Title: How do you buy bitcoins if you live in the middle of nowhere?
Post by: Meow on April 08, 2013, 12:33:36 PM
I live in Thailand and I am having a hard time buying bitcoins. Many people in U.S.A. can use Bank of America of Western Union, but I only can make online payment. I see many post that it is difficult to trade bitcoins with paypal on here. I am considering buying on ebay, but it is very overpriced there. Tips or suggestions please.

I am a bit uneasy to trust websites that are not approved/much spoken about. I will look more into them though, and will try to get into contact with that user. Thank you!

I don't know about your specific situation, but this is exactly where *working* for bitcoins would be useful. If you have no way to purchase them, do work for them. If you have no skills, well, that's a different story.

Anything can. Can you write? There are a lot of bitcoiners who write blogs who will be happy to pay you in bitcoins.

Can you do web design? program?

There are heaps of jobs on the following sites that you might be suitable for... (note, these aren't recomendations. I've never tried any of them. Do your own research)

or if you have skills, post on bitcointalk letting people know what you're offering. "I'm a great t-shirt designer, I'll design you a t-shirt and mail it to you for xBTC's"
