Over 6,400 people in line for Mt. Gox accounts as of tonight...

[BTCINVESTOR]

Two investor collegues of mine tonight (3/29/13), wanting to get in on Bitcoin, are in line for Mt. Gox accounts.

One of them is #4,250.
The other is #6,435.

It takes the average person in the USA several days, if not over a week, to get a sizable amount of USD changed into BTC. If you live in Europe, particularly smaller nations, it will likely take closer to 2 weeks, particularly if most people are new to the idea. Today is day 10 since the Cyprus run was announced. Fasten your seatbelts fellow miners. ;^]

Addendum: I have no idea why but Coinbase has not been selling BTC for about 5 days to my reconing. I have tried to buy every day multiple times per day, but I get the 24 hour limit message. Has anyone been able to successfully buy (from Coinbase) in the last 5 days? Any news on their status? It must be hard for them to lose all the business.
