I do face to face trades, meeting people in real life.

Be careful when you do face to face trades. It is very dangerous. Try to it in most crowded area.

I am thinking of buying BTC in Poloniex for alt coins and BTC-e for LTC. Coinbase is better though.

I use coinbase, although if I ever get a circle invite I'd try it there since they are 0% fee.
I would use localbitcoins for face to face, but the only sellers in my area want higher prices than I'm willing to pay ($660-$800).

I prefer, local face to face trades, as it allows me to discuss bitcoin with fellow bitcoineers (if that even is a word) and to try to get them more interested in using bitcoin more often.

Localbitcoins when I can, though I use Coinbase when local premiums are too high.

Hey guys, I was wondering how you buy bitcoins. What exchange/service do you use and why? I'm a newb and want to start buying some bitcoins and I'm leaning towards coinbase because of it's ease of payment, although I do not know how long it takes for bank transfers to complete. Gox is to centralized it seems, and getting money into Gox seems to be very hard, especially with Dwolla, which has many hoops on its own. I wish I could use a smaller exchange like Bitstamp, but I don't know how to easily deposit money there, and Bitinstant doesn't help much, I don't want to drive to do a cash deposit, and the fees are high. Thanks for your input Cheesy

This thread is just about a year old, but it shows us how many changes we have in the past year.
Mtgox was gone in early 2014, so as BitInstant.
Bitstamp was small, but is now one of the biggest exchanges.

I prefer localbitcoins as well, because it is the easiest way IMO to buy bitcoin without revealing my identity.

When I need to get $$ into bitcoin, I sometimes use Coinbase and sometimes use Localbitcoins. I prefer the latter since I can get them instantly (in-person for cash).

My first purchase was F2F.
After that I did a couple of buys on exchanges: stamp, Btc-e, ...
Now I have gone back to F2F, in this way you meet new people, new stories and it allows me to learn a lot about this all

Buy BTC? Ha! I'd rather work for it!

In all seriousness, though, I would buy BTC with localbitcoins, or at a convention or something. Not through websites, since those require a lot of ID, and I don't like tossing about 100% of my identity to a highly valued target for hackers.

I haven't bought any BTC in the past, but I may do it some time soon. Working for it has proved fruitful, and as such, I haven't had a need to buy it.
