Bitcoin breaks $200
I tried to buy bitcoins when they were $60. I look for sites that would sell me bitcoins for USD. It was so hard and the ways to buy them were so damn complicated. I had to sign up for a 3rd party site to import bitcoin to mtgox. The 3rd party site needed me to upload my personal identity information to verify my bank account. I was ready to do that as well, except they said it'd take 10+ days to verify. Also someone explain to me how that is anonymous when they have all my information if I had uploaded my driver's license and my bank account information.<p>I got frustrated and just stopped looking to buy bitcoins. I was aware of irc channels too but I just don't trust them.
And then there was money gram, what the actual fuck, the fees were so high.
I could buy them, if I send my money to an account in a foreign bank in japan. Such bullshit. 
And this fluctuating price isn't very impressive either.
