Romo I was exactly where you are a few months back. Here are the steps to follow to get BTC.
1. Get your ID and you smartphone
2. Go to coinbase
3. Upload the requested documentation (picture of you holding your id)
4. Create your account
5. KEY STEP: Make VERY sure your name matches your ID exactly
6. Link bank account
7. Link debit card
8. Fund both
9. Wait (10 days to transfer from checking (the first time) and 7 days after that (up to $250/week). Debit card is instantaneous (but it's a $50 limit/week)
10. Do this over time. Limits will increas
11. KEY STEP: When buying from a vendor do NOT send directly from Coinbase you will get banned.
12 Key Step: Send from Coinbase to another site (like "Blockchain" or even "Trezor") Both work. THEN send BTC to whomever from one of those two.
13. Keep an alternate funding method (other than Coinbase) so you don't have start over if something goes wrong. I think Gemini is another one folks use.
Lastly know this; it's a process, but once set up, it's smooth. It's secure and it gets a lot easier. You just have to hold your breath and take the plunge because this is the future.[/QUOTE
Thanks for this post, I wanted to learn myself. Appreciate it
Just curious, using that method is it possible to trace who sent the funds or is it anonymous in the end? Seems like you could trace it.
