Circle announces immediate bitcoin market shutdown, leaves market

http://fortune.com/2016/12/07/circle-blockchain/


I've currently got $95 trapped in my circle wallet because it says u can no longer send to a bitcoin address, anyone know how to get this sent/out? its asking for an email/name.

 

Can't you cash it out to your bank? If you don't have a bank you're going to need to find someone else with a circle account willing to take it, cash it out, and paypal you from their bank, I don't see any other way.

 

This is a literal nightmare, if you have circle balance and nothing linked YOUR FUCKED.

W_T_F circle?

 

Currently have about 200$ trapped in Circle thats practically frozen, this is such bs lmao

 

Good thing that I didn't have any funds locked in at the time.... I guess it's time to just use LocalBitcoins!

 

Have a lot stored there wasn't able to withdraw it all to bank because limits thanks Circle :/

Hopefully will be able to xfer it to another wallet or withdraw in a few days

 

I apparently had $216 on my account at the time, it allowed me to withdraw it over to my wallet without any issue? What am I missing here?

 

Is this even legal?

 

I had my funds locked as well, maybe a few weeks ago. You can't send but I would able to retrieve my funds through my bank.

If anyone needs help retrieving their funds and have dealt with me before, you can try sending it to me over name or email and I can withdraw it for you.

 

Dude I was wondering what happened to circle. I used them earlier in the year to buy an rs account and then I couldn't find their website. That's nuts man

 

whats the best way to insta buy bitcoins now..? Coinbase is like $100/week...

 

I use Coinbase. They will increase your limits after buying X amount or if you provide extra identity information such as photo ID etc.

As far as I know the only instant buy option they have is by using your debit/credit card, which comes with a 3.75% tax. Just be prepared for them the prevent you from selling your bitcoins eventually if they deem you suspicious.
