Title: Best/fastest way to get USD into MtGox?
Post by: marhjan on January 31, 2013, 02:53:09 PM
Ok - I'm relatively bearish on btc in the short to medium term, but long term bullish.  Bottom line, I want to move a few hundred USD into MtGox so I'm ready to buy when the crash I believe is coming occurs.  I have/used to have Dwolla account to do this (2011-early 2012) but the requirements have changed quite a bit since the last time I added money to Gox.  I have bought and sold quite a bit of btc during the original June 2011 bubble, but liquidated most of my holdings around August 2012 to concentrate on other things.  Is there a quick and simple way to move ~$350USD into MtGox where I won't get scammed or be accused of scamming someone else?  I'm guessing no - but it can't hurt to ask here.   I'm willing to buy some btc and then just sell them on Gox to get USD in that way - but it seems rather inefficient.  Thanks in advance ;-)

I use BitInstant periodically if theres a knot in the Bank-Dwolla-Gox pipeline, and its extremely fast and pretty cheap.  The service fee is typically $4 over, but i've never had a problem.  If you can get to a Walmart or CVS you can have money in your Mt. Gox account in about 30 minutes.
