Topic: how to buy bitcoins (Read 1389 times)

I transfer the money to web exchanger's bank account and then trade on that web. When you trade bitcoin it similar to trade stock.

First of all, you need to create a Bitcoin Wallet, then go to a trading platform, a reputable Bitcoin trading site to buy Bitcoin with your bank account, and the Bitcoin you purchase into your Bitcoin Wallet. When you want to sell, transfer Bitcoin on your wallet to the trading floor that sells cash and withdraws to your bank account.

Yes, You can buy Bitcoin by Credit Card or Paypal, if you county legalized Bitcoin before so you can buy Bitcoin easily. Otherwise, you can buy Bitcoin from Yobit, Paxful and more site. But Paxful is the best I think.

Nowadays, Some exchanges integrate variety of payment method in their sites.
In different countries there different payment methods, find your country's exchange site which can convert your currency to bitcoin.
Lots of payment methods like, Credit cards, Paypal, PayU etc. are accepted now.

You may also want to check out the MyCelium wallet (Android version). There is a market place included in the app. There you can put in your zip-code and it allows you to hook up with local bitcoin buyers and sellers. It is a very convenient way and the offers are always fresh. Compared to the fee structure of Exchanges you might also get a better deal depending on your negotiation skills.

You could buy bitcoin nowadays by almost every payment method so just pick wallet in which you want to hodl them and purchase crypto! 
 

alot of russia ppl use bestchange service to look on local exchanger of bitcoints but they are use 10% comsa
alot from credit card u can buy from yobit exchanger but its have some higher price on crypto
localbitcoins and telegram bot also good for buy crypto p2p

Coinbase is a really easy place to buy bitcoin.
You can buy with your credit card to buy instantly but there will be some fees. You can also buy with credit transfer; you will have to wait few days that  your Coinbase account is credited but with this method you will have no fees or less( depending on your country)
After that you can transfer them to your hardware wallet to hodl or on your exchange wallet to trade or buy altcoins.

You can use both! For safety reasons, the best way to process this is thru a Paxful.com because they have the fastest transactions

You can use sites like cex.io to buy Bitcoins using a credit card or a PayPal account. Generally, no one accepts Paypal transactions because the sender can revert his funds even after the several weeks after the transaction date and we have experienced the scams in that way. Since Bitcoin is trackless there is no way to find a scammer so you won't be able to buy Bitcoins from the direct trader (try your luck in currency exchange section) but you can definitely use your credit card to buy Bitcoins.

I also don't know how to buy bitcoin...
Can you help me out ?

I prefer coin base to buy bit coin , just create an account in coin base. Verify your id connect with your credit card . You are ready to buy then. That's all.

Coinbase or Blockchain

here in are country we use apps for phone, as wallet, then we pay in 7-11 to load that wallet, then convert it to bitcoin.

Does Paxful.com work for those living in NY?

In my country which is the philippines,you can buy bitcoin using bitcoin wallet called coins.ph.In this wallet you can be able to cash in you fiat money and convert it into bitcoin.

It seems the crypto world has to mature a lot more to seamlessly move from and to fiat in any jurisdiction. If you live in NY, options are very limited. Coinbase, GDAX, Gemini, Localbitcoins and ATMs are the only options I know so far, and they're expensive in terms of fees.

I've recently finished writing this to get my friends and family involved... I've recently jumped in as well but have previous knowledge of the whole bit. Feel free to check out my research so far I update it every week or so.

Use Paxful.com to purchase your BTC

you can buy bitcoin through deals or buy bitcoin directly from other sellers in the market
In the United States.

It is very simple and there are many ways to do so. You can buy some from any of cryptocurrencey trading sites, you just need to register and then deposit some money at your account at the site, then you will be able to buy BTC or any other coin you want. I think this is the easiest way to do so.
Wish you good luck.

My friends advice me that i can but coind thru 7/11 stores, but I havnt tried any yet.

You  an buy Bitcoin from a trust worthy seller or even if you so not want to risk buying from persons,There are couple of websites where one can get Bitcoin e.g. naira4dollar.com

One more good exchange to use form fiat to BTC conversion is Coinmama, if you live in one of the US states that they support. Coinmama also has a good affiliate program.

