Bitcoin Forum

Hello guys,

I am pretty new to bitcoins. Last time I bought bitcoins, I went to anycoindirect.eu - the problem is, I pay 10€/per btc more than the current exchange-price.

I checked out bitstamp for example the problem is now the "account verification" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egv_BDCiR-E).

I could scan my driver license for example, but since I still live with my parents (Im 19), I dont have any electric bills or anything in my name. What should I do? Any other exchange, where I can buy 2 BTC for example (with SEPA from an EU bank account), without the need to send private documents?

Thanks guys!

You can send your ID + drivers license, for example...

As for alternatives, you can try something like localbitcoins if you don't want to send your info, or Kraken, if you don't mind them having a bit of info.

Thanks for your reply!

I just checked the FAQ (https://www.kraken.com/en-us/help/faq). Do you know if it would be possible to buy 2 btc with a basic account + a sepa deposit?

I really would like not to submit all the private documents, since I have a bad feeling about how this stuff is stored, and who can access it.


Edit:
The problem I see with localbitcoin is, that if the guy I am buying from (and sending money to via my bank account) does something illegal, I get visit from the police, who asks me, why I sended 500 EUR to this guy.
And when I tell them I bought btc, then think its something you can smoke.

https://cex.io

All 100% legit & trustworthy methods of acquiring bitcoins - Give them a go.
You can buy from people here, use a reputable escrow as a middle man for peace of mind.

Yeah, Kraken is not an option at all.

*Due to elevated risk of fraud in Germany, all clients resident in Germany and/or funding from a German bank account will require Tier 3 verification and must also provide an ID confirmation photo. An ID confirmation photo is a picture of you holding the ID used for Tier 3 verification next to your face to allow for facial verification of the ID.

Maybe I stick with this anycoindirect site, even if I overpay 20€ ... didnt knew its so complicated to buy few btc :(

AFAIK LocalBitcoins.com is unavailable in Germany as well. So, you may use LocalBitcoins.com altenative www.100bit.co.in, which is available in Germany and cheaper as well.

That takes an age to get money into and there's extra verification with the third party fiat processors plus some big ass fees.

Bitcoin.de is worth a look too. That's p2p like localbitcoins but can often be the same price as the exchanges.

I use Coinbase.com, it's pretty easy and they have a very nice mobile app.

You can buy bitcoins at Virwox, if you are using PayPal/PaySafeCard.But it has really high fees. I would suggest to trade with a highly trusted member on this forum, that have done many trades before. If u don't want to pay +10€ /BTC u don't use a exchange, they are mostly expensive.

Good luck with getting some BTC!

Yes, buy it from the trusted people, or simply buy it from your friend who is using bitcoins since a long time, as you never know you can get scammed by the scammers and if you buy from the traders just go through their trading history which can give you the exact idea about the trader.

I use https://cex.io to buy some Bitcoins

Thanks for the links, I need them as well.

The one that I believe is virwox (as it is told by someone here in this thread). But the fee of this exchange are high. I suggest that the best way to change is here in this forum. Made an announcements and there are to many that can change. Only one warning: Change with escrow and the guy which will deal with you must not have the trust red.

look no further, just go to the currency exchange section and exchange whatever you have
just make sure that you deal with a trusted trader and not someone who just want to scam you for a few BTCs

You can Buy or Sell Bitcoins in Localbitcoins.com It is Best Website for Buying or Selling Bitcoins. It Follows Trusted Escrow Between the Buyer and Seller. I Can Prefer Localbitcoins.com, or If you need other Bitquick, bit-x, bitxindia, etc.,

dont use btc-e or cex.io

coinbase
kraken
bitstamp
itbit

are good and recieved alot funding.

I often buy bitcoin in cex.io until now  ;D

I buy it from my friends.

well that's only for germany people, for any other european it work good and very fast, never had any problem with them, i just hope that they will not do the same for everyone, otherwise it might be better to use a decentralized platform like a forum....

So do I.

I see that you are based in Europe, so Kraken would be great for you. It's a really great exchange and I use it a lot. They have different verification levels and they even let you buy smaller amounts without sending all your documents.

Now I hope that you are not based in Germany since the last I heard, for German bank accounts, you would need higher level verifications.

I bought from exchangers and sometimes coinbase.

I think you can buy can buy bitcoin on other users online using your bank account but you must ensure that the person you will be buying bitcoins is a trusted person so your money will not be wasted and you can buy bitcoins succesfully.But i think there are still online shops out there that sells bitcoins.Just search for it i dont know it because im noy buying bitcoins

I suggest using exchanger poloniex.com . In poloniex.com you can still buy bitcoin if not pass verification, but just that there is a limit to withdraw each day. If you verify the limit per day will rise. thank you

There are many ways where to buy bitcoin. You can buy bitcoin using paypal. You can buy bitcoin in some store if they offer that service. You can buy it at trading site where you use your dollars to buy it. Just surf the internet, you can find many ways where to buy bitcoin and before buying make somd review or survey about it to make sure it is legit and your money won't be waste.

there are lots of exchange that we can buy bitcoins.
one of those are yobit.net, cex.io, exchange.coindesk.com, poloniex
 and etc. :)

You are right about that the fact is that polo and yobit are both pretty good and trustable these days.
I consider them as the best also!

