Title: Why so impossible to Purchase BTC anymore?
Post by: Ace5high on February 22, 2014, 07:59:03 AM
been a little while since Ive actually paid for btc but trying to get back into some trading etc... except I have nothing to start with and been trying to find a safe way for small purchase.. Been through the old dwolla nightmare, and localcoins I don't have time for.. Used to be  a few good services accepted Credit Cards and verified quick but now they have all stopped service to US only ( no idea why no one will respond of course)...

Anyone know where small amounts can be purchased online only, with a typical payment method ie CC, Bank account, PayPal, Dwolla, etc... Everyone is so damn fraud paranoid seems no one is taking advantage of a huge opportunity to just sell some damn coins while taking secure measures in doing so...

How about using coinbase.com? I've never had a problem with them.

It's impossible to sell because people can't make profit of selling it now if they purchased for higher price, that's the real problem. Or the other mystery is, they are waiting for the right them and they will sell it.

I think people will start selling when it goes to 800 USD+

Did you tried localbitcoins.com? You can buy bitcoins with cash locally.

SR is probably the last place you should try given that SR itself is insolvent and the precedent for people selling BTC on SR being arrested for money laundering has already been set.

The grapevines says that BTC will reach 10k+ by end of the year. People already offering between 3000-13000 for them in localized areas. By "people" i mean "insiders" who won't do what your first response is for obvious reasons (coinbase.com requires personal info).

You watch and see.

^^the guy above me understands most of the picture. It's got to do with when Bitcoin ATMs go online. Even in the crazy chance it ends up failing, insiders are trading with such speculation that their aggression will outway the real risk when the "dice of success" are rolled.