With credit card the best is Coinbase

You can buy BTC using Cex.io but firstly want verify it. Not only that you can contact local bitcoin seller and buy BTC.

You can buy bitcoins on many websites, such as localbitcoins, coinbase etc.

Ther is lot of websites from where you can buy bitcoin or any crypto money .and if you have local exchanger  in your country or if you know personally currency exchanger  then is good because on local exchenger you ll pay low fee and you can exchange you money.but be aware from scammer

I buy BTC from Coinbase but the fees are very hight
There is also kraken

I wrote a guide on how to charge $100 to your Visa credit / debit card and buy Bitcoin through Coinbase.

I posted it on Steemit.com for everyone to read.

Check it out here:

Many ways to buy bitcoin I think. You can exchange your currency with your local exchanger. I think also can buy with dollars.

I prefer Paypal. Paypal is one of the most trusted and popular services for online transactions these days.

Buying bitcoin with credit card can be a bit trickier and more expensive. Each transaction might have its own restrictions around paying by creadit card, which can affect how long it takes and how cost-effective it is.

There are special platforms for that, depending on your geographical location
(Europe, US, Asia etc.), but also on the payment method you would like to choose.
Personally, I would not recommend PayPal (very high fees).

Best way for me is just to purchase Bitcoins using Mastercard (3,5% fees) or via a simple bank transfer (less fees).
You can of course start with Coinbase, but my personal recommendation would be to buy BTC on the following sites:

- Blockchain info (pretty secure in my opinion, no ID-verification needed up to 300 Dollars)
- BitPanda (really recommended if you are located in Europe, they are pretty secure also, plus no ID-verification needed up to 50 Euro)
- LiteBit.eu (if you are from Europe, good pick, no ID-verification, but you will need to verify your bank account)

Buying bitcoins is really simple once you complete the registration process. Just click "buy Bitcoin" (this will depend on the platform you are using), choose the payment method and insert the amount you would like to purchase (currently it is often not possible to purchase BTC for less than 200 dollars). Keep your phone handy, because you will receive verification codes.

You can leave that Bitcoin on the plaform/exchange, but I would recommend creating a Paper Wallet on bitaddress or getting a Hard Wallet like Ledger Nano S or the Trezor, if you want to store it long-term.

You might want to do a quick search on YouTube once you have decided on the platform you want to register for purchasing your Bitcoin (my advice would be to register on several platforms to see which one works best for you): simply search for something along the lines of 'buy bitcoin Blockchain info' or 'buy Bitcoin Coinbase').

I hope that helps.

I just signed up for Bittrex, was anticipating getting some bitcoin and then acquiring a few altcoins and thought you might be mistaken as I got signed up no problem so I went back to their site and it looks like indeed you are correct.  Below is a cut and paste from their page for new accounts.

We have received an enormous number of new account registrations over the past few weeks.  We are excited to have so many new users who want to join the Bittrex community.  Unfortunately, we have to make a few upgrades to our support and backend systems to handle the increased traffic and load.  As such, we have halted new user registrations for the time being.

For steps to how buy bitcoins for my small knowledge.
The first  step creat your account .
Open your account on coinbase.
And credit card varify ID to your coinbase profile.
  I recommend you to try this website. Paxful.com I think tthis is the way to help you good luck.

There seems to be as many advice as there are exchanges and wallets out there.

As for exchanges, from what I've read, Bittrex doesn't allow new registrations as per December 15th. That leaves Bitfinex and Binance as the two exchanges that offers many alt coins. But which is the preferred one? Looks like they both aren't too user friendly.

both are dangerous you must transfer from bank it is save way . then card and last option is paypal

Use a Bitcoin Exchange

Our Bitcoin Exchange page, lists many different businesses that can help you buy Bitcoin using your bank account.

Discover people selling Bitcoin in your community

Local Bitcoins lets you search and browse through various sellers of Bitcoin in your area. Sellers have reviews and feedback scores to help you choose.

Use a Bitcoin ATM

Bitcoin ATMs work like a regular ATM, except they allow you to deposit and withdrawal money so that you can buy and sell Bitcoin. Coin ATM Radar has an interactive map to help you find the closest Bitcoin ATM near you.

