Does Circle not sell bitcoins anymore? (self.Bitcoin)

Ayepuds が 投稿

I've been trying to buy some of my first bitcoin from circle. But I can't tell if they sell bitcoin. I added a debit card but the only option is to add money to my account. Can I purchase bitcoins after adding the money to my circle account? Edit: I deposited 1 dollar into my account to test, but there still isn't any option to buy any bitcoin. Am I missing something?

If you look in the settings where it says Currency you should see though currency you're working with. If it says US Dollars it's that. If it says Bitcoin it's that. When you deposit money it's covered to whichever currency your Circle account uses. If someone were to send you Pounds it would be converted to whichever currency your Circle account uses. Just make sure it says Bitcoin.

It's actually much simpler than any of the suggestions on the posts below.

Since our USD launch, customers can just spend USD straight into any btc address. So you never actually 'buy' bitcoin, you just send USD value into a btc address (at circle's rate) with no fees (using debit card or linked bank account).

Here's the new user flow:

  • Get the app and create your account
  • Click 'Send' and type an amount
  • The app will prompt you to link your debit card
  • In the 'To:' field of your money message just paste or scan a btc address
  • Type your message and confirm.

That just instantly spends $'s from your debit card to a btc address.

Hope that helps clarify. We're going to polish the send UX to make it clearly that you can just spend $'s to a bitcoin address.

So is this basically your euphemistic way to move away from being a full reserve bank to just buying bitcoin on demand?

You need to go to your settings and change the currency type to Bitcoin.

I think that after you add money to the account it takes 3–5 business days to get it back.

What do you mean by get it back? I deposited 1 dollar to test but I still can't find where to buy the actual bitcoins

To get the money back into your bank account/onto your card takes 3–5 business days.

I would just buy on Coinbase, circle may get out of the bitcoin space at some point.

They've stated quite strongly that they won't do that:

GTFO! As someone that has met Jeremy on numerous occasions, this guy gets Bitcoin. He's also savvy enough to realise that the general public don't get Bitcoin. Jeremy and circle have done more for Bitcoin than any other company in the space and I'm tired of people trying to take shots at them.

It's time they got the credit they deserved from our community.

The Bitcoin purchasing experience from circle is as painless and intuitive as it could possibly be.
