Still can't buy. ;_;

Yeah coinbase is super fucked up because of all the traffic. I still can't verify my ID which means I can't sell. I wasn't planning on selling anytime soon, because like the above poster said, I'm just watching out of sheer curiosity. But I can imagine people were super angry when it shot up to 19.5k yesterday and couldn't sell because of how messed up coinbase is.

buy.bitcoin.com was back up this morning, but when I went to buy with a new credit card it failed again. The payment went through on my end as I got confirmation they put a hold on the amount I tried to buy, but they didn't authorize it on their end for some reason and they have a strict "we won't tell you why" policy. So now I'm locked out of those funds for a couple days and still don't have any bitcoin.

I'm super pissed about all this. Coinbase with direct debit might be my only option, but I'm hesitant about giving them my ID and more than that I'm not happy with the long trade delay (4-5 days) that direct debit has. Yeah they lock in the price at time of purchase, but then I can't trade it for other currencies or markets for several days at which point the opportunity is lost. Prime example: IOTA was $2.50 on Monday, then shot up to $5.50 on Tuesday. After that spike it dropped back down to the $3 range, but each day it'd climb into the $4 range in the day before dropping again each night. From what I observed it was a great opportunity to buy low and sell high, but I couldn't get in on any of it because I can't get a payment to authorize. If my first attempt was going through coinbase with direct debit I'd only just now be getting my bitcoin, but now IOTA has stabilized and climbing steadily again. Opportunity lost.

I just want it to work, that really shouldn't be too much to ask for.
