Title: Newb question: Where to buy bitcoin with CC or Wire? Post by: ipolic on July 13, 2016, 02:39:59 PM Hi, sorry for newb questions, but before spending and wasting cash like I once did with ether, I would like to ask community first :)
My friend needs to buy only 1 bitcoin for some transactions. He would use either CC or Wire Transfer. What is best/safest place to do that? I will recommend him to use poloniex for keeping bitcoin on since I use it for my ether deposits/trades (beside my cold wallet), since cold wallet is too complicated for him. Thank you!

In my opinion, Gemini is best for Wire Transfers.

Post by: ~Bitcoin~ on July 13, 2016, 02:44:10 PM I think most of the trusted exchangers like bitfinex, poloneix, coinbase and even btc-e accept deposits via wire transfer however it may take few business days to get those transactions approved and confirmed. Therefore its better to find a local guy selling bitcoin at current price and deal with him face to face.

Again maybe the problems have been solved now, but as far as I know a bank transfer was the best way to go.

Post by: Dudeperfect on July 13, 2016, 05:21:19 PM I will suggest localbitcoins, you can select the listing which accept wire or cc as payment options. Make sure the seller has good reputation on site as well as outside. I have personally used localbitcoins and had good experience with it, so that doesn't mean you will get the same experience. Scammers are everywhere, research before buying from anywhere.
