I think buying bitcoin from well reputed people "escrows" is the best choice , but you can also use virwox ( which accepts PayPal , though it has limits but it's always good as it's highly secured ) or you even buy BTC from local traders " in Philippines"

If you're doing local cash, use something like localbitcoin. Paypal isn't a good idea because the transactions can be reversed, so a lot of people stray away from it. Another good way to do it electronically is get your identity confirmed on an exchange and purchase btc there.
not even neccessarily cash, you can use bank transfer on localbitcoins as well. A lot less hassle than registering on an exchange.

I am fairly new to this forum and to the bitcoin industry. I am wondering what's the best way to purchase bitcoin, I am from the Philippines. Is PayPal a good way to exchange for bitcoins, or is it too risky for the BTC seller because of PayPal being reversible? Thanks in advance guys.

I think there is a local section dedicated to the Philippines on the forum, if not, then you can just search for it on the internet and get the gathering of like minded individuals. The best way to buy is from individuals who are willing to sell in your own local currency all you will need to do is to transfer the amount to their own local bank account. With this option you will save yourself the high stress and high fee in using those sites in the areas of conversion from your currency to say USD then the fees you have to pay on the platform. In as much as that is an advantage, you also have to ensure you study the people you want to deal with because scammers dont have a particular nationality as they are everywhere looking for someone to dupe.

You can buy Bitcoin with many ways, such as from exchanger and trusted friends but also has risk also. Maybe you know about delay, not valid data transactions and hacker. Even Paypal have bad experience about it and maybe you should use local exchanger & trusted friends. I suggest you try first with little money you have and experience will give you the right answer. Thank you.

Forget about buying bitcoin with paypal, if paypal finds out you are also going to lose your account, since the risk of getting chargebacks is so high many people prefer to not trade at all with paypal and also you are going to get horrible fees, so it is better that you look for another way to get bitcoin.

Noted that, thanks. I'll probably just go for local sellers of bitcoin then.

I'd recommend you to use a trusted Philippines exchange you will be able to buy BTC with you're debit/credit card, if you have no experience in trading BTC or any alt-coins at all that would be the safest option for you to start with I am not sure how much % they sell/buy at that would vary according to the exchange/country you can look up for the most trusted PH exchange.

Regarding wallets, what do you think is the safest wallet. Or do they differ because of what countries they serve and not serve? I have read that coins.ph is the best bet here in the Philippines but they lack a little bit of security.
I am using Jaxx and blockchain, I am sure you can use global wallets they would work just fine make sure to backup your funds and all the required security settings to make your wallet secure.

I have just created an account on blockchain and probably gonna make it my main wallet. Thanks for the help.

You can buy BTC with any payment method, Depends on the seller ..
But the safest way is to always use escrow ..
Hello, may you enlighten me with the word escrow? I am fairly new to everything I don't really know much terms. I know the meaning but how does it work regarding btc?
Escrow is a highly trusted person who handles the transaction both ways.
Btw, I'm selling Bitcoins.
Sent you a PM.

Hey, I'm also from the Philippines and I think the best way to buy bitcoin is via 7/11. Aside frome being accessible considering we have 7/11 almost everywhere, the process of buying it is simple too. Just pay for the amount being purchased and it will automatically be forwarded to your coins.ph account. I hope this helps! Smiley

Does this mean I need to use coins.ph?
