Bitcoin Forum

Hello.

According to you, what's the best way/exchanger/platform to buy bitcoin and send them for mainstream people ?

- Without knowledge of BTC
- Payment by credit card / Paypal / international bank wire transfers / Western Union
- Send it straight to a BTC wallet
- No time constraint, it can take seval days with money retention
- Medium amounts (300 to 1000 $)
- Identification with official ID is not an issue at all (added 12/31)

I just want things to be easy and simple (avoid intermediate steps such as convertion into dollar linden).

Thanks a lot :)

Search on google.com
or use coinbase.com , virwox.com

Google led me here :p

Ok I'll have a look into coinbase.com , virwox.com.

But if you have other proposals I'll take them :)

Virwox is good but the fees are just terrible. Localbitcoins can be a better option for bitcoin transactions and you can have P2P transactions as well which makes it more safe for users.

There is no way to satisfy all those constraints. The best you are going to find is Circle, Coinbase, or LocalBitcoins. The most convenient is Circle. The fastest is LocalBitcoins.

I think average joe should buy at an exchange like kraken or coinbase. The coins bought will be automatically credit on their account.
No need to do some tech savy things like transfering your coins.

If you identify yourself (ID card etc.) coinbase is very easy and fast. I just linked my bank account and could transfer money and buy bitcoins very easily.

Ugh, Coinbase is horrible.  They'll close your account for almost nothing, and forget about staying anonymous.  Plus I do believe there's still a delay in getting your bitcoins after you put in a buy order.  You could do wesellcrypto.com, but their markup is incredible.

I think wesellcrypto.com and circle are the best if you ID verify yourself.

Probably https://buybitcoins.io will suit you
You can buy up to 12 BTC per transaction without sending any ID

Hello

I updated the constraints:

Ok so I think that Coinbase won as 3 people suggested it :)

Coinbase.com 3
Circle.com 2
Virwox.com
Localbitcoins 2
Buybitcoins.io 1
Wesellcrypto.com does not work

Coinbase would be a good one to use or if you can find a local ATM then you can just feed your money into it and get your bitcoin that way, not sure how recent this is but it might help http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-atm-map/ or google search your local area to see if there is one available.

Localbitcoins is a great way to exchange cash for bitcoins, and I like it because of the fact that you can check for reputable members or services. As well, it's in your area, so it becomes easy to find someone to regularly exchange bitcoins with.

I feel for more conservative people, or people that don't know much or are apprehensive, that Coinbase is the choice.  Being California based helps and I think they are becoming a trusted giant.  For myself I have a couple wallets.

I have used www.buybitcoins.io buying 2.5 without no problems. no verification. instant payout.

I have bought several amount of bitcoin with local currency via localbitcoin. But the rate is quite high than market but it is like most secure if you can meet the people near you face to face. Good luck other option required lots of steps, verification, fee etc.

For paypal: try virwox, circle (I don't have experience with them) or any other exchanger like bitfinex,btc-e if you are ok with verification process.

Just found out their exchange if you want to transfer your bitcoin back to fiat is quite high compared to any others listed. Can anyone verify this? I didn't think they were as high as using virvox or circle.
Cheers to all if they can help demystify this assumption for us.

Is Gemini a good exchange for buying bitcoin. It is a regulated exchange based in New York.

I think virwox is probably the easiest way if you don't want to provide ID, however I think circle is the best with ID.

Unfortunately most exchanges for credit card/paypal have really low limits, so you'll only be able to buy tiny amounts at a time.

Head over to localbitcoins.com.Make an account,use your debit cards/bank transfer to deposit money.Find a bitcoin seller near your area with an option such as online buy/hand to hand pay ,buy bitcoins at a suitable rates from a trusted trader.

Hello
My feedback : I experimented Coinbase.com.
Got verified in 10 minutes, payed by credit card, got my bitcoins in 15 minutes.

join local bitcoin and just meet up with someone at like starbucks. You can have your
bitcoin pretty fast and not risk losing your money to some scam.
