Title: I just bought another bitcoin at £176.50 Post by: bear1981 on April 09, 2013, 04:42:27 PM I know I paid way above market but I've used localbitcoins numerous times with no prob and it was a really quick transfer again.
Just thought I'd do it and see what happens. It doesn't feel right when I paid so little for my other purchases but at this rate we could be at $500-$1000 within a few months and the chances of buying at this price could be gone?! Plus it will be funny for you guys to laugh at me if it plummets in the next few hours lol :P Title: Re: I just bought another bitcoin at £176.50 Post by: Aztec on April 09, 2013, 04:45:26 PM Hope it pays off for you. It's bad news that we cant buy them from an exchange in the UK.
Title: Re: I just bought another bitcoin at £176.50 Post by: bear1981 on April 09, 2013, 04:47:36 PM Google "local bitcoins"
You can buy anywhere in the world as it's a virtual online currency. Title: Re: I just bought another bitcoin at £176.50 Post by: Aztec on April 09, 2013, 05:04:48 PM Yes I've seen local bitcoin. I was chatting to a couple of members from here who sell coins from there. Unfortunately for me I have no funds to buy bitcoins at the moment and by the time I do, who knows what the price will be.

There is no minimum order, even if you just buy £20 worth it is possible. You don't have to buy whole bitcoins. You can buy £1 worth if you like!

Yes I know, that is certainly an advantage of buying bitcoins. I'm between jobs at the moment and have zero disposable income. I'm waiting on the sale of some gear that I haven't used in a long time and as soon as it sells I'll be joining in. However, I might take a punt on buying mainly litecoins. Title: Re: I just bought another bitcoin at £176.50 Post by: bear1981 on April 09, 2013, 05:16:18 PM I understand, hopefully you get it sold.
Where can you buy Litecoins? I keep looking but it always takes me back to Bitcoins Title: Re: I just bought another bitcoin at £176.50 Post by: Foofighter on April 09, 2013, 05:54:09 PM you can get litecoins @ btc-e.com
