I have been trying to find a way to buy BTC but ive been on 3 sites where they want $160+

I am predicting a BTC crash, not only is it a pain in the sack to buy them you get gouged by the prices and fees

This seems to be a HUGE hurdle BTC is going to have to get over (getting USD into BTC effectively, anonymously)

it costs something like .000x BTC worth of electricity to generate 1 BTC

I can only assume the only reason BTC maintains ~$140 price is because the majority of coins are held by a few people

BTC has become what it was meant to combat

bring on the flames...

Okay, so because it's hard to buy the value is lower? It's usually the other way around. Demand and supply my friend.

Oh, and the electricity cost is completely and utterly irrelevant in determining the value of a Bitcoin Smiley

Good luck buying Bitcoin though! Don't get discouraged and discover x years later you missed out on a 1000x increase because you had to pay 10% more Wink

I transferred funds from my UK account on Friday to BitStamp in Slovenia.  Email arrived today, Monday, funds have arrived, bought BTC and transferred to my wallet at home.

It did cost about two GBP more per BTC with the transfers, it was convenient, as I do not reside in the UK.

Pretty quick I thought.
