OMG...My first purchase through Coinbase did the same thing to me. My purchase was held up for 9 days and during that time bitcoin tanked. I was stuck holding +40% losses when all I wanted to do was invest in Steem Power. This cost me big time. Do I take the losses, or wait and miss out on the investment I was trying to make. Really wasn't a good move for me. But that's how it goes when you don't know what you're doing, right?! Now I make sure that all purchases will be instantly available. If not, I don't buy it. That was about a $2000 mistake for me. Welcome to crypto!! :-) All I can say is, be here for the long haul and any initial mistakes will be greatly overcome in the years ahead!! Keep on steemin!

The thing is, while I still consider myself a noob, i have been buying with my credit card and paying it off instantly since July! This was the first time I did it the slow way...and let me tell you it feels like ive been waiting for a month! Never ever ever again! lol
😂😂😂 I know the feeling first hand! It’s unfortunate most People’s entry into the site who try to put money in is probably the same!
