Title: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin. Post by: twolifeinexile on April 08, 2013, 05:01:01 PM Probably that is why it is skyrocketing non stop. I just want to buy back some BTC that I may lose due to instawallet (still hoping to claim them back) , MtGox takes 4days for dwalla, OTC ask 3~5% premium, coinbase is running out of inventory.
In this environment, how someone even call it a top? (Maybe just because of this "frenzy"?) Title: Re: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin. Post by: opsd1 on April 08, 2013, 05:23:21 PM The exchange I use took only a couple of hours for my bank deposit to show up in my trading account about three weeks ago. Today they announced that due to increased interest, deposits will take about three days to go through. So there is a lot more money coming into bitcoin shortly.

In this environment, how someone even call it a top? (Maybe just because of this "frenzy"?) My credit union is integrated with Dwolla...my funds are there in less than an hour. Guess I'm just lucky?

I would be suspicious if there wasn't some pretty strict limits in place. Title: Re: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin. Post by: Crazy on April 08, 2013, 05:50:46 PM I thought Paypal wasn't allowed to be used in connection with this sort of thing.

I would be suspicious if there wasn't some pretty strict limits in place. I'm not certain, but I believe they impose strict limits, verification requirements (AML) and hefty fees. Title: Re: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin. Post by: randrace on April 08, 2013, 06:08:55 PM For me (I'm in the US), the quickest way to get BTC is through bitfloor via cash deposit in a LocalTill bank account at BofA. It is risky, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=152342.msg1626023#msg1626023) however.

At first you deposit USD or EUR from paypal and with that you buy SLL (Second life lindens) and with those you buy BTC. It's like scratching your left ear with right hand, but it's quick. (And expensive on fees) Title: Re: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin. Post by: ehoffman on April 08, 2013, 08:17:22 PM Still less expensive than buying them in Canada with Virtex... For example, you currently have to pay then 206~210$ (Price is now 190$ on Gox). If you can transfer to BTCe, it's 175$ there!

Post by: Elwar on April 08, 2013, 09:11:27 PM Is there a central location that explains the steps it takes to convert your dollars to bitcoins for the different exchanges?
That would be helpful. Title: Re: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin. Post by: johnyj on April 08, 2013, 09:18:48 PM There are about 2.8 billion newly created USD every day entering financial system, if they all chase that 3600 coins per day, each coin ends up worth $77777.8
And that is only US, if you combine the out put of China, Japan, Euro area... Title: Re: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin.

US dollar is backed by US Debt.And that is only US, if you combine the out put of China, Japan, Euro area... US Debt is backed by US Tax, US Assets, US Gov's words. They are problematics, but not means nothing. Title: Re: It is so F*king hard to buy bitcoin. Post by: Anon136 on April 08, 2013, 09:25:14 PM Virwox takes PayPal - instant deposit.
