Im assuming your using
https://www.coinbase.com in that case.
Coinbase probably is the way to go.
Paxful I need to open a trade and wait for someone to accept my terms and then send money to me via western union, gift card, paypal, etc. The whole process is very time consuming but it is untraceable for the most part. (Hence why bitcoin is mainly used for illicit transactions.)
Seems unlikely bitcoin will ever reach the same status as the USD or EURO. Governments around the world will never allow something like bitcoin to replace the current system.
If and when bitcoin starts being regulated I'm fairly confident it will lose most of its value.
