            Quick question, apart from Mt Gox where can I buy Bitcoins?

            1) How long does it take to get approved on coinbase.com?
            2) Where else can I get an account quickly to buy Bitcoins?

              Paul, you cannot buy at CB. Coinbase has problems and it's been that way for 3+ weeks

                Cheers for the heads up, much appreciated! Are there any alternatives?

                      my friend suggested Bitfloor, says is good, i'm under way trying to get $ and transactions flowing there

                      ...also BTC-E can buy BTC cheaper, but i hear it's less secure, so if buy there, transfer them out asap

                          For Euro (SEPA) payments I would advise to use www.bitcoin.de
                          Have bought a few times and worked great. Also there is no waiting list like on MtGox. Only a 1 cent deposit will be made to your bank account for verification.

                            Excellent thanks Xato

                            I have no idea when my Mt Gox account will be approved, there are over 10,000 users infront of me in the verification que

                            They posted this on Facebook a couple of days ago

                            As if a major DDoS attack was not enough, we at Mt.Gox are victim of our own success!

                            Last year, Mt.Gox saw an average of 9,000 to 10,000 new accounts created every month. This number doubled in January, tripled in February, and sextupled in March. In this month alone, over 57,000 new accounts were created!

                            Our support and account verification team went from four people in January 2012 to twenty-two people working every day of the week. We are now hiring even more people to solve this problem by finalising some deals with external companies.

                              I sent a payment to bitinstant to buy more bitcoins yesterday at $180 and it still hasn't gone through. First time using bitinstant, not liking service so far...

                                    Not too worried about that. More worried that I lost the entire deposit...

                                        How many bitcoins do you bitboys actually own?

                                        10 - 50?
                                        51 - 100?
                                        101 - 500?
                                        501 - 1000?

                                        Or more?

                                        Who has balls of steel and went big? Lets see some screen shots.

                                          I own one. Actually less. I sent 0.05 to Spiederman a few days ago.

                                            Less than 10 for me these days. I'm converting them all to litecoins I think while they are still cheap. If MTGox adds them to their exchange I think we'll see a huge rise in value on those also.

                                            Back in 2011 I had almost 1000 bitcoins, :|

                                                      If you don't own any yet, then don't buy any right now. They're obviously in a bubble. The way to make money in a market is to buy low sell high, not buy while it's high. Very simply concept that so many seem to forget when trading.

                                                          As a no longer active daytrader that is not completely accurate. You buy near intraday support or when the price breaks a significant resistance. Scalping for small $2-5 per coin differences really adds up when you do it multiple times a day. Just keep an eye and sell at a planned loss of 5% or 10% if your scalp goes south. Don't be a terd and hold it while it circles the drain in hopes it will go back up.

                                                                      As far as I understand it, and granted I haven't looked in to the situation in depth so I could well be wrong, there were nearly 6,000,000 Bitcoins mined before the general public even had a shot at mining any.

                                                                      If that is true, then somebody might well have a large portion or even all of those early coins. At today's prices, that's more than 1.2 BILLION dollars worth. If even a small percentage of that position were to be suddenly liquidated, somebody would be very rich over night and the price per coin would absolutely plummet. A correction on that scale could well destroy market confidence overnight.

                                                                      Of course this is all theoretical, and even if it's true there could still be money to be made in the mean time so long as you know when to get in and out.

You could throw a rock into the water it was so close. The type of place you would retire to and live the rest of your days. The problem was, I didn't have 100k and I didn't try to find it.

                                                                        Last year I happened to run across the same property online. They were selling it again for well over 1 million dollars, along with the other homes for sale in that area for around the same price.

                                                                        *ass kicked*

                                                                          If that is true, then somebody might well have a large portion or even all of those early coins. At today's prices, that's more than 1.2 BILLION dollars worth. If even a small percentage of that position were to be suddenly liquidated, somebody would be very rich over night and the price per coin would absolutely plummet. A correction on that scale could well destroy market confidence overnight.

                                                                          Of course this is all theoretical, and even if it's true there could still be money to be made in the mean time so long as you know when to get in and out.

I should have sold them all like I wanted to but they did not listen. Sold more at 140. I think I will always keep at least ten so I can still talk shit about them. Some still think they will reach 100,000 dollars lol but it will not hurt to keep a few if that did happen even though I think it is funny. I would kill myself if I sold them all and they did go that high haha

                                                                                  close to 70% of my investment. So from yesterday on i am holding on to the coins

The way to make money in a market is to buy low sell high, not buy while it's high. Very simply concept that so many seem to forget when trading.

You could throw a rock into the water it was so close. The type of place you would retire to and live the rest of your days. The problem was, I didn't have 100k and I didn't try to find it.

                                                                                            Last year I happened to run across the same property online. They were selling it again for well over 1 million dollars, along with the other homes for sale in that area for around the same price.

                                                                                            That was one of those "once in a lifetime" things.

                                                                                            So far i produced 1693.86 and sold them all for 4.00 plus each. So i have got back
                                                                                            close to 70% of my investment. So from yesterday on i am holding on to the coins
                                                                                            and hopefully 6-8 months from now they will shoot up to the $40+ range each.

The site was reportedly "hacked" or the owner of the site pulled a scam and ran off with half of the bitcoins. I can't find any information on the amount of bitcoins that were stolen in that incident but you can make some rough calculations, the site housed something like 50,000 accounts and each account had anywhere from 100 to 25,000 bitcoins each. Bruce Wagner was believed to have a part in the scam, he promoted the hell out of the service, he was a big supporter and early adopter of bitcoin so he had a ton of bitcoins to begin with, even had his own little bitcoin show and everything.

                                                                                                There have been scams on SilkRoad also where vendors have achieved 99% positive feedback and became the most reputable vendor on the site (Tony76), then up and vanished after collecting customers bitcoins for a few weeks and not sending the product. The moderators said he had stolen around $250,000 worth of bitcoins.

                                                                                                    ...also BTC-E can buy BTC cheaper, but i hear it's less secure, so if buy there, transfer them out asap
