[ExI] Bitcoin experience

So, I finally went ahead and tried to buy a bitcoin (and to think that
I first read about bitcoins when they were less than 10$ apiece, and
the blogger was saying "It's either going to get big, or fail
completely, so buy some and see what happens, at worst you lose a few
bucks"). I set up an account at coinbase, bought one bitcoin and ...
four days later received an email saying "We decided to cancel your
transaction, since it appears to be high-risk. You may try again in a
few weeks". I used Tor to connect to coinbase.org, but otherwise
disclosed my regular email account, linked a US bank account, verified
my identity - so what's wrong? Tor? Did anybody here have a similar
experience?
