Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I agree, the problem now is fiat transfers to exchanges and whether the exchanges can cope: BTCe has a dubious record; Gox is a nightmare all round; Stamp has failed this week; no volume on Coinmkt. The list goes on - its the fiat interface that hampers crypto adoption.

Indeed. I'm trying to get money into bitcoin RIGHT NOW, and I just can't do it. And that's with me having a verified account at Gox and Coinbase. No coins, or 7-10 day international wire transfer? Hmmm. Well this blows.

this can't be true...

oh your saying the 7 day wait is too much for you?

then you don't really want to put more money in....

What are other people doing? Am I missing an obvious option? Yeah 7 days a little discomforting for a couple reasons. I think bitcoin could shoot up in that timeframe, and then I'd rather have the dollars for the interim.... which would be trapped in Gox. Secondly, Coinbase is supposed to restock in less time than that, and I know I can get a better price there.... just no guarantee that I can get in line fast enough to get any coins.
