Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

Ive been investing small amounts in Bitcoin and ethereum for a year or so now but i wanted to ask what is the best or easiest way for a newbie to buy the currency now. I have a coinbase account so im able to purchase quickly if need be but so many buy sites make it very difficult for newbies to make such purchases in quick time. What is there out there thats on board and safe for anyone wanting to join the market quickly and start investing in such currencies?

Kind Regards

Griff

a newbie is best stay away from Ethereum as it gets dumped hard most of the times and a newbie doesn't naturally know what to do about it. only experience traders know what a pump and dump is and how to make money from them.

as for bitcoin, if you already have a coinbase account then you have found a rather easy way to buy bitcoin already!

For BTC I always use LocalBItcoins. Buy them with national bank transfer (quicker like you need) or meet in person. If seller is online you can get your BTC in 10 minutes and not to mention that they offer better value than exchanges like coinbase

That would be true that if your friend is still a newbie he or she should stay away from Ethereum I really think it is too soon for him to invest in it, and just stick to bitcoin for the time being, read first the many thread that are helpful in certain thing that will let you earn, trade, and invest, you should start with the basic,

And I am exchanging by bitcoin or other crypto's with poloniex and you can sure trade from it.

Trading in alt coins can be risky and probably not good if you are new to trading and crypto.

Arbitrage trading is profitable but also risky, even not say around altcoins thay are much more, you have to be train your self before starting to do

If you have a Coinbase account, then you also have a GDAX account, as they are run by the same company. GDAX will let you perform instant market buys and sells, and transfers between Coinbase and GDAX are free and instant.

The most easiest way for a US/UK citizen is obviously coinbase. But if you are someone from a smaller country its difficult to buy cryptos especially ethereum. Easiest of all ways is to buy bitcoin using any local bitcoin provider and then exchange those bitcoins to ethereum feom a top exchange like bitfinex or bittrex. This is really easiest of all the ways.

thanks guys

I was asking not for myself but i have some friends which want to join the journey but when they initially sign up to i.e coinbase it takes so much time for verifications etc to be finalised and then they are restricted to the amount they can initially purchase thus having to sometimes wait weeks before they can buy enough to invest what they want or need etc

register on a good exchange, for example bitrex or livecoin and from the exchange to buy coins.

Coinbase honestly.

before getting to know Ethereum and investing it would be nice to hold on to bitcoin for now, read through the many threads. very helpful in certain matters that will trade, and invest, should start with the basics.

I dont think there is any difference between the way a noob buys crypto currencies compared to how an old hand hand does it. Coinbase is safe enough and the preferred method although it leaves a lot to be desired as first orders can seemingly drag on forever. Local bitcoins is also an excellent option.

At the beginning I was buying bitcoin from Paxful. Many people at Paxful are very honest and trusted, although Paxful has receive some negative reviews on the internet. I have bought also bitcoin from Spectrocoin, that was very good for me. At Paxful you havve to discuss with the seller of the bitcoin and you have some conditions, at Spectrocoin it is very simple to do this. It took me 5 minutes each time to transfer the money, buy the bitcoin, and withdraw the bitcoin.

You can first try to buy some on Coinbase, which is one of the most famous and oldest website  ;)

Paxful is good and all if you know who you are dealing with, a lot of the accounts are bought and sold and there are serious scams being carried out there. I'd advice the OP to steer clear of paxful as a newbie, same as the currency exchange section of this forum.

localbitcoin, bestchenge, long ago became badchenge, but I personally bought from a friend at the rate of the central bank

It is easy for newbie to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum from Coinbase. Just submit identity verification and it is good to go.

Alternatively, localbitcoin is another choice. But IMO, coinbase is much more easier to use.

Since you are newbie, I think you should have invested in ethereum and bitcoin after a few days. Because to gain a good profit by investing, you must have experience for that. To be efficient, have courage, self-confidence, patience. However I do not have any idea about Ethereum. So I am telling you to buy bitcoin for long term investment from a good site. You will be much more beneficial in this.

My opinion is, those who use new Bitcoin can now buy Bitcoin.However,It would be best to understand the opportunity.For example,Bitcoin was down a few days before this post reply. Then I bought some bitcoin.I have benefited a lot.I think bitcoin may be $ 10000 + at the end of this year.so buy and hold bitcoin all newbies.

