Topic: Good places to buy bitcoin? (Read 1212 times)
Localbitcoins is the way forward, peer 2 peer at its best, eliminating any of the "3rd parties"... if you are looking to buy, hit me up, I am always selling on this platform
Try a place called btcquick
localbitcoins.com works well for me
Hi guys!
Although I've only just registered, I've been reading the forum for months and bought my first bitcoin around October 2012.
So far I've used Bitstamp to buy all my bitcoin and can recommend them: no hassles and a friendly responsive support.
I used Transferwise to move cash from the UK and they were good too, until they turned their back on BTC.
What's been your experience buying bitcoin?

Bet you regret not buying more bitcoins during 2012...
There are many great places, try mtgox or btc-e
I used localbitcoins yesterday with no problems. Highly recommended.
Id try mtgox
I'm also wondering the same thing. Is there a exchange similar to bitfloor? I mean as in I can go to the bank and deposit cash that is credited to my account? I think bitinstant has a $500 limit.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
I find it interesting so many of you recommend localbitcoins/OTC or making personal contacts through the forums. I'll have to give these routes a try when I next look to trade. Trust is still an issue, especially for larger transactions.
OTC of the form marketplace both work, just use escrow for large transactions.
Any suggestions for an easy way to escrow?

I've tried localbitcoins.com but no one has gotten back too me. Would anyone recommend buying coins off forums instead? I prefer not to deal with exchanges because I don't see the need to give out some personal information just for some virtual currency

It matters where your located, but mtgox works for most anywhere in the world.
If you're dutch, Bitonic.nl is very good.
Where are you located?
if you can find someone in person, who can verify how much they have and send it before you give them cash - do it this way. they'll usually sell it under cost and you can hustle them for a better rate, instead of getting hustled hard by online exchanges.

Mtgox, just kidding btc-e is good.
btc-e is good.
If you don't mind getting verified, an exchange is probably your best bet. Try craigslist if you dare. Maybe post in a mining pool forum and see if any miners need/want to cash out.
OTC is good as well if you are a bit more tech savvy.
