ETH question

in #crypto7 years ago

I am learning to invest in coins. I bought Litecoin a month ago and tripled my money. Beginners luck. But the whole transactions went very quickly.
This week I bought a small percentage of Etherium. The bank transfer was fast, but now my Etherium is stuck in transit for 9 days. Why will it take 9 days? and will I be getting it for the price I bought it for or the price it is the day it "arrives"? It has gone up significantly in the last 2 days. I am so confused. I am using coinbase to load USD into the market. If you can explain or need more info PLEASE respond. I want to understand, but 9 days? to buy

Sort:  

Ethereum transactions have been really backed up lately because of increased volumes. They are working on scaling solutions. 9 days seems like a bit of a long time, but I would expect it to take longer than usual. I know this isn't too useful, but I wouldn't get too worried about it yet... sorry.

Just makes me feel like I'm swimming upstream. I was going to turn around and use the Eth to buy some doge. Who knows what I'll want to buy in 9 days. LOL I'm learning with every transaction.
