Yes, but the rest of the world isn't. Financial companies still must comply with laws (tax evasion, money laundering, etc) regardless if they're going dollars to euros or dollars to bitcoins. Much of the current hype around bitcoins comes specifically from recent comments regarding regulation of bitcoin transactions.
Also, you want to buy because the price recently spiked? That's rarely a good idea (whether in stocks, real estate or bitcoins).
- antocv 13y agoSo basically there is no good way to get bitcoins without revealing ones identity right now? Since mining is not quite possible?
- lSiWsPmgNeXEXOZ 13y agoYes and no. Unless it is illegal to buy Bitcoins in your country/state/city/area/etc. then buying Bitcoins is fine. Coinbase and the like are more or less established businesses now. If you intend on using them for things that you wouldn't want traced back to you, there are quite a few Bitcoin tumblers/launderies/what-have-you. Once they come out the other side, you have plausible deniablity.
- larosh 13y agoAfter you've got some bitcoins in your wallet you can use a special bitcoin laundry service, which completely destroys connection between you and your coins.
