Seems the rules say this is unnecessary, but I'm still restricted. Would like not to be. Thanks.

I've used coinbase for a few months now and haven't had any problems. I do buy through them and keep a small amount there, and transfer the rest to other wallets so I feel more secure.

Thanks for the heads up on these guys. I had considered an order but certainly will not now.

Speculation about this will get you nowhere. I think we all believe the value will increase, but we'd also all be better off by using Bitcoin as a currency rather than just an investment.
