Circle No Longer Allows Buying & Selling Bitcoin

"Circle is now more than ever not a consumer bitcoin exchange, and we will continue to focus resources on global social payments and future next-generation blockchain technology rather than devoting those resources to supporting the buying and selling of bitcoins directly.

Circle customers who currently hold bitcoin instead of US dollars, pound sterling, or euros may convert instantly to any of those currencies (depending upon availability in the customer's area). Customers who previously bought and sold bitcoin in the Circle apps may still sell, if they choose, by converting their bitcoin to dollars, euros, or sterling and then withdrawing the balance to their linked card or bank account. Once converted, the account will remain in dollars, euros, or sterling.

Consumers who seek to buy and sell bitcoin in the future may now leverage our new preferred partnership with Coinbase. Customers may still send their bitcoin to any wallet or exchange of their choosing, but Coinbase is our recommended consumer bitcoin exchange."

Use our preferred partner, Coinbase, to continue buying and selling bitcoin.

people shouldn't be using circle anyway. linking bitcoins to your social security number is fucking retarded.


[23 Points] King_Zagan:

There's literally no reason to have a circle account anymore...

Bitcoin is what they did well everything else is subpar to other services.

Ah, so they they stopped selling the currency that kept them in business. They're completely fucked now.

[6 Points] optimistic922:

Jesus wasn't circle the only one of its kind? Instantly buy bitcoin with your debit card without paying like a 30% markup fee or waiting 5-7 days

There is no bitcoin gatekeeper.

Effective immediately?


[3 Points] GotMeSomeAlpandMDMA:

From that site I was able to infer that as long as you don't change your currency from btc you can still send money to btc addresses but it'll just skip right over going into the circle wallet.


[2 Points] Yeshuaa:

R u fucking kidding me, my accounts been under review for a week and tomorrow they were finally going to allow me to fucking buy bitcoins. And Coinbase is ass, they're limits are like $100 a week smfh does anyone know any really good and credible bitcoin brokers ?? Kraken? Localbitcoin?


[2 Points] None:

[2 Points] BassNet:

Can you increase your limits with Coinbase? I had a 4 btc limit with circle but with Coinbase it's like $20


[2 Points] DilbertPickles:

Rest in pepperoni


[1 Points] TheLastCig:

Good, she's a bitch and so is Coinbase. Cut me off a long time ago and I've been fine with Cex.io ever since ;)


[1 Points] JburnaDNM:

With this they decided to finally close my account. Never tumbled and I expected it a lot sooner than it happened. My question is how the fuck do I get my money off circle since they closed my account and won't let me cash it out.


[1 Points] Razbonez:

Is there anything like circle? Or did circle have a monopoly on debit card btc purchasing....


[1 Points] JesseisWinning:

They actually shut my circle down last week and "max" sent me an email with no real reason as to why... I guess this is the reason! Now I'm struggling to get coinbase to cooperate and raise my limits!

When are you guys going to work out that Bitcoin is the problem, not the exchanges? The exchanges are just following the law. Can you blame them for not wanting to run afoul of the IRS and DoJ?

We need to move to a truly anonymous currency.

I got a bitcoin atm near me, but 7% fees.. but i do pay to tumble, how much does bitcloak charge? it must be around 7%..