Some countries even have bitcoin ATMs around the place.
Might be worth checking to see if this is available in your area.

Both way are acceptable. You may try to buy bitcoin in localbitcoins.com
There should be nice market to buy bitcoin, you may try coinbase too.

You hardly find a way to buy BTC with paypal.
CC is convenient way ... but in most cases you have to go for verification (upload ID ...).
Try to find some BTC ATM nearby or use localbitcoins to find trader ( and buy via bank transfer).

Wow, that's really awesome. Is bitcoin that accessible? Do you use the purchased bitcoin to buy goods or just to accumulate?

Most exchange like www.cei.xo accept card for purchase but it depends on your country of origin, and also you need to pass through a lot of verification and kyc before you are allowed.

Buying Bitcoin with instant method is the easiest way to buy Bitcoin. With this method, you can get your Bitcoin directly at the exchange rates listed at that time. You just enter how many Rupiahs you want to pay or how much Bitcoin you want to buy. Usually, this method is widely used for beginners who are new to Bitcoin or those who do not want to take a headache in buying Bitcoin. This method is perfect if you want to buy Bitcoin and keep it as a long-term investment asset. Depending on each Bitcoin company, Bitcoin purchases can be made by bank transfer method (either ATM or internet banking), various minimarket outlets, or e-wallet service providers.

You can buy BT using cex.io account but This site ask your credit card details and personal details. if you want to buy BTC without given your details you can contact local bitcoin seller in your country.

If you are in coinbase support, then buy and sell bitcoins on them. Or you can search in your country the sellers you can buy bitcoin from them.

Buying cryptocurrency with fiat then?
You can go to your local exchanges, I'm pretty sure every nation has their own 'biggest' exchanges.
Although, you will need to do verification process to be able to trade.

If sharing your information isn't your forte, you can try this forum's currency exchange or Localbitcoin.

there is many way to buy of bitcoins. I recommeded to buy of bitcoin at coinbase, localbitcoins, poloniex, bittrex and binance
it is great exchanges to traded or buy bitcoin and altcoins.

Look up at coinbase, lots of people trust them and buying from them so why not to try from this side?

I want to know about $ to ETH or BTC

Do you already have some BTC or ETH and want to sell them or exchange them? Or do you want to know on what website you can buy them?

You can buy bitcoin through deals or buy bitcoin directly from other sellers in the market
In the United States, Coinbase, and Circle offer credit card payment options. In the UK, Bittylicious, CoinCorner and Coinbase also offer this service, accepts 3D Secure credit and debit cards for Visa and MasterCard networks

Just wondering whats the cheapest way to buy bitcoin? I'm doing coinbase credit card at the moment. Anybody have any ideas? Bittybot.com seems to show coinbase pretty decent rates

Depends on where you live.

Where I live:
- Transfer money from a bank account to an exchange like Kraken or Bitstamp, this is the cheapest option, the bank fee is only a few cents and the deposit to an exchange takes just a few hours
- Buy it on an exchange like Bitstamp with credit card, but there's a large fee
- Buy it on a Bitcoin ATM or almost every petrol station, 7% fee
- There aren't many people using localbitcoins around here and those that do usually want about 25% more than the market price, so I just let them keep it that price 

I choose the cheapest options. If I don't care about anonimity I use bank transfer if I do I use ATM or petrol station to buy it with cash.

In countries where local currency isn't easily converted to $ and there's no ATM or shops selling it for cash, localbitcoins might be the best way to buy.

if you can send sepa, i have made go experiences with bitstamp, a fully licensed exchange.
https://www.bitstamp.net/
It usually takes 3 business days for the money to get credited to your account

There are many ways to buy Bitcoin.
1. Buy BTC from exchange online: Bitttrex, Poloinex...
2. Buy directly with other guy in cafe

Most of the time I buy Bitcoin from our local community. And it's the easiest way to buy Bitcoin. You can also build a local community of buying and selling Bitcoin. You can also buy Bitcoin from online. I prefer Paxful.com for buying Bitcoin. It is the most trustable site in online for buy Bitcoin by USD.

