suppose you have a supplier you know for a long time (and do business with‌ on a regular basis) who wants to sell his bitcoins.
   
2. Suppose you have a client‍ you know for a long time (and do business with on a regular basis) who⁠ has liquid money, i.e. wire transfer, that wants to buy bitcoins.
   
3. #1 and #2 do⁤ NOT know each other AT ALL! They live on different continents. They do NOT even⁣ know the existence of one another.
   
4. Suppose you don't want to throw caution to the⁢ wind and purchase the bitcoins from #1 with your own money and then sell them︀ to #2, mainly due to market volatility. Too much money is at stake.
   
5. This will︁ be a monthly ongoing transaction for the next 24 months, so DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) is︂ the strategy.
   
6. How would you structure the transaction so you can profit from a small︃ commission (~0.25%) without upsetting anyone and making it a fair deal for everyone involved???

I would tell both of them to open an account with Kraken. And to send‌ me a case of wine for the smart advice.

Pardon my ignorance, but I just went to my Kraken account and I couldn't find how‍ I can make that 0.25%...

I'm NOT too keen to introduce my supplier to my⁠ buyer, although they are not in a vertical line. Different products, but still. That feels⁤ to me like introducing my Colombian girlfriend to my Venezuelan girlfriend. They might hit it⁣ off and dump me rof/%

Seriously, though, how can I use Kraken (or another system) to⁢ profit 0.25% of the buy/sell every month?

I suppose⁢ Johnny's point was not to bother and let go including your potential cut

Well you gotta either upfront fund eventual vola on this yourself︅ with your own stash, in case you have.

Or you look for a cheap place︆ to change btc-usdt and then again usdt-btc and ship it to the client when you︇ got the cash. This 2x exchange can eat into margin, so might not be worth︈ bothering at all.
