As the title says. What if a newbie asks you what is the easiest way to buy BTC, what would you suggest?

I would suggest a newbie to buy bitcoin from localbitcoin,and if the newbie is an American resident coinbase would be better option...

I've just had a total newbie ask my friend to ask me how to buy bitcoin to get started in the UK. I didnt suggest localbitcoins because it would require them meeting someone in a coffee shop or something.

Instead i suggested coinbase..... i dont know if that is a good suggestion for UK as i've not tried them myself but if i were going to use an exchange right now i would use them since they are insured by the NYSE.

For me easiest way to buy some BTC is to move funds from my paypal to virwox and exchange it for BTC.
You have also many exchangers where you can buy BTC with reasonable fees and using many different methods, like credit cards, paypal, Solid Trust Pay, Skrill etc.
You can check out ecurrencyzone for example.
Hope this helps.

It depends on the country.
Here in Austria, I'd say Bitcoin Bon or coinimal.
Some months ago, someone asked me that, and I just sold him Bitcoin myself(for € 5 lol).

It is good to give a newbie some easy access to Bitcoin, but I also always tell them: If you want to get serious, get higher amounts of Bitcoin, you should use an exchange otherwise you just pay too much in fees.

Virwox or Bit-x.com if I were you , they accept multiple methods for deposit and for withrawal , however for what comes to Virwox they take shitload of fees for what comes for Paypal & Credit cards , another method is to trade simply on currency exchange sub forum on bitcointalk and put your own rates and your own favorite payment method .

Simple..

Buy some from me!

but yea i would suggest a localbitcoin trusted trader if you have paypal balance or it really depends of how you want to buy it, just make sure is a trusted trader on local bitcoins keep in mind all deal in local bitcoins have a 360 minute time frame.

I dont have one. I understood the question as in if someone in real life asked me where to buy bitcoins I'd tell them I'm their man.

I would vote for LocalBitcoin myself. I never buy BTC, but do sell a couple times a month to cover living expenses.

I would suggest either Coinbase (www.coinbase.com) or BTC-E (https://btc-e.com/). I use both and have never had any problems with either.

As a new users I would go with Coinbase as they have live support that is almost always online and are super friendly.

What country do you live in?

Since you have the Big Lebowski as your avatar photo I'll assume you're in the US, in which case Coinbase is the easiest way for you to buy some cold hard BTC. Good luck.

is question is different, is not for him, he know how to buy bitcoin and from where, he say "what if a newbie"...

i would simply say exchange or localbitcoin, but perhaps my best recommandation would be circle, because it is fast enough for a newcomer

Buy from Localbitcoins, using bank transfer or Western Union. If someone is ready to sell Bitcoins for hard cash in your vicinity, then it is the best method (although you have to be cautious). Another method is to purchase Bitcoin with Paypal or Visa / Master, using Virwox. But the disadvantage is that Virwox charges quite hefty premiums.

When I was a newbie I bought BTC at https://anycoindirect.eu, the pay really quick when u have paid. Also they have a small amount of fee. I am sometimes still using this service to get some BTC. And if you want to buy with cash u can go to localbitcoins.com and find someone near to you.
