How can I get some BTC quickly?

[wilfra]

I want to buy now, before the price goes back up to $200+. But I don't want to deal with sending money to MtGox or another site and I keep reading they have problems anyway.

Is there a faster way to do it without getting ripped off?

I'd like to pay w/ online poker money if possible (PokerStars or PartyPoker). I could also swap for cash or gold in Central California. I guess PayPal is a no-no but I also have that.

Are you really thinking the price will ever reach again 200 dollars?!!!
People are that stupid?

Huh.


Anyway, you should wait 4 hours, make 5 posts and go to the proper section of the forum for direct transaction.

Hope is probably a better word than think, but yes I think there is a good chance of that. Might take awhile and it's certainly a gamble. But one I'm willing to take.

Any tips on not getting ripped off here doing trades?

Of course it'll reach 200 again.  Bitcoin doesn't even shake a stick at how much USD is sitting around right now.  Heck, even if Bitcoin didn't move anywhere, the dollar's still gonna get weaker over time.
