No, that is not true at all.  there are plenty of ways he could still be robbed.  But the most realistic is that your phone is indeed compromised and you used your account credentials from your phone, so now the hacker has your account login and your 2FA details.  You should scan your phone for a virus to get it clean before another website you use has the same thing happen.

Doesn't necessarily mean it was the app.  Did you have 2FA enabled?  If not, there is no one to blame but yourself.

Basic economics tell us that price should increase if demand stays the same and supply drops.  But, this is bitcoinland and anything is possible.  For the record, I have been buying nonstop with every available penny I can muster.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I am taking tomorrow off so I might pop over and see about opening an account.

Ooh, good question, would make the trifecta of his scamming.

Yea I use Gemini too.  They let you put in $500 daily as a deposit.  I could do a wire to Coinbase or Gemini, but my bank charges $35 to make a wire and Coinbase takes another $10 on a wire.  Any ideas to make that cheaper?

Yea I do use them, but weekly is capped at 3k which isn't enough unfortunately since they have been nothing but great to work with.

I would like in, please give me any ticket at random.

Thanks!

Well, coming up on 4 days and still nothing from Coinbase.  I reached out through live chat (which I am trying to do again but the little live chat button isn't coming up), through email support, and through the community, and haven't heard anything back from them.  Even just asking if I add another bank account will I be able to buy with that.

The price has since jumped over $50 per coin which puts me at a loss of about 1k with the 20 bitcoins or so I am ready to buy.  This is getting ridiculous.

Yea they did do that.  Had my account over drafted 5 times because of it.  But they refunded the money promptly and paid the overdraft fees which was nice.

I have had my account reviewed multiple times, it is just a PITA when it happens and that it keeps happening even though I have always proved I am legitimate and my source of funds.

No one else has experienced this issue?

No no, I wasn't pumping my own horn or anything.  Was just stating facts about my account and looking for others feedback and personal accounts.  So yours was resolved eventually?

Nope, been open for years.  Have done over a half million dollar worth of buy orders in the last 4+ years.  Circle is great, but caps my weekly buy at 3k, which isn't enough unfortunately.

Has anyone had their Bank Account put under review by Coinbase?  I made a purchase about an hour ago and then clicked on make another purchase and it said my bank account was under review.  What has the outcome been if it has happened to you and how long did it take?

Thanks,

I don't see how this could possibly work.  First of all, the main ASIC designers are light years ahead of the game and it would take a group of people with tons of experience to be able to rival them at this point.  On top of that, you could never truly be decentralized as someone would always have to control the funds and how they will be used, so you will always be trusting someone or some group, and investing in ASIC's without them being ready to be shipped has not worked out well in the past for any group.

I am curious about this and have not bought gift cards on these forums before.  Will the cards go bad?  If I buy one, can I save it for months before using and still have the balance there?  It worries me paying a large amount for something I won't be using tomorrow.

One reason that I can conceive that they do not want to pay out is that they are probably earning interest on the hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions that they have on deposit.  Every time a progressive increases, they hit an accrual account to store the money (or at least they should if they are properly accounting for the jackpots).  These are probably invested in low risk investments and with millions of dollars that is not their own, they are making a really good return.  Paying out a few hundred thousand would put a damper on that return.

I think you misunderstand.  I don't care if your a newbie or not, you took pictures and provided information, that is great.  I will not risk my business either way.  Wire Transfers generally aren't overturned anyway, and in order to get them overturned you must request it right away.  So it is basically like sending bitcoin and your asking us to trust you with such amounts.

Did you have it on a surge protector?  Most of the time those offer insurance for your devices.  If they end up being broken you could try that avenue.

I sell bitcoins on localbitcoins and have been hitting some rough times in acquiring bitcoins.  There are times when I have large orders and would like to replenish coins quicker than some of my other options offer.  I will absolutely not send anything first, just want to be upfront about that and make it extremely clear.  I will not jeopardize my business by getting scammed.  That being said, I am interested in finding a partner or two who can move larger sums when needed.  I currently average around 60k moved a month, but am constantly growing.  Orders range from a who hundred to nearly 20k at a time.  The smaller orders I could just use my traditional means, but the larger orders I would like to find another way to take care of replenishing my coins.

Wire Transfers cost around $30 if I am not mistaken?  (I believe I have only ever sent 1, so not totally sure).  Is this a fee your willing to have passed to you?  If not, are there any other payment methods you would accept?
