Not only is it one of the most popular exchanges for transacting Bitcoins globally, but also LocalBitcoins accepts just about every payment method. No matter what kind of financial situation or payment methods you have available the great thing is you can still get your hands on Bitcoin.
All you have to do is either arrange for an in-person meet up with a local dealer, or private message them so you can buy with PayPal, postal mail, Western Union or any type of payment method you two decide.
Overall, I have made a number of transactions using LocalBitcoins and met some interesting people out of it as well.
I would recommend the platform for those just getting started, and also to very experienced sellers who see opportunity in the cryptocurrency space.

Just like Coinmama, CEX.IO offers an extremely simple way to purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 8 other cryptocurrencies with a credit card or debit card.
Unlike Coinmama which charges a 5% fee, CEX.IO has a 2.99% charge for credit card purchases.
The platform is easy to use and offers a sexy interface for users to make quick market transactions. The fees are low and transactions are protected with Two-Factor Authentication.
Overall, I would recommend CEX.IO over most other platforms for buying cryptocurrencies with a credit card.

Coinmama is an excellent way to purchase Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, and Cardano instantly with a Visa or MasterCard credit card or debit card. The process is fast. It is simple to get started, and Coinmama delivers a stupendous experience for beginners and advanced buyers and sellers alike.

Did you know Dubai is set to become the world's first completely Blockchain centered society? Everything including passports, land deeds, banking info, and your driver's license will be on the Blockchain - completely transparent and working seamlessly with each other.
Before cryptocurrency can take off there has to be a real use case for it in day to day life (otherwise it is just virtual money). Once Dubai is able to solidify their position as a fully integrated Blockchain society then it will not be difficult to imagine the rest of the world following suit.
If you are in the Dubai area and would like to learn more about how you can effectively buy BTC check out our newest article:

Appreciate the feedback magneto. These are some very helpful tips and I will upgrade the guide accordingly. 
Although the website is centered around Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency investing, it is important to stress the benefits of other assets like precious metals so we went ahead and created a Gold IRA rollover guide. Those who learn mostly from the crypto-universe will gain knowledge about gold, silver investing which will help in the long-run.

I like the fact that you're explaining everything in an easy to understand manner. I also like the fact that you're putting out all the warnings out there nice and early so that nobody goes out of their way to invest in bitcoin only to realise that they've just lost their entire life savings after suffering a single crash.
Since your site is a pretty investment oriented site, I would steer clear of reiterating info that everyone already has even though you can definitely put it in an entirely separate section. IMO if you want to talk about how you can invest in BTC, then you should just stick to that. Leave the hardware wallets etc. to another section of the site.
Also I'm pretty sure you have only talked about how to use coinbase, and none of the other exchanges. Should add some info about other major platforms as well, especially how to make a profit from LBC p2p trading.

Nothing wrong with more and more websites popping up re Bitcoin, but am highly doubtful of Bitcoin investments that are actually viable. Your latest post, for example, resembles more of the typical, run-of-the-mill HYIP than anything else. Don't you think 1% a day just sets off all sorts of alarms, especially when you're allowed to "reinvest" at the end of those 140 days? Even the best legitimate Bitcoin generating opportunities out there are at best low single digit interest rates (margin loans at some of the big exchanges, for example).
Careful you don't get tempted to write reviews and earn referral commissions, or you descend down the route of hyip site. You're an investment knowledge site, maybe focus more on education and awareness?

Good point. It seems right after I completed the post, USI Tech came under strict regulations in both U.S. and Canada, so I would be wary of investing into it for the time being. In fact, if you are invested within USI-Tech I would advise that you start taking your BTC out. A friend got me into it and although it may sound great for a quick return, over the long run I think USI Tech is a scheme.
You are correct about creating articles for the legitimate investor in cryptocurrency and specifically Bitcoin. I think I will be turning the site into a high value, long-form content sort of website.
Appreciate the genuine insight.For the time being, we have shared another great post on Why Bitcoin Is Valuable And Will Be Part Of Our Future. I think Bitcoin will be the staple crypto for the next few years....maybe not forever but definitely for a good while.
