Im so sick of trying to buy Bitcoins With a hassle on my credit card !!!

who? I actually didn't get it why you chose this title ???

There's better ways to buy buttcoin than the KYC sell your dna way.

It's easier to buy other e-money first then exchange it to bitcoin. If your card is connected to paypal, maybe you can buy BTC from trusted seller?

U.S government is trying to take over btc by keeping records of everything btc related. I suggest you just buy it online at an exchange or something.

I'm thinking of buying a few bitcoin by sending it through moneygram. There are a few people in LocalBitcoin.com that accept it as a form of payment, and they don't over-charge too much. They're usually selling at a 2% above market rates. For me, it's the most convenient way to do it (anonymous, too) as the fees on the exchange I have available to me are above the fees of the moneygram transfer. I would suggest that route for you too.

see,im from alabama and cex.io wont sell to me do to a licence problem, the closest local bitcoin guy is like 100 miles away, there is no BTC ATM's, i dont wnt to get scammed by someone i dont know and the rest wants so much data on me it scares me since i am using the darknet with the funds... what to do..... :'( :'( :'(

no exchange wont let me im from the usa....let me try bittrex

nope , you cant even buy btc on bittrex, i tried yobit and there payment system does not allow USA residents since 2013

Well, that's how screwed US residents are because of bitcoin. Good thing there are no such regulations existing here in our country.

If LBC wouldn't be your bet because the nearest one from you is 100 miles away, why not buy other e-currencies first before buying bitcoins? Idk how would that work out, but it's a way of evading those invasive KYC methods.


I assume you're using a hacked credit card?

no its my personal

well those is weird being blocked by usa governement ,as usually they wanna control everthing they can or think they could.About bitcoins credit card is really hard to get them,i guess users here would sell their bitcoins but to a debit card or other way .

It's easy, you can ask any of your friends who are not living in USA to buy it for you, and sending bitcoin to you is just a few clicks

Well, with localbitcoin, you don't always have to meet, or even be in the same state. Like I said, I'm thinking of using moneygram. There are some people that ask for cash deposits (https://localbitcoins.com/buy-bitcoins-online/cash-deposit/ (https://localbitcoins.com/buy-bitcoins-online/cash-deposit/)), you can look for a bank in the US that works for you (though for that, I suggest you browse into those options, rather than using my link, cause then, you'd get more useful listings.

i tried local bitcoins and entered my password in 3 times wrong and the tried to reset and they banned my ip for an hour then i reset my password and it said it will take 2 weeks because i had 2nd password google authenticator on months ago and got new phone so im locked out of local coins until then

I don't have friends i can trust outside of USA....i do have a friend in NJ  but she will have to drive to the bronx NY to go to ATM and that means i have to pay even more

I know coinbase is easy but i don't have bank account info. all my funds are on a prepaid card from a affiliate program (a investment in precious metals)  in canada ...just a prepaid mastercard loaded from my account

Have you tried checking out the currency exchange section on this forum? There's a lot of trusted here and if you want more security, there are some reputable escrow here

if you can't buy in any ways, then you can try to earn bitcoin, via mining or signature, if your electricity is not bad(around 0.2 max) you can buy the new antminers s7 and generate bitcoin with that

or try your way through signature campaign, or another thing, would be to sell stuff here, for bitcoin

Yes, it's really amazing what they are doing in the US, the land of free. I would never comply with the KYC and the rest of the crap which leaves you with two options.

Either you will find somebody on the currency exchange thread of this forum, but somebody with the high true rating and arrange a trade with him, or you find somebody for a face to face trade if you live in the major US city. Both options are riskier than exchanges but take your time, use your judgement and you can finish the job quite successfully.

Good luck!

The US has turned into a police state long time ago. It's just crazy what is going on there with all that monitoring, controlling and exaggerated regulations.

well the only easy way is to find a exchanger here and buy small ammounts ,i guess a good reputation will not screw you because some bitcoins....,anyway usa is killing other currencies and market maybe those rules has some effect to usa has the power they have .But i wouldnt like to be there because soo many restrictions ,you cant do normal things like buy bitcoin well moove country ,travel to somewhere and buy the bitcoins you wanna.

Yes, I have windows 8.1 and my update keeps telling me to upgrade to windows 10. I found out from anonymous hackers group that windows ten is designed to monitor everything including Bitcoins .Thats why its free. its also really hard to leave the country if you dont know anyone in the country you are going to as well. did you now we get fined if we live off the grid !!! The American dream is dead due to socialist. I hope TRUMP become president only because there is no strings on him......I still cant find bitcoins,i guess i should look for someone on here in the marketplace but it scares the hell out of me.

Yeah I heard similiar things about windows 10. Especially if you wanna install it not be default but user-defined it's still a hassle to switch off certain features. Don't update to that shit. I will continue using my actual OS.

Regarding coming elections. Do you really think Trump what be right choice? I'm not american but I listened a lot to what he said and how he behaves. And in my opinion that guy would be a completely nightmare for the US.

The thing is all the other candidates are nothing but puppets and the American people know it. I just said yesterday they should all wear jackets like race car drivers so we know who is sponsoring them !!! The world economy is crashing..china will fall soon and take other countries with it its already happening.TRUMP is a businessman and knows how to make the country richer and that's what we need. The fact he speaks his mind and has no political correctness make american people feel they can relate.Obama has really destroyed this country doubled the deficit gave foreign countries nukes tried to change the constitution by taking away our firearms made a healthcare system in his name renamed mountains  im sorry but he's a socialist pig. The difference between socialism and democracy  is socialist stand in line to get a loaf of bread and democratic republic have bread on the shelves waiting for them . This is why europe is flooded with refugees right now...  all flooding to democracy . America is the heart of the world and we fight everyone's battles and give so much to other counties and we get shit..Everytime someone goes to war guess who they call..not russia or china brazil not even Britain ..they call the USA ! Trump will charge every county money "unless its in our interest like killing innocents" for all this money we are dumping on foreign soil and get rid of Obama's deficit .