My honest suggestion is that all newbies should look for reliable bitcoin platforms where they can first of all learn and gather as much information before they take the plunge. Don't fall victim to scammers because you are in a hurry to get in. Arm yourself with information, for it is power!

localbitcoin is still my top priority choice

the best way to buy bitcoin is via coinbase and localbitcoin and in philippines i think its coins ph

well, i will prefer both of but Trading in altcoins can be risky as well as if you are new to trading than it can't be good for you. So, as my opinion i suggest you to learn more about trade after investment.

To buy bitcoins, we have many websites they can allow you to buy bitcoins for USD. but localbitcoins is good you can find it nearby your place, and it is worth. I will buy bitcoins in my local BTC exchanging website. They do not give an accurate price, but still, it is ok for me because don't have any other source to buy bitcoins.

Just buy a couple of altcoins and keep track of them with twitter and blockfolio app and then u learn how the game works. Worked fine for me earn a couple 100 dollars a month now!

https://www.gdax.com/TRADE

best place to buy Coins.

0% fee when u use the limit order option!

youtube it for tutorials. Its easy!


Edit: GDAX is the sister company to coinbase so you can transfer it back over to follow the market when your on the move with your iphone :D

You may be right about that, but I do not think it's a problem if someone already understands and gives him instructions on how to transact, because everyone needs time to study and understand it slowly, if he is silent and does not ask about trades he may not understand how to play trading .

The best way for a newbie to buy bitcoins or Ethereum is through p2p method, it's easy and also if the person want to be anonymous it's the best thing he can do. As exchanges imply kyc and require all your personal details and the chances of those details to get hacked is always present, so there best would be to visit local board of your country here on the forum and then contact sellers who are trusted and never contact sellers with a negative trust.

If you're living here in the Philippines, you can buy bitcoin here anytime. With the use of coins.ph you can buy bitcoins and sell your own bitcoins. Coins.ph is the reliable wallet here in the Philippines. But if you're living outside the Philippines, you can use coinbase instead. It is also good as coins.ph. You can also buy bitcoins in there instantly.

There is a option to buy them on your online wallet. Most of these wallet have the option to buy instant bitcoins to your account. Blockchain is safe and trusted.

You can buy some bitcoin with that. You will not buy large amount of bitcoins but you can buy them every day a small ammount like 50 euro.

i just started trading bitcoin and ethereum recently as well.  I find trading on Gdax pretty easy to use and the fees are very low.  haven't really tried any other exchanges but from most accounts, gdax is one of the better exchanges to buy and trade on. 

The price of bitcoin has been increasing dramatically for the past six months, so I think for newbies buying ethereum would be a better option.

Whether you are a newbie or you are a senior Member of this forum you will buy any crypto currency just like all, You can buy your Bitcoins from localbitcoins and then you can exchange your Bitcoins for ethereum (by doing that you can earn some money too) , You can directly buy your ethereum too just find a good dealer with good price and buy it.

You should start with the basic, it is true that it's hard to cope up if you start with etherium as it has so many things to do and it's rapid pump and dump and their value is not that satisfying unlike bitcoin, when you buy bitcoin you invest it in a small amount, wait for it and you'll see it will expand. And also, ranking can help you earn more bitcoin.

well friends I m also a newbie first of all I want to earn lots of bitcoin here then thing about it

The fact is that you must first find a place where you can buy the etherium for real money. After all, I'm a problem for a beginner will be that he can not even bring his own tokens without an ether.

Hello
First of all you should always state your country while asking a question like that because in every country the answer that you will get is preety different.
When we talk about it in genral terms there are certain things that you can do to posses Bitcoins:-

•Download an offline wallet thats used by most local people in your country and you can easily buy bitcoins after verification.
•There are local boards in every country where people can exchange Bitcoin , you can manually search for ypur country on google, basically there person to person deal takes place thus you don't need that much verification and all
•Even on forums you can ask for bitcoins and then pay , more or so you can trade with people who are willing to sell
• last option is that you can always earn ;) using a little time and lots of efforts obviously

There's a plenty number of online exchanges where u can buy any amount u want  or from your local area traders ( which is more confident)

There are now many crypto exchanges that offer the option to buy bitcoin and ethereum for fiat. One option is to use localbitcoins.com which matches up buyers and sellers in your region.

it actually depends on how much money you will put for investing. if it is less then 1K usd then buy eth, otherwise go for btc.

