#2First: interesting company and concept. I would love to see this go further, will be keeping my eye on it.
Second: who's idea was it to implement that wretched parallax effect on their homepage? Not only is it a tawdry but it gives me vertigo which is usually a rare experience on the modern web and has thus-far created a very negative experience for me. I stopped looking at the homepage and just read the wikipedia article on the company instead so my eyes wouldn't hurt.

#6This homepage is fucking terrible. HOW CAN I USE YOUR PRODUCT? What do I need? Credit card? Bitcoin address? Fiat bank account? PayPal?
Is it a joke? "We believe in intuitive design and excellent customer support"! A design so intuitive I have no fucking idea what the hell is going on. Oh but you have some big depth of field photos of hot 19 year old girls on a beach. Brilliant.
Just tell me in 1 sentence what you do. And it should be in the damn h1 tag. As it is it's not on the site at all.

I just tried it out with a credit card issued by a European Bank and it works flawlessly. Very painless process to buy bitcoins instantly.

Unfortunately the parallax effect is choppy on anything but Chrome for me on Mac.

Great! Finally companies will have an incentive to give themselves sensible names.

#10Not a good sign when https://www.circle.com shows up as a blank page.
EDIT: OK, it shows up now. I am still just as unclear on what the product is.
