What stops me from using bitcoins on a daily basis is the speed of a transaction. Nobody wants to wait several minutes to buy a cup of coffee.  Even when I pay for my hosting on a monthly basis with bitcoins, I have to wait sometimes 15 minutes, and it has to rest the checkout process which causes me problems and having to contact their support just to try and get my invoice marked as paid.

Does anyone know of an app that will send my phone an alert if bitcoin decreases in value by a certain percentage?

I am very interested in cryptocurrency investing and am looking to invest in several coins. I would like to be ready for the next drop to buy some crypto coins.

I sent some BTC to get Monero using shapeshift.  I turned on my wallet again and it does not show my monero coins. It has been over 1 hour.

All it says is balance 0.00000000000 and (syncing).

Did I get scammed or whats going on?

I am looking for a coin that you can trade anonymously.  For example not being able to trace who made the transaction.  I am also looking for a coin that trades fast with high security.

Let me know of a good coin please. Looking to invest for long term.