U can create an account on coin base
As u can buy buy Bitcoin and Etherum with Usd
Also u can create account on localbitcoin
As u can buy bitcoin with best price in ur area
With all my best wishes
Regards

You can buy bitcoin and Etherum through friends or on reputable trading platforms. You can use bitcoin and Etherum to trade to other altcoins and make a profit from this.

you can buy bitcoin with fiat money in many change site for exemple coinbase or cex.io offer bitcoin with fiat money than you can deposit in exchenge and buy eth or any other altcoins .
https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2343234-how-do-i-buy-bitcoin-with-a-debit-card-in-the-us-

Buying from a popular exchange like coinbase. Coinbase ia a trusted source of bitcoin and I would recommend against exchanges like localbitcoins for newbies.

do freelance , and here do bounty , you only need to make some efforts to gain more $ , and you should be patient .

There are many more easy options to purchase bitcoins and Etherum. You can simply register to any of the good exchanges like yobit, livecoin, cryptopia, etc and start exchanging your altcoins there. I think you are mentioning about trading. Keeping an eye on each transaction is a must and also you have to notice each and every dip so that you can get a good experience in trading and you can quickly understand what trading is.

According to me, exchanging the altcoins is pretty much easy but trading with them is too hard as we need a ample of knowledge to start the trading and also understanding and staying the dips is too hard.

But we have to know that buy in coinbase then we do not have private key, now we can buy Ethererum directly in myetherwallet.com feature, store ethereum in myetherwallet.com, of course better and more secure because it can have full control.

The best way to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum is to invest any little cash you have at hand and then grow from there. Or one can start trading in little crypto's and then profits made from there could be used in purchasing Bitcoin or Ethereum.

For long period-both

For sure you do not buy ethereum or bitcoin because the ethereum is too late before and even a lot of investors in ethereum are still rising as well as bitcoin because I'm too late to buy a bitcoin at its very high you're good to stock your money with other coin like neo, bcc, ltc and omg as a newbie you need to go to youtube and watch how to start trading bitrrex or poloniex.

its really good to buy bitcoin now because now that is ber months people are really wandering where to invest because they will be receiving their bonuses and all investment will really pump so as to bitcoin it will pump high soon before the year close so invest now, same with ethereum this altcoin really crash from the top but im really into it because of its market cap and its smart contracts..

At the moment, purely technical bitcoin is better than any other cryptocurrency, token or digital asset. In this regard, bitcoin has a certain influence on all other cryptocurrencies, but on the other hand, ethereum entered in market only a few years ago, which allows people to participate in the development of this currency.

OP you can try to hodl your bitcoin, however I think ethereum will also increase its value in a long run, perhaps you might want to invest 50-50 in both coins so you could not lose anything.

P.S Ethereum for me is the second BTC if somehow BTC disappear or deprecated ethereum will step up, and the price will be a moon!

the best way for newbie to buy bitcoin and eth.
in my opinion, you can buy bitcoin or eth in localbitcoin or in coinbase. it is more easier to make  transactions in coinbase for newbie.  ;)

In my country there are a few legit websites that sell Bitcoin and usually I tell my friends to buy from them as transactions are usually fast.

There are some good exhanges where you can purchase btc and eth but for newbies, I suggest not to spend all their money yet. Only spend the amount they are willing to lose. Also be careful, make sure that you are sending your money to a legitimate site.

However, I don't think it will be easy for newbies to buy bitcoins and most especially ethereum that quick because before an individual enters the world of investors and traders, they must be knowledgeable and well-experienced first. I, myself, is still learning a lot from reading discussions here because there are risks to consider before plunging into the world of trading. As of now, I join signature campaigns to earn bitcoin. I am also interested in alt coins but there are so much to learn.

The best way for newbies to buy bitcoins would be through www.localbitcoins.com the best way to buy ethereum would be through an app called Changelly where you can swap coins for BTC for low fees.

Bitcoin and ethereum are the 2 best coins at the moment, so I suggest keeping the coins. now almost all trading sites provide bitcoin and ethereum, and for the newbie then can start invest by looking for bitcoin and ethereum for free, and this forum is the trust for a reference.

Newbies and experienced users will used the same method as long as they are fine with the fees or comfortable on they chosen methods to buy bitcoin. So basically the easiest method will be applied to all users whether newbie or not.

