I know I tried every way I could to make bitcoin work for me but I either hit a roadblock with verification or with my pay card for purchase. What ended up working for me was searching for bitcoin ATMs near me. Turns out they are very accessible. Once I found the closest one it directed me to download a app called LibertyX. The verification process was much faster. Took about 10 minutes. Once that's done you choose the closest ATM and it gives you a simple code to enter at the ATM. After that you just swipe your debit card and choose the amount you wish to purchase and boom it's done. The only other APP you need is blockchain so you have a wallet ID to send the BTC to and a way of donating said BTC to another wallet. Super fast, super easy. If you want to try this method and I didn't explain it well feel free to PM me and I'll walk you through it. Like I said, I tried everything and damn near gave up before I figured this way out.