Fianlly tomatocage siad use circle.com and i am so happy it took less then 3 min to get 100$...only 100$ is limit a week and i needed $120 but im very happy i didnt have to go thru anY BS

Well, I'm glad you found a way to buy your Bitcoins, but yes, it is true there are a lot of restrictions in the USA to buy Bitcoin. It's too much of a threat to the US Dollar that the government is doing everything it can to stop it from becoming mainstream. Still, you got some Bitcoin and that is good.

Just register another account in localbitcoins, forget about the frozen one

BTW, it is not so easy to make so many mistakes in a row, I guess you must be a non-IT guy, then better do not touch bitcoin before you have done further research, otherwise you might lose your coin soon and you will never figure out why  ;)

Is the 2% cheaper than the Virwox route? I guess it is, but Virwox was one of the fastest ways, but had the biggest fees.
Anyway, I think its a real problem, in USA its getting more and more annoying to buy BTC with all the regulations, so you are stuck with LocalBitcoins where you can't do trading (if you are into that).
If you want to hold long term just buy there.

actually im a very good IT guy   lol  its just google had the wrong password for the first entry and i didn't know they would lock it after 3 times. so really i guessed twice. but you know when you have so many sites you have like 5-10 passwords

You can try the localbitcoins approach, but do it in smaller amounts if youre worried about getting scammed in person.

Also I suggest while youre trying to buy bitcoin, you do whatever to build your rep so you can purchase options bigger on the exchange thread.

And theres certain times you can buy w. paypal like certain sellers who already have the green rep thats of course repeating customers only route.

Well what else do you expect? Credit card fraud is one of the biggest frauds the internet and ecommerce has ever experienced. Bitcoin, a decentralized currency, and credit cards, which are supported by the bank, simply don't mix. Besides the principle of the two interfering, the fact remains, credit card scammers will always want to find ways to cash out the funds on the card, into real cash. Bitcoin will always remain a target which is why exchanges will never take credit cards.

Buy physical bitcoins - Casascius are the best.

I don't think you should worry too much about the information these companies ask for, it says that the country considers the currency and it's industry are legit, to be respected.

casascius are nice, probably your best bet for physical coins.

my one issue with them is in case you ever needed to liquidate btc fast, those can make things tough.  I mean, if youre willing to just part with the coin premium and redeem the face value of the coin then you lose the premium value, which in some cases can be pretty significant, esp if its a graded coin.  Just somethign to consider.

Imagine if you were to buy Bitcoin from a 3rld world country.

They would ask for dental prints, biometric data, fingerprint, retina scan, voice scan, and family tree documentation :D :D

Well i found that circle.com was the easiest to get BTC.It took only three minutes with a mastercard but i am only allowed $100.00 a week untill they trust me which is fine. I't took me a while to find a good one.Thanks to tomatocage he told me about circle.com and said it was best for the USA abd he was right. very easy signup and speed, was great .   :)  

When I first got into bitcoin, about 6 or 7 months ago I decided to make a trade face to face in LocalBitcoins, although the trade went fine, I felt as if I was doing something wrong when I wasn’t so all this regulations seem to me to be over the top.

I agree..it almost feels like a drug deal. t because you're doing a deal that most people don't even understand what you are doing and you are meting strangers to buy something

Well, it depends on how much money you exchanged. If he was paying you a big amount, then it was most certainly a crime because I think it's illegal to do exchanges of money that go after X amount untaxed (again im not sure, I have never done big exchanges of cash money and probably depends on the country) and the thing is with Bitcoin you could trade millions if the guy had millions in cash to give to you.

i must tell after getting a little weak in ftont of government fedral i mean usa is gonna apply some strict rules to all tge bitcoiners present in the usa i will advice do not buy bitcoins with a card anymore always use a phisical method of payment yo buy bitcoins

Thanks for the advice

Wait, so why is it not a reasonable solution to buy btc from circle or xapo if you are in the U.S.? I mean they may charge a little bit, but you can buy btc as long as you have funds in your bank account.. ???

i think you misunderstood  circle.com was the best anwser

 I am sorry,Do you really have that kind of restriction in USA,kind of madness,i ve been thinking you joke
here i can buy btc even through sms or in money machine without using any card,just cash,or in shop
it is same easy like to pay for prepaid sim card

some states here is harder to get BTC i live in bum fuck Alabama and there is no BTC anywhere but go to NY and they have a BTC machine

Oh yeah, sorry you are right... didn't read the post thoroughly.


Yeah, that's the problem with living in the south... I live in Georgia and tried to look up people selling btc on localbitcoins.com and there was like maybe 1 or 2 people within a 100 mile radius.  Can't wait to get my degree and leave the bible belt...

exactly my problem so used circle.com

whats up with that? i hope it would be much easier to buy btc if you are from usa!

Have tried with coinbase? If you don't know is a bitcoin wallet. It is the most easy way to buy and sell bitcoins. There are some States when it is not possible to sell/buy bitcoin from that but in all the others it is not a problem.

Maybe just swallow the bitter pill for now and give some information to buy some coins now it is still relatively easy.

What if it becomes even harder and you still need them? Just buy as much as possible before it gets more strict.

LOL! I also want to, if my urine can be sold with bitcoin  :D xixixi