Availability on your area is more important. If the exchange supports your country then do some buying there. If you aren't comfortable with the fees then find another one. The answers you will get here can't be applied to you since different people have their own "easiest way to buy bitcoin". I suggest to consult your local section so that it will give more closest possible response.

You can easily buy bitcoin at localbitcoins.com using your money in your bank account. You can also buy bitcoin directly to a person who have bitcoins but be careful with scammers. Investing in a bitcoin or ethereum is a good choice as they are two best crypto currency at the moment. Keep HODLing it and you will see result after 3-5 years.

Best place for newbies to buy bitcoin is probably - localbitcoins.com

It’s safe, quick & easy to use, I’ve never had any problems there.

Before you invest and buy  bitcoin or etherium you have to make a search on sites who makes the invest and buying that two cryptocurrency with lower fee of transcations

I think it's Etherium, bcz less money is needed to buy it. If you mess up or lose your wallet, you won't will be thinking about killing yourself. BTC is a big game with big prices.

Well that's the most common site for buying bitcoins out there so yeah probably the one out there. Anyway, if OP has already had some experience on buy and sell stuffs and know things about those work then better buy on P2P since you can buy them lower and without any fees but you must always have a trusted Midman and I think you can find someone selling on Digital Goods sections on this forum.

The best way for beginners if my suggestion is bitcoin because I think bitcoin is very profitable income ,, and also the price is very good can rise in the highest price continues ...

for that I suggest in bitcoin only because the result is very profitable ...

The best way to buy etherium or bitcoin if you know that are the two is...make some research with the two coin...and you must know how to trading in market....you should buy bitcoin or etherium when the price is low and sell the etherium or bitcoin when the price goes high..

I don't think it is really hard to find a place to buy ethereum for real money, You are here on Bitcointalk.org you can create a thread and find a person and meet him and just simply buy your ethereums, Also, you can use some online exchanges to buy ethereum no worries!

moreover there are now even dozens of local exchange sites in different countries and they can directly use their local currency to buy lots of cryptocurrency not just bitcoin, there is no need to confuse where to buy cryptocurrency, because there are many services that already provide sell / buy cryptocurrency, I think even a newbie will not have trouble to buy bitcoin right now

Yes for newbies bitcoin is best because bitcoin is easily understandable and used all over the world and also have a profiting nature as compare to ETHEREUM, bitcoin is more versatile and fruitful it fulfill the needs of every investor whatever he wants to do with his money bitcoin give this ease bitcoin can be used as currency as well as investment so better choice is here now and you have to invest in it,

 I'm a part of this forum.But few days ago I was a newbir member of it.But now I'm a jr.member of it.I want to invest small amounts in Bitcoin and ethereum for a few days.It is the best or easiest way for a newbie to buy the currency now. I have a coinbase account so I'm able to purchase quickly if need be but so many buy sites make it very difficult for newbies to make such purchases in quick time. So I think that the best way for newbies to buy bitcoin or ethereum

For newbies localbitcoins.com will go a long way for you even if you're a Sr. Member here.  Or for my case, I'm living in the Philippines and the best app dor my to cash-in for bitcoins is Coins.ph. I can buy credits at our local 7-11 stores and immediately turns into BTC with just one click.

Localbitcoins is a good option when buying bitcoins because you are dealing with real people selling at different prices. So you get to choose the seller whose price is most appealing to you. Localbitcoin is quite fast as most sellers will release the escrowed coins immediately they get your payment.

Buy it through Bitstamps. So easy.

+ you can then easily track your holdings via ∆ Delta (https://getdelta.io). :)

for beginners may be cultivated more careful of fraud, better first to ask a friend who knows better before making a purchase,

I guess buying ethereum through blockchain.info is pretty easy and kind of noob friendly, watch out for phishing sites though.

I suggest you have a thorough understanding of both first because there are things you discover as you go deep into crypto currency. With a comprehensive knowledge you can decide best way to get your coin

bitcoin is very highly increasing more than ethereum, so i thing The best way for newbies to buy bitcoin

I suggest newbies that they should start investing with altcoins like ethereum. Because altcoins have less risks than bitcoin. But you like having risk, it is up to you. Bitcoin is also expensive than ethereum. If you are rich enough to invest with bitcoin, you may choose bitcoin too. In addition newbies have to learn more about cryptocurrency.

