Ok, so now I am fully able to get a loan. I can't just go spending it right now. I need a way to buy BTC to payback when I do borrow. What are your guys/gals thoughts on Coinbase & others?
Any suggestions?
Edit: I went with coinbase, I'll link my BA to it.

So far AFAIK coinbase haven't any issue. But personal data is required.

yes, some users here have their coinbase accounts closed without being given any legit reasons, which is really annoying!

I had a bank account linked to my Coinbase account, and at some point I closed that bank account but forgot to delete the data from Coinbase. Then I tried to buy a small amount ($3-4 or so) of bitcoin and accidentally chose the dead account as the payment method. Coinbase never actually tried to take funds out as far as I know--nothing bounced--but they just closed my account. Oh well. I never did any gambling and the only thing I ever did with the btc I did buy was to move it around though a few wallets I was playing with. Good luck, OP.

I heard that it is against the TOS of Coinbase to receive and send Bitcoins to a gambling site which I think is unreasonble for now since I see a large number of Bitcoin users get their coins from gambling sites.

Coinbase is stable. But they close account for gambling. (included in their TOS) Blockchain is kinda buggy from time to time but your could use it for whatever you want.

I love blockchain as coinbase ask for lots of personal information which i afraid to give to as i use bitcoin to be anonymous. Only email is enough for blockchain to use all of the function so i love blockchian.info rather than coinbase.

Coinbase all the way for me, been using them for 2 years now and have never had any issues. They've got some pretty cool features too like the "Vault" which allows you to store your Bitcoins offline for added security. Also they are insured and they don't charge transaction fees ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

too much restriction, and i'm using bitcoin, to have some freedom, so i don't like it too much, the good way is that they offer you a simple way to declare your income through their website for IRS
i guess it's good for usa citizens, because they also offer a pretty good insurance, if your funds are lost, for hacking or similar

Coinbase is good, and others like Bit-X and Kraken also give you the opportunity to get your BTC at better rates after getting verified there... I am personally using Bit-X, and can say that they offer the best rates to date...

I am one of those users and that happened to me a year ago but I just realized after a weekI made a mistake which is against their ToS. Its also my bad for not reading their ToS before signing up @OP: coinbase is fine for buying bitcoins, just don't use it for gambling

I often have problem receiving the 2 factor codes on my phone but coinbase also have phone call option and i can place a call and receive the code by call. Simply the best.

I like Coinbase:
-customer service response time is great -friendly customer service -secure (vault has 48 hour waiting period with two person verification -they are US based in SF, a legitimate company -deposits back to USD in bank within 1 day -love the app and love the desktop site
|
I love Bitcoin

Coinbase is most probably owned by government and the one benefit is their reputation,it keeps people satisfied and there is very less chance of them losing their money like cryptsy.But i personally don't like the verifications and the time they require is very long too. coinbase is best online wallet for sure
It's not a wallet.

It's not a wallet. Coinbase offers their uses both a online wallet service and they act as an exchange. I prefer blockchain.info but coinbase.com is a solid number 2. Reliable etc.

I also am one of these people, and you may as well be prepared to fork over your entire life and work history basically as they will ask for it sooner or later. Sure they make it easy to buy Bitcoin, but I consider it a very shady service that goes against all that Bitcoin is supposed to free us from. If you want to have bank-like protections, the nsa watching your coins, and pretty much be told where you can and can't spend your coins, go for it. If you like a bit more financial freedom avoid them like the plague and find an alternative method of buying instead.
