does coinbase has ppc, xpm, and ftc?

No, I'm pretty sure they're just a BTC wallet. You can send funds from there to BTC e or Mt. Gox to trade for alt coins, though.

Does anyone know what the process is like for putting USD into localbitcoin escrow? Like, is a lot of banking information required? Does verification take a long time? Is it better just to trade in person with cash?

I read about it on their website, but it was kind of vague....

Buying 0.01 BTC is best at localbitcoins, not worth sending SEPA bank transfers (or international) to exchanges because of higher bank fees

Amount being small or big is not important. How you are thinking about yourself which is the attitude. There are chances that you may not achieve what you think. For example, you may not achieve any big profit from 0.1. However, as experience adds, you will get big profits after sometime.

0.1 isn't "such a small sum" at all - it's 100 mBTC. You dnitely shouldn't be put off by the fact you can't get a whole bitcoin; at this point, the vast majority of arrivers to the bitcoin scene have less than 1 BTC.

He stated he is looking to buy 0.01 not 0.1. Furthermore, restating the amount he wants to purchase in mB instead of BTC helps him no way.

Investing 10 dollars won't do much unless you intend to gamble with it. I personalturned $28.50 USD to $400 in a matter of days.
As I acknowledged later in the thread. Read the whole thing before you criticise people.

Gambling? You sound like an excellent person to be giving investment advice  Roll Eyes

Hey guys, I was looking to buy into bitcoin but at $1000 and growing, I'm not looking at buying a full coin. I'd like to buy about .01 just to invest in https://cex.io/r/1/jogoma12/0/ . Where can I buy this, or is it even worth buying such a small sum?

Edit: Willing to buy here and pay with amazon gift cards since paypal is not trusted

I would recommend investing, even if it is a seemingly small sum. It could pay out very big in the future. Additionally, using Bitcoin is the best way to learn about Bitcoin, and that requires getting a little bit in your wallet. Send me a PM if you get a chance.

 Actually did look at that link before. This is so confusing. Do all cryptocoins require first buying bitcoin?

Is there a simple way to buy Litecoin with a credit card?
Top result on Google from "Litecoin credit card". http://www.btcpedia.com/buy-litecoin-with-paypal-credit-card/

Can't vouch for that website's reliability, though.

"0.1 small sum". Would'nt say so. Even if 0.1 sounds very small it does'nt mean that it is. In the future people might buy things with 0.001 BTC etc. Wink