When I started my journey with bitcoin I bought it from localbitcoin but after that I never bought I am just earning it from various ways and trying to collect as many as possible.

When I started out , I bought from Coinbase.
Later I bought from here, bitcoin talk forum.

Did coinbase.com changing fiat to bitcoin and bitcoin to fiat with current price again dollar? Or they make theyre own price?

Honenstly you are just quoting 2015 post and i think they can not answer it now.. well i can give some answer according to differences bitstamp btc-e or other exchange sites. coinbase is in the middle price of bitcoin. they also relaying in default price of bitcoin..

i believe people more lika to buy bitcois from this forum just because its more easy and faster,but i dont kow what price that effered from people here,is the price lower than market?or its have same price?because when i trade in my country with local person,the price always higher when i trying to buy bitcoin.

I was not so confident with yobit or cex.io. the most trusted and oldest course is poloniex. I was trading and perform conversions using fiat. more trusted than other exchanges

So can i download that apps sir.? From Playstore.?

This is also what i did. At first you should to invest to earn as much as you want, my investment is buying account here with potential higher rank then after that now i earn more than i expect now im happy in my earnings.
Buy bitcoin in trusted exchange site. yobit is also trusted but there are many altcoin are scam thats why be careful.

Buying Bitcoin will be not the best thing that you can do around this moment and that is because the value of Bitcoin is going to be higher and that is nice for people with already Bitcoin.
They just have now only to wait for the right moment to sell it so they can earn some huge profit with it.

That's true price is too high now so we cannot afford to buy at a moment, the best thing would be to earn as much as possible and hold it for the halving.

for me localbitcoins is best place to buy the bitcoins..you can get various deals there and buy from other people getting in direct contact with them..and it gives you ability to choose you own price ...

Try Mycelium Marketplace, I never try it before but I think it's worth to try.
You can read it here how to buy a Bitcoin there https://mycelium.com/lt/help.html

If you live in germany you can use bitcoin.de.
It works best if you open an account at the fidor bank at the same time. All you need is your personal ID card.
But it takes a few days to get opened.

It depends on in which country you are living in, as for me localbitcoin is the best and I also have some known traders so there is no scope of getting cheated.

you can buy bitcoin from a bitcoin forum. actually i have no money at all to buy bitcoin. therefore i personally have no experience that where can we buy bitcoin. but i think we can buy it from bitcoin forum.

Buying Bitcoin with bitcoin talk forum, main issue I had was how to transfer the fiat,
I tried cash mailing, deposit into seller bank account. Neither can be done quickly.

I think Coinbase only accepted for purchase with bitcoin. they do not accept you into bitcoin exchange fiat? I don't know for sure because I have not tried Coinbase wallet. if you want to sell or buy bitcoin better in exchanger dude

Im looking to buy BTC with skrill but not looking to pay 10% whats my best option?

You can buy bitcoin from exchange websites such as Yobit. You can buy it there with either fiat or other coins. You can also trade and earn more BTC. Here id the link to get u started:
https://yobit.net/en/

Hope it helps.  :)

Aint there a dollar currency there? I thought you can send some dollars then change it to bitcoin. Havent tried that though, i hope they have one. So many buyers now.

I can recommend also Paxful.com where you can buy bitcoins instantly. The support bank cash deposit, My Cash, PayPal and Western Union. Transaction fee is at 1% charge. They offer a Bitcoin wallet with 2 factor authentication, multi-signature support and merchant tools. :) :)

That's right not only to buy at the same time you can doing this for trading and I using it too, I never got a problem until now. but there is some exchange you can buy it from there. or you can try searching on your local exchange it's will make you more easily to buy bitcoin.

We can buy bitcoin from bitcoin forum very easily. but there are lots of more options to buy bitcoin. like coinbase and localbitcoin.com are the most famous platform to buy bitcoins. and there are a new sites started coinsbank.com which is also good.


well, I think this 10% is indeed to pay.. only one option here redeem your money from skril and then buy bitcoin with fiat. then you may get cheaper.

Coinsbase.com is a very dangerous site when buying bitcoins, Many people have a problem in it. They Have an issue that they couldnt get the bitcoin that they pay for. Its just my observations

no, i have never heard about any problem of this nature with coinbase.com they are a legit service that have been working fine for a long time.

there was some trouble for a short while that i kept hearing about it from a couple of "brand new accounts on bitcointalk" who said they didn't receive their bitcoin but sine they were bran new and didn't provide any proof it is hard to tell if they were trolling or were real.

I just buy bitcoin to my trusted friend. Buying bitcoin to someone you really know is the most safety way to avoid scam. Fast transaction and also  you can ask a discount from him unlike others that you can't as a discount. But in a friend you will. Ever since that i started in bitcoin i never buy to any website. But its up to you if where you feel really preferable to buy bitcoin.

I have never bought bitcoins in the past but I have heard that localbitcoins is the best and trusted place to buy them as the traders holds good trust rating so chances of getting scammed are minimum.

There are many sites exchanger you can try huobi,bitstamp,okcoin,kraken and many more. You just need opening account and make verification on there, then you can buy bitcoin. It is simple for buy bitcoins.

why buy if you can get them for free?
