I've used coinbase (because it's hassle free compared to many). Isn't there a transaction cap of like $250 with coinbase or something anyway, even with a bank verified account? Who makes an international order for $500 or less? Not I, that's for sure. The caps make it shitty for large orders.
Also, for those thinking bitcoin is so secure and anonymous and whatnot, it's only as secure as the exchange/source you're going through. There are really fairly anonymous ones and also super mainstream ones trying to be as legit and consumer friendly as possible (the largest being coinbase). My roommate from law school works for the coinbase startup assisting with compliance/fraud. They picked him up from Goldman where he reviewed/audited regular transactions for fraud/laundering etc. He gets paid dick and his stock options are worthless unless they get gobbled up by a purchaser. Coinbase (and btc in general) is not that fucking secure for illegal activity. Large misconception out there. It can be done right but most of you meatheads aren't doing that. Coinbase regularly killed accounts or reported activity to LE for silk road related activity before it went tits up. They play ball with gov agencies and report accounts to LE. They want to be the next PayPal with bitcoin. You don't get their being associated with seedy illegal transactions.
Just because it's bitcoin doesn't mean it's safe. WU is safer than coinbase imo, lol. Less chance of activity being audited. Sometimes the old fashioned is better (i.e. less chance/more difficulty in a copper landline being monitored than a wireless call). It's not anonymous at all. The block chain is highly traceable. Exchanges and wallets in the same place mean linkage. Nobody is coming after your little milk money personal use orders anyway, but if you're using btc to move sizable raws stateside you better fucking understand bitcoin top to bottom. I recommend the below reading first.
Research using bitcoin properly before you go getting a big old cyber dick, kids. (Airbitz on Android for starters)
