I've only bought bit coin a few times using a Bitcoin ATM machine, I bought it with cash using my Blockchain account.
However, this time I bought bitcoin using my debit card (visa) with the web version of my Blockchain account.
It shows "Buy Completed" on the bitcoin dashboard and if I click on the 'View details' of the transaction it shows "Trade complete", but my Bitcoin balance still shows 0.00 BTC
I did notice the BTC balance flicker a few times last night but it always went back to zero.
I also found that the Blockchain app on my iPhone does not show this transaction and its balance is also zero (same account).
I checked my bank which the debit card is registered to and there is a pending transaction for the transaction to buy these bitcoins.
When I used the ATM machine I experienced having to wait for the transaction to be confirmed, but for this debit card transaction there is no mention of confirmation, it just states "Buy Completed" and "Trade complete".
I received an email from
notify@wallet-tx.blockchain.com saying...
"THANK YOU
Your BTC is Now Available
Hi there,
Thanks for placing your order. We've received your funds and are happy to confirm you now have xxxxxxx BTC available in your Wallet."So why isn't my BTC balance showing these bit coins which I bought 24 hours ago ? And why hasn't the app on my phone got any record of the transaction ?
I have very little experience with Bitcoin so I'm worried about loosing money.
