why is it so hard to purchase bitcoins?

Ok, I think I've overcomplicated things here, so I'll try to make this as streamlined as possible:

1. To minimize my risk a little, I'll send a very accredited and trustworthy member here two bitcoin installments of $250.
2. You will deposit $250 into two paypal accounts. I will send off the second $250 bitcoin payment when your first payment has been verified.

Boom, problem solved. (And really, the only person risking anything here is me.) You're not going to find a better deal than that, especially in Afghanistan.

I suppose to entice such a member here, your "fee" will be $25 that will be given to that member for taking part. $525 worth of Afghan Afghanis for $500 worth of bitcoins still isn't bad.

sorry for taking so long im trying to find a middle man right now.

No problem man, this is pretty crazy trying to work out! Moneygram is actually fine with me, so long as you pay the 3% service fee it would take to deposit it into my paypal account.

John K said he can be our escrow to complete this deal. Are you able to PM yet?

[bradyboy]

Yes I can PM you. Glad we could work this out, I'll send John the $250 right now. The other $250 will take a few hours to collect, as I need to raid some other accounts of mine first.

The main reason it is is challenging to get bitcoins is so that they can serve their purpose better and keep it anoynoums also they don't want it to be so easy as to where every idiot in town will be able to convert all there dollars to bitcoins as this would draw to much attention from the government leading to a shutdown. That's just my opinion though.

Not meaning to hijack, but I'd like to buy 3.25 - 3.5 BTC through a trusted intermediary and pay from my PayPal account. Thanks.

To be honest im stuck with payments, the only thing i can do is the big no no's (paypal, CC) I do have a moneygram account but seeing as im a noobie i cannot post outside of this section in the forums nor can I pm. I w
