Local Bitcoin - develop a relationship with a good person in your area.

Advantages: - get bitcoin same day - uncle sam not tracking your every move - you are supporting local bitcoiners and the bitcoin economy. Some people just sell bitcoin all day on localbitcoin for a living to provide the service for others.

Also bitpay card is a good tool to have as a steemer good thing you ordered. Better than Coinbase Shift card.

Gemni is also great, better than coinbase. I left coinbase in 2015.

ill definitely check out local bitcoin, i need a better solution.

Coinbase turned me into this today.

bitcoin also has made me to just watch the coins which i purchased yesterday.hope bitcoin will be great again

Looks like we share commonality today!

Was infuriating!

Pending pending pending. Everything I've done today on coinbase is STILL PENDING. very frustrating.

This is a bad sign, just like MtGox, I pray they are not staging a disappearing act with your coins.

When Coinbase is down, 9 times outta 10 you can still access your Coinbase accounts via their exchange on GDAX.

oh nice thank you for that information!

Ive been on GDAX all day with no problems at all.

I didn't know about the GDAX, but i was only able to get on about 3 to 4 hours ago with my pc or phone app, strange indeed.

Wait, when did this happen? I was able to buy and sell on Coinbase around 8 hours ago. If this happened to me, I would so angry. I think things like this is my biggest worry about the exchanges.

THANK YOU AND I ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM COINBASE

keep most of your coins offline bro! paper wallets or HW wallets are the best! we never know when this online exchanges and wallets go down! recently with all the ETH blockchain problems, due to the crazy amount of ICO's coming out, I move to those options definitely! so be safe ;) peace!

This has been a rough few days for alot of us indeed, hang in there man!

Will do brother!

Yup ... and it is slowing down transactions ... Will be going to put your money into trade after 3 days.

The only issues i have had with coinbase slow buy transactions is when i try to buy bitcoin, but i believe they are definitely having issues.

I'm doing the same with my money on polo. Slowly transferring it into wallets. But at the same time, it seems like lately wallets have had more problems with hacking than the exchanges. Plus it's inconvenient to have a wallet for every currency. I feel you though. It feels sketch having it on an exchange that could randomly fold one day.

Its time we get an ultimate solution! All these icos coming day in and day out and nobody can come up with a seriously darn good wallet system that isn't compromised... smh

Coinbase and Poloniex seem to be running into mad problems lately.

Yep i'm noticing that too!

I just transferred some ether from coinbase. I was actually surprised on how quick it was.

It finally started working when i got off work, but i was trying to get on since this morning with no luck.

Just watched you video man #steemon , all exchanges scare me not just coinbase

Exchanges are scary for sure!

Especially when you send money and it takes like 20 minutes to go through. The stress of loosing it is killer.

Heck ya, because you know how hard that profit came to be and fear of loosing it is killer indeed.

The great lesson here is don't leave a bunch of coins in your exchange wallets. Transfer all your gains as quickly as possible to a safe wallet.

Yes very true statement.

Im putting all my coins on paper wallets off of coinbase. coinbase is a pain. Ive been looking at gemini , Any body know how it is?

Gemini seems good, just seems to take about a week for you to be verified.
