It's a terrible time to buy. Too volatile.

You think that $595 per coin is a good time to buy?

It wants me to connect to my bank account. wtf? is that normal?
Id much rather create a dummy account with my bank or another bank or something, so not all my life funds are connected to some bit coin site

Yeah. Find a BTC wallet that's anonymous/no bank account. You can't BUY BTC through them, but you can buy it on localbitcoins.com or a few other sites and have them sent to your wallet.

Dude. It appears that coinbase has scammed me $6000. They delayed the receive date from NOV 22 to NOV 26, and after some reading others have never received their payments.
Im going to the bank tomorrow to see if I can reverse this, if not, I feel you're partially responsible

I think I got ripped off too. Although a comment about where I bought mine from said they eventually got their bitcoins. It's way past the time indicated on the website though. No response to my email either.

You absolutely did not spend $6,000 on BTC. Few people here have that kind of money to throw around for the shit of it. That's just a downright lie.

Fuck! I had bitcoins when they were $100 each... now they're at $800
I used VirWox, best and one of the only options if you want to use PayPal or Credit Cards

That's definitely not true. I usually have near that amount to throw around, however I don't use it on bitcoins.. I have though, so it is certainly possible and doesn't make someone a liar for saying they have.
However, I will admit in this case it is bullshit.

$6000? Why would you buy so many for the first time? I hope it all works out

I thought that most people bought them because they are a currency and can be used to purchase things.

Same way you buy them. Go on any exchange and sell them.

I think transactions for U.S. customers are highly restrictive on the exchanges. For example, OKPay says something like they're unable to accommodate U.S. customers. Payeer has no U.S. option on the country drop-down list when you sign up. (These are two of the payment systems used by exchanges.)

2 days until I receive my 10 BTC... I wish I had them because I would have already tried to sell before a small crash, and re-buy lower. I'm pretty confident I haven't been scammed, and I'm already starting to be happy that I've probably profited at least $2k so far 
I have been using Coinbase, it has a 1% fee; can anyone recommend me a trustworthy site without a 1% fee? Or a good site in general
Also, I just found out about the upcoming "paypal galactic". I'll be sure to sell my stocks before that comes out.
@Magicman I used to play a game called Runescape for like 8 years, and I would buy/sell stocks (of real money value) a lot so I have some experience
