Not yet, but probably in the next 1 - 2 years.  Any website that any proposes for this purpose is not trustworthy unfortunately.

I would not guarantee it will be any different then now, except that you can pay in bitcoin.

The websites you purchase from still will be under same laws, so it is no easier to buy the stocks like OP mentioned.   They still have to do KNC stuff.  It will never be straight BTC to stock without a broker.  You have to know who is buying to prevent fraud, insider trading, etc.

I don't think there's any website currently which accepts bitcoin and let's you trade stocks. But maybe in future as Bitcoin gets more accepted, some Investment Companies/ Brokers will start to accept Bitcoin and let you trade using it.

Edit: Just saw this, so we might see it soon.

The biggest U.S. stock exchange operators are taking steps to embrace bitcoin, spurring speculation the digital currency is coming up from underground.

 I know the idea of bitcoin is wholeheartly against everything wall street stands for but as foreigners we do not have that easy way of buying and selling american stocks.

 I wanted to ask if its possible to buy nasdaq,nyse or any other stocks with bitcoin and sell them as well. Kinda like a middleman website where you deposit bitcoin do usual brokerage stuff buy/sell/hold whatever and when you are done , withdraw bitcoin.

Not that I know of at the moment.

Some cool things are in the works though. Overstock wants to build a stock market platform powered by cryptocurrency technology.

Also, Barry Silbert recently launched the first public and compliant Bitcoin ETF.

I think he's looking for regular stocks.  Not stocks that deal with bitcoin.

No as of now there is not a stock exchange that uses bitcoin as payment.   Most likely not going to have one soon unless one of the existing exchanges takes BTC.  But with the laws they have to follow, knowing customer, etc.  I just don't see a BTC for stocks.
