I missed the sell off, and bought eth with my bank account last week and it is still pending! That’s the first time I’ve used my bank account because of the whole chase credit card denying thing. I am going to buy regardless of the price though because I really do believe in the future of Steemit, it’s nice to see others like you do too!

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!