Just buy them on big exchanges for a good price you know you can easily miss and use that to buy other coins this way you will expand your profit in other coins and you will ear a lot more from them instead of only investing in bitcoin or eth.

The best way for starters is just to buy them at blockchain. Make a wallet on blockchain and you can quickly buy some bitcoins and also ETH. Blockchain has added ETH.

So you can buy btc and ETH on their wallet. Plus its safe and a trusted wallet.

Coinbase has to be the easiest for newbies. It's a company anyone new can trust. They don't have to keep them them there they can just withdraw it to one of their own wallets where they have the private keys.

My opinion: if a current newbie wants to invest in this market. Better to invest in ETH. ETH is very potent and it will grow with bitcoin. The thing to do is buy ETH and wait for it to rise

Ohhhh NO!!! Ethereum is great blockchain for smart contracts.
Do you really think Ethereum has potential to increase market capitaliz. ??
In my opinion, Litecoin is the currency which is undervalued and have potential to go up to $500+
Litecoin should also take the scene of micro-payments from "tired" Bitcoin.

Bitstamp offer buying coins via SEPA and credit cards, but you need to be verified.

But last month ETH have no growing, and BTC close to double up its capitalization.

Eth isn't growing nor on a dump but rather it's stable on it's 300$ mark and there's no reason for it to pump or dump right now since there's no event coming yet for it unlike in bitcoin which a fork or some kind will happen soon that's why it's price skyrocketed these days but it will be sooner or later that other altcoin specially ETH to pump once bitcoin goes stable and it's event ended.

Its both good but i think i go in bitcoin because this is good anytime not like eth and also i think wait until the eth will go similar to bitcoin before you do buy if the eth go good like this now i think it can be similar in no time to bitcoin see bitcoin and eth now the price is really good now and all of bitcoin user and investor see the potential of this to coins in terms of payments tools

The best way is using local bitcoins or coinbase. The former being my most preferred method because its simple and quick. Using exchanges generally take longer, yet with locabtc your trade will not last more than 10min . Once you have  the Bitcoins then you can transfer them to a multicoin wallet (like exodus and coinomi) then split half to Ethereum

While you are just a beginner, unfortunately Ethereum can not master you. Although maybe I'm wrong, it all depends on your knowledge and intelligence. At this stage, stay in bitkoin. But besides this, read a lot of information and study all.

when you are a newbie, to be sure go for BTC instead of altcoin, big fluctuation of the main coin can give you some gain while with alts you need to be a bit more expert before start to trade and earn.

its better to buy altcoins at the moment
because bitcoin is big fluctuation and the high risk. I suggest you to buy ethereum.

If you want to buy bitcoin as fast as possible, then you buy it from your local market or from local seller. just find out in around of you. It's easy way to buy with your cash. And now bitcoin is in huge price so it's best to buy ethereum now. I suggest you to buy ethereum now it's upon to you what will you buy.

i feel that localbitcoins dot com or some of this kind peer-to-peer exchange service should be one of the most convinient and fair ways to do that!

Everybody's opinion was very helpful.
Thank you very much. :D

in my opinion before getting to know ethereal and investing in, better understanding bitcoin for now, reading a lot in forums, very helpful in certain things to be done, and investing, should start from the basics or the beginning.

Localbitcoin.com is a great and large site for buying and selling bitcoins. Its a secure and safe way to buy bitcoins. I myself use this site to buy bitcoins and for selling. The seller should be online if you want instant money he can send your cash into your local bank in just 10-15 mints.
Ethereum can be buy from exchanges only and there is no local exchange for it as compare to bitcoins. I usually prefer Poloniex to buy Eth.

In my country there are a few legit websites that sell Bitcoin and usually I tell my friends to buy from them as transactions are usually fast.
Some of them are currently closed because some of the banks closed accounts that are used for BTC trading tho :(

If you know people around you that have bitcoin you can buy from them if you are  a new person in cryptocurrency world. Make sure you have a trusted person that will give you proper guidance.

Bitcoin of course, buying bitcoin is more efficient and wise choice to do. Because of this they are rest assured that their money is in the good hands and can get a huge amount of interest for just short period of time.

If u have in your country Local Bitcoins seller buy from them it ll be more easy for u and u can also withdraw from there very quickly and easier.

