Hi
After ignoring Bitcoin for YEARS, I decided on Saturday I couldn't leave my head stuck in the sand any longer... it was time to buy my first Bitcoin!
Saturday: Bootycall happened. Delayed 1 day. Bitcoin price UP.
Sunday: As a newbie headed straight to Coinbase. 4% fee?! Nah thanks. Researched. Discovered Revolut and Bitstamp = awesome! Verification in process. Delayed 1 day. Bitcoin price UP
Monday: All verified. Small test amount SEPA transfer to Bitstamp. Delayed 1 day. Bitcoin price UP at all time HIGH!
Tuesday: Found out Bitstamp's bankers are on holiday with they feet up watching the money roll in. Deposits won't be processed until Thursday! Delayed 1 day. Bitcoin price UP at all time high... AGAIN!
Wednesday: Backup plan... Kraken to the rescue! No time to lose, transfer everything including my soul via Revolut SEPA. 30 minutes later I read official statement that Kraken blocks payments from Revolut?! What..... the ........

!!! Now funds could be stuck for 10 days whilst the price of Bitcoin continues to raise to infinity to beyond!
Thursday (prediction): Get hit by a bus and get stuck in purgatory as I don't have any Bitcoin in which to bride my way in to the golden gates!! Bitcoin price UP at all time high again of course.
The end.
