I use localbitcoins to buy or sell bitcoins in fiat because one and more reasons.

- There are many merchants so you get your deal executed within an hour (if you don’t have balance in localbitcoins wallet).

- They provide free automated escrow service so it’s quick and secure.

- There are many options to choose from, I have used almost 7 to 10 fiat options to get or send my fiat balance.

- Reputation system, reputation system works well just like bitcointalk.

If you are concerned about your privacy then you should go with virtual credit card service providers.

My preferred method to buy bitcoins is with someone I can meet up with, I like to pay him/her in cash for some nice bitcoins.
I mostly use localbitcoins for these kind of things.

I always prefer bank transfer else face to face, because I don't care about the issue with identity. Even now if user don't need to think of these and all due to the introduction of lots of bitcoin exchanges as it has got several options.

A really cheap way is to mine an alt when the difficulty is low, using just an ordinary graphics card, and then converting it to bitcoin. Or minting coins with a proof of stake wallet, and then converting to bitcoin.   
Then if OP needs exact amount of bitcoin immediately for paying bills which have deadline,OP will go to mine first waiting few weeks and then exchange it to bitcoin while the bills expired? That's not going to answer the question

I've been trying to read about "safe" "secure" and "mainstream" (lots of people use it, proves it works) ways of buying bitcoin. 

What's your opinion Coinbase?  I mention this because I've heard lots of horror stories pop up, even recently regarding hiccups and accounts being wrongfully charged or wrongfully closed, enough for me to think twice.


What do most of you all use?  There's also https://localbitcoins.com but I rather not deal in such ways.

I don't know, any how, what methods do you guys use that you consider reliable? safe?  That you've found relatively "dependable" so to speak?


I've been wanting to mine for years, but waited too long, and then boom!  Now bitcoin has taken off to extreme levels, and we're on the brink of the halving.. thus I at least rather have some then none by now.

Thanks in advance!
If it was possible for me, I would prefer to meet them face-to-face. Cash preferred.

But since there are no local traders, I would prefer to reach out to some trusted members on this forum.

If you want a no worry transaction my advice use the reputable exchanges like kraken en bitfiniex. You pay the market price and normal fees.
The downside is you have to sent your ID information.

So if you want to avoid that... you can use local bitcoins or the currency exchange.
The downside is you pay higher fees and you can get scammed, if you are not careful..

If you are afraid toe buy bitcoin in coinbase or localbitcoin there's an other way to buy bitcoins you can try perfect money buy funds in perfect money and you can convert it easy into business partner of perfect money that you can find here https://perfectmoney.is/business-partners.html
just choose high trusted score so that you are far in scammers..
I was trying to do this using my perfect money to convert BTC but All of perfect money business partners charge awful fees for exchange. Like some exchangers charge minimum $10 + what ever amount you want to exchange. Finally I did my exchange with a member here.
Yeah there's a fee but most of the business partner in perfect money are asking for high fees.. but i have one site that i know giving a low fee and they can give you a discount if you are registered in their site. try this one changer.com.. still now i am using it..

buy bitcoin from a trusted place/site/exchanger. and buy for cheaper price. local bitcoin is the most preferred place to buy bitcoin for me.
Even I didn't bought bitcoin ever, but if I need to buy I would buy from localbitcoin for sure. or I will buy from this forum's currency exchange section.
I too prefer buy from this forum's currency exchange section but I hate localbitcoin as it usually has huge gap from current price.
I usually avoid coinbase as it is known for many horror stories.

CASH from a bitcoin atm.
Safest and most anonymous option if you ask me.

I use Circle and I trust them.

I used Coinbase until they nuked my account.   It was my fault.  I would trust them again.

I would buy bitcoin on this forum with escrow.  I don't trust anyone on this forum without it.

And even if you trust an exchange, don't keep your coins in their wallet.  Always use your own.

It mostly depends on where you live. I would preferably buy from a company that is located where I live. and ofcourse do a thorough research on the company before purchase.

This is one of the best options indeed, I once did it at localbitcoins and I'm very happy with it, I still have contact with the dealer itself.
I met him in person and made a deal back in the days.

lmao you make it almost sound like a drug transaction "with the dealer" but i prefer LBTC as well for anonymity

I've used coinbase and it works fine. I have never tried localbitcoins but there are lots of people that say it works good and it's quicker. I'm sure there are other ways as well.
