Topic: WHat's the easiest safest way to buy bitcoins? (Read 2608 times)
It depends on the country, The Netherlands were i'm at now has something called IDEAL which basically is a non refundable direct online payment via bank account. Thus allowing you to buy your bitcoins instantly.
Circle with cc or debit card, works really well for me.. max buyout per week is 500$ USD ..
Agreed. Circle is the fastest way to get Bitcoin by a long shot. I got in early through invite and it took less than 5 minutes to set up my account with my Visa. Money upload is instantaneous and your Dollars get converted automatically to BTC at market rate. Can't beat that
I agree with your part about proving yourself within the community, but Alex Green did a pretty good job of that with Moolah, a pretty involved Dogecoin community, even NASCAR... Hell they were involved in everything, run by a 100% scammer from day one.... Personally, i'd like to see a face behind the brand, a transparent team and a source of revenue in case stuff went belly up, but Circle has offered 100% insurance on theft whether or not legitimate.. i guess time will tell. http://blog.circle.com/2014/09/29/circle-opens-doors-global-audience/
I don't think someone being involved in many events over a short period is sufficient to prove himself. He needs to be active for a longer period of time before he should really be trusted
another vote for circle - took much less BS than most exchanges
Wow, the service in you sig looks awesome, is this your business? Going to get it on the yocrypto.ca exchange listings asap, looks really cool just want to try it out first.

People are saying coinbase and others are saying meet in person, but I think that what's easiest and safest for you depends on what you consider hardship. As I understand it, using coinbase requires giving up a huge amount of personal info to the company, that might not be considered "easy" if you value privacy. On the other hand, meeting people in person might or might not be safe, etc.
For me, I prefer to meet in person and trade with neighbors. There are websites to help you do this. Also, in my town, I can find folks on craigslist whare selling bitcoin in person.

=D Couldn't agree more! The only issue I had as a Canadian is not being able to withdraw. But honestly, I don't mind, there i plenty of Canadian exchanges that work quick to swap back. Circle is super fast and awesome thus far for my purchases.

my mate dave, he can get you anything.
I checked the date carefully, finally determined that this is not last year's post
People actually thought buying Bitcoins from Mt Gox was the easiest safest way? 
That is an eye opener. Either way if you're based in the US, then Coinbase, Circle, or LocalBitcoins should be good options to buy Bitcoins.
Right. Some times it is better to put a little bit of extra effort into your trades if it means that you have a smaller chance of loosing access to your money for potentially years That is an eye opener. Either way if you're based in the US, then Coinbase, Circle, or LocalBitcoins should be good options to buy Bitcoins.
There are a lot of exchanges that you can count on when you want a safe and fast transaction. Among them were Bitfinex, Bitstamp, BTC-e and Coinbase. It is still up to your preferences which would you pick. i suggest you to use BTC-e because I'm personally using it and so far, no problems.
There isn't any safest way to deposit or buy bitcoin to long term.MT.G was safest but now is down. also MintPal for Altcoins, etc
Buy/sell for short trem using: Coinbase, Bitstamp, btc-e, Bitfinex
Regards

huh. you mean that mtgox was the safest way ago?
A Houdini 
And OP is gone.
I would suggest go to localbitcoins.com and find a good seller for an online exchange or set up a face to face cash deal, nothings safer than that.
Nothing is safe in the crypto world my friend, this is the wild wild west. Now get the .45 and walk the road for some Bitcoin son. I recommend visiting localbitcoins.com

I would argue that buying/selling from a trusted member of the community would be safer plus you would probably get your bitcoin quicker.
circle.com
and safest is
localbitcoins.com
find a local seller and make a deal
easy and safe

Did u just find out?
Coinbase if you are based in North America and not looking to buy in size
...
I have bought in person at Starbucks (good neighborhoods), maybe four times. My experiences have been excellent.
Buying in person for cash also has the virtue of being reasonably anonymous, fewer tracks...