You can buy it on Coinbase.com, remitano.com, coinmama, localbitcoins... 

i suggest you https://poloniex.com/ this site .. i used  this site.you also buy and sell this site ..if you interested you can use this site .

I think you can use coinbase wallet, if you want to buy bitcoin from credit card, but you may be id verified first before you link any credit cards you want on that wallet. or you can visit some legit sites, like localbitcoin or do a search for preferred legit one. its very hard for you to buy bitcoin in your country,here in my local community, our country provide us a bitcoin wallet that we can buy or sell bitcoin in easiest way.

Paxful.com is one of the most popular sites for buying Bitcoin. I recommended you Paxful.com. You can try this site. I think you will be satisfied.

There are many exchanges that you trade in but my personal favorite and many people too is Bittrex because it's easy and has alot of coins to choose.

There are ways to buy bitcoin. you can buy bitcoin online via localbitcoins.com. and it depends in what country you belong coz I'm living in Asia. so I deposit my money in my bank account and convert my money to buy bitcoin

I'm somewhat new to actually buying bitcoin (mined them early on) and have only used coinbase. Seems to work pretty well for me.

In my country, there are a local exchangers who sell Bitcoins. They will give you Bitcoins if you transfer some money to local bank. So, we do not need Paypal or Credit Card. Just transfer to their local bank account to get Bitcoin. Maybe in every country has it too. And I think it's cheaper than Paypal or Credit Card.

i buy bitcoins in our convenience store because i live in Taipei and its very flexible for me to buy

You can buy bitcoins thru Visa Debit card here in asian countries we go to banks and convenience store to buy bitcoin

First you want to buy a bit then you must first have a purse to store it here I usually use these two types of wallet is coinbase.com or blockchain.infor. Then you can buy bits from people you know so they can transfer bitcoin to your wallet or also buy on the exchange that your country has or you can buy usdt (1 currency to buy type of coin on the floor) then you can go to the floor to buy bitcoin or other types of coin. Good luck 

I used kraken to get some btc because there are no fees for depositing fiat. (I can only tell about euro, but I think they also won't be a fee on usd)

You also don't have to provide your id.

But pay attention that the bank account name you are depositing from matches your provided name on kraken!

Otherwise it won't work and you have to open a support ticket.

I think you should buy your bitcoins at a exchange like bitfinex or kraken. You can deposit from you bankaccount there. If you have a account at Fidor bank, you can transfer your fiat instant to your kraken account!

yes, there are actually several sites that allows you to buy bitcoin by using your credit card

Coinbase doesnot support in many asian countries. It is the safest way to buy bitcoin but if you are asian then use paypal/payoneer card linked with your europeon account can help u buy easily and safely.

you can buy bitcoins up to the market or you can just install coinbase and if your country supported the buying and selling there you can easily buy bitcoin through your bank account.

Those will charge you much, especially PayPal. I use localbitcoins bit it's still expensive. Coinbase is good from what I heard. Just compare before making transactions.

Coinbase is the easiest way to start buying either Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin with a credit/debit card using USD.

Once you've bought coins on Coinbase, open an account on Bittrex. It's very easy to sign up and get started on Bittrex. They don't take USD but you can transfer your BTC/LTC/ETH from Coinbase to Bittrex and by other altcoins.

https://www.buysomebitcoins.com/  , I advise you this site, even if the fees are huge but good

Depends on your needs and reason for buying bitcoins.

If you want to trade - chose exchange, register, verify (if needed), deposit some amount via bank, and buy btc on screen.
If you want it for smth else like holding or personal needs - go to localbitcoins, buy and transfer to your personal wallet.

both are dangerous you must transfer from bank it is save way . then card and last option is paypal

There's a general agreement from people on this forum that Paypal is bad for Bitcoin. A lot of that is driven by the sales of physical cryptocoins, which I know you aren't trying to do here. But the Paypal has had policies written to forbid the purchase of currencies using Paypal (which is kind of ironic). Additionally, there aren't equal protections for the buyer and the seller.

Credit card is a better option. Plus, won't you get some points or cash back or flyer miles or hotel points, etc?!

The best way to buy bitcoins at localbitcoin sit, it's will more secure and safety sit you can buy bitcoin with bank account or they have more payments options.
