You just can't get the CryptoCurrency nowadays!!

[CryptoDevice]

Has anyone else notoed that it's just impossible to buy crypto coins!

I mean to get the Fiat Currency from your bank into an ACTUAL coin is damn near impossible.


I remember the last time i tried to buy a litecoin, i sat at my desk trying to transfer money from my barclays mobile banking app, then needed to go online to transfer it since the exchange wasn't in my payee list, then had to use my mobile again to verify it.

All in all I think I spent 45 minutes just trying to buy the things. in which time the price had skyrocketed and I ended up paying an extra £15 overall.

Combine that with the fact that I lost 45 minutes of my valuable time (if I do say so myself) I was down quite a bit!


Any other horror stories out there while we're killing time?

I've never tried to buy altcoins, but coinbase linked to a checking account works for me for BTC. If I had a Visa credit card, I'd be able to buy a decent amount instantly.

If you are Dutch the process is very simple, either go to http://www.happycoins.nl/ or https://bitonic.nl/ and pay through iDeal. Not sure about other countries, but here is a list which should help https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_Bitcoins_%28the_newbie_version%29

i'm using coinbase but they undervalue BTC!

current buy price is 779.06 on CB
mtgox the avg is 849



CB gets you in the exchange
