I'm new to bitcoin. I setup my account and I'm using coinbase as my wallet.
I thought I'd test it out by adding $25 to my "Cash" account. I added the $25 over the weekend and it still has not cleared to my coinbase account.
My question is when buying bitcoins, using your bank account, how long does it take to clear? If I'm making a purchase and someone sends me their address does it then take a week for me to purchase the bitcoins and send it to that person?? I guess I thought it was immediate.
And how safe is it when you have your bank account linked and other personal information stored on your account?
