Hey guys, Coinbase just added the ability for people to buy up to 1btc/week instantly without doing the 30 day wait. I just tried it for 0.50 BTC and I got it instantly in my coinbase account.
Part of our goal at Coinbase is to make acquiring Bitcoin as easy as possible. Since August, weve had an instant-buy feature available to users who have made a purchase and been with us for 30 days.
Starting today, all new Coinbase users can acquire a small amount of bitcoin (just 1) without the 30-day wait period provided they meet the rest of the required verifications (verifying their ID and adding a backup credit card).

With this change, a bitcoin newbie can acquire their first bitcoin in the time it takes to link and verify their payment methods - 10 minutes or less.
Check it out and try buying some bitcoin instantly!
And while youre at it, let your friends know that they too can get their first bitcoin in a matter of minutes. If you use our referral options, both you and your friend will get $5 of Bitcoin!
If you don't have a coinbase account yet, feel free to use my referral link and we both get a $5 bonus once you buy atleast 1 Bitcoin:
