Thread: This might be a dumb question

Okay I'm all set up on coinbase and blockchain. I bought $450 worth of bitcoin a few.days ago. It hasn't shown up in my account yet. It says could take up to a week. It keeps dropping so will my $450 turn into like $400 before it even gets to me or what?


Does it take like a week every time you buy some. Do you guys keep enough on hand ready to go so when you order you can pay or do sources understand that it's gonna take a few.days before you can send the bitcoin?

I got into bitcoin when you could take a credit card and (after a simple verification) purchase Bitcoin that showed up as soon as you pressed purchase, so I've never seen a lag in funds not being there. For me it has always been instantly available. Having said that I've never used my bank account to transfer funds over to Coinbase. You didn't mention how you purchased but if it was through your bank I think a phone call to them is already past due if the funds haven't shown up already- Just for your own piece of mind. As AngieNY said, Most major credit cards are not allowing bitcoin purchases anymore.

For the other part about market/price fluctuations, Welcome to the world of investing buddy. Last year you could get a Bitcoin for less than a $1,000, and two years ago less than $500. If you ever get access to Dr Brown's DeLorean time machine go back to 2012 where you could buy a Bitcoin for $4.00 and and then go sell em in Dec of last year (2017) when it was over $15,000 for one coin.

As Angie said it should be instant.
Before I was banned from coinbase my little small town peckerwood bank literally had to disable my account card security for 24 hours so I could purchase.

Every time the idiots would say "Are you sure this isn't a scam? Its going to the UK and that's almost always a scam..."

Then my dick mode would turn on and I would say "Look honey, there are millions of things you can buy from the UK offline that aren't a scam... Its a big world outside the trailer park."

"Uuuugh! Fine but we aren't liable for losses when your card security is disabled."

Once you have your blockchain account in order and have done this a couple of times, look for a small store owner willing to deal bitcoin cash in person. It is much more discreet and you can have it sent straight to your wallet without third party hassle from the bank or coinbase.

I say "store owner" because when dealing cash in person you want someone maintaining a reputation and not a moron with nothing to lose.

My guy owns a coin store and just so happens to be a bitcoin guy. He is perfect. He is straight up, no questions, get it done.

He gets a 10% cut and does not care about anything else.

Mine too. My first transaction went through without a hitch. The second was a three hour process. Middlemen duck everything up.
