Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

I wanted to start a thread on ways to purchase Bitcoin.
These are sites I've used before and was hoping to get some input or reviews from others if anyone has used different sites not listed below.

These websites will require some form of verification

Purchase Bitcoin with Bank Transfer:
www.coinbase.com (Fast verification, Free if transfer to GDAX and limit buy)
www.gemini.com (Fast verification, Free to deposit, 0.25% to buy)
www.kraken.com (free to deposit, 0.25% to buy)

Purchase Bitcoin with Credit Card:
www.coinmama.com (5%, Fast verification)
www.coinbase.com (4%, Fast verification)
www.cex.io (3.5%)

Purchase Bitcoin locally near you at an ATM:
www.coinatmradar.com

Purchase Bitcoin with MANY other options, including cash in person:
www.localbitcoins.com

Purchase Bitcoin WITHOUT verification:

If anyone has had a good or bad experience using other websites, share your experience! Together we can compile a helpful list for newcomers :)

Nice consolidation post Beautiful

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

That's some very useful information.

It works quite well with this guide I wrote for complete novices - Bitcoin Guide/Tutorial: What is it?, How do you buy it, Spend it, Withdraw it etc.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

Do they have a marketplace? Gotta be careful with that site lots of scammers prey on innocent newcomers there.

Good looking guide! Just added it

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

There is also LBX.com

Which i believe is the first crypto provider to have a UK bank account.

This can be useful either to avoid exchange rate fees or if you use something like Uaccount that cannot transfer outside of the UK.

Thanks Jamsym, I would update original post but I seem to not have the option to.

Has anyone used the cash app by square?

I heard its incredibly easy and straight forward. You can buy Bitcoin on your mobile device by getting the app and linking it up with a debit card of yours. There are no fees, and you get to buy Bitcoin at market price. It requires verification in order to withdraw the BTC but it seems like a very convenient option for newcomers.

Here's another really useful guide to buying Bitcoin that was written by elmo:-

That was back in the day when there was heated competition as to who could write the best guides.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

square cash app is great.

Its gotta be the most convenient way of buying BTC if you're in the USA... Coinbase is smooth too but has higher fees and longer wait times for BTC

I think it has a 1% overall fee and you buy BTC with your debit card at market rate, with instant BTC delivery

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

coinify.com

only need dl to verify identity

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

Hey B,

I know a guy that knows a guy in an alley somewhere downtown if ya interested ;)

For real though, the point of btc was to have no intermediary. Everything mentioned has some sort of operation behind it with all of your info. Is that what Bitcoin is truly intended to do?

:peace:

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

Thatnk you for a good and informative post! I would like to add some notes: CEX supports bank transfer (or wires) as well. And they have updated this payment option: https://cex.io/wires-campaign/.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

You forgot to mention you can buy bitcoin here in the forum marketplace.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

good point! I wonder how he is doing :cheer:

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

Exactly, You can buy bitcoin here in the forum Marketplace (Account Services) :)

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

I have seen an ATM machine in Kroger,I will take a better look.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

Wow, didnt know bitcoin was traded in the marketplace on here.

I have been buying and selling crypto for a few years i use binance personally, i know thats not available to you guys in the US and binance.us isnt the same.

But there is tonnes of other exchanges and options though, you can use trust wallet using coinmarketcap with pancake swap.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

Bihance, CoinBase, Kraken.
Why people are not asking where to mix btc? it's also an important quiestion I guess.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

Ofc they are many exchanges where we can always buy coins.
But if you meet the requirements to buy on these exchanges, is an other question.
Not everyone isn't allowed to do and would seek for alternatives.

Re: Where to Buy Bitcoin?
 

indeed that's an interesting question. But I guess most people won't talk much about how they "spend" their coins...
