So I made my first purchase on Coinbase and it limited me to $500. I verified my ID and my credit card. Is there any other way to get more BTC sooner? I dont want to wait the 3 days or whatever it is.
You could also open an account at Circle.com.
Thanks, just did that. Are Circle and coinbase pretty much the two to stick with?
You could also check out
Gemini and
Coinsetter.
I just shut down my Gemini account. I hope they can get it figured out but in the starting period I'm going to sit it out instead. Got an email from them talking about security issues and having to ramp up a lot of their security measures. Not something they should have shared directly with a customer. They also did not stick to their advertised time frames (deposit, verify, etc.). I'm sure they'll work out the kinks and I'll be back but like I said earlier, going to wait it out.