Coinbase is relatively easy to use for me. I started with that and will recommend newbies to try that out. User-friendly.

responding to you on Dec 9, 2017, the best answer is DONT! Look at how much the price has advanced in so little time. caveat emptor ;)


bu for when things simmer down, and to answer your question in good faith, it depends on where you live. Assuming you live in the States, Coinbase is your best option hands down from a risk standpoint. They are insured, are practically in the bed with banks so account integration is smooth, and they are fast as the average stock trading platform (3-5 business days, and the gold standard of business transactions). Kraken is pretty decent as well, with a lot of the above advantages, but a less user friendly interface. followed by localbitcoins. easy to use, but very easy to get scammed if you dont know what to look for ;)


Basically, look for a major lic. exchange. upon failing that, localbitcoins or bust. everything after that is dodgy.

Maybe for all newbies, maybe you should learn more about bitcoin and ethereum, you  can also read about bitcoin and ethereum , so that you have an idea about it, but if you want to buy some ethereum or bitcoin, maybe you should ask for help on someone that already knows how to do it.

If you buy it in coinbase, you have found the right place. Never buy bitcoin or ethereum to a new website or that has a bad reputation. You will lose your investment and certainly your time.

I think it's Etherium, bcz less money is needed to buy it. If you mess up or lose your wallet, you won't will be thinking about killing yourself. BTC is a big game with big prices.

LocalBitcoins is also one of the easiest ways to buy bitcoin and other altcoins such as Ethereum, or you can also use Xapo but mind you; the fees are high for me but it is very reliable.

I always point people new to crypto to Coinbase. Easy to use and figure out. Let's you get a taste of how everything works and watching the market with something of your own actually invested. Start with BTC or ETH on there and research/learn about things from there. Look into other exchanges and coins. Coinbase has high fees from what I've heard. Still worth it for a simple process and security for most new people though.

As much as possible, stay away from Ethereum and go for Bitcoin instead because the process is simpler plus the transactions happen every now and then that can guarantee your profit.

Since I've been using both for a while now, please stay away from Ethereum because their process is more complicated. In Bitcoin, as long as you have the coinbase, you are good to go.

I buy both eth and btc from time to time and I've used numerous services for that aim. So far I stick to https://cryptonex.org platform.
There you can pay with your Visa or MasterCard in any currency; exchange for USD or EUR is made at your bank rate.
I like that it's very easy and safe to make purchases there and the fees are not that high, you know. 

Localbitcoins, I think.

Please buy some on the exchanges or black market and store in the cold wallet

You have to an account on an exchange. Using an exchange based in your own country is most convenient as it saves time to transfer and withdraw money.

Both coins are good. But if i will choose one, i will go witj bitcoin. I choose bitcoin because everything in this cryptocurrency world starts in bitcoin. Every people here were hooked up about bitcoin. Most of use entered here with small amount of knowlege about bitcoin. Thats the reason most of us preferred bitcoin. Bitcoin as of now is most well known coin here in cryptocurrency. But it is always depend on what you choose. Everybody's opinion was very helpful so make a research first.

CEX.IO lets you use your credit card to purchase crypto. They charge like 3 per cent or something, but their prices are a tad high.

The best way for newbies to buy bitcoin or ethereum is patience. You must stay strong and be optimistic everytime

Well for me to say, I would recommend to a newbie like you between those crypto currencies whether Bitcoin or Ethereum, you better choose Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a much easier to use currency than to the other for me. But I am not saying that you stay away from Ethereum. Thy are both good currencies but it just happen that I preferred much Bitcoin.

You have a coinbase account !! so, you can buy Bitcoin and Ethereum easily. For the newbie he can use the exchanges but he must be careful because he don't have experience for that and he don't fall victim to scammers.
My advice for newbie is : the best source for learn  is your experience.

For a complete Newbie I'd have to say stick with Coinbase, when any of my friends ask about buying them I point them in that direction. It's an easy entry point and the app is pretty easy to get up and running, once they'er familiar you can then look into other options like LocalBitcoins/Coinfloor

Both are and crptocurrency as a whole is extremely volatile.
As a noob you are likely to lose the shirt off you back and have your skin flayed.
It can be a fast path to quick riches but given that 85% of traders don't make this trading thing work. There is an extremely high probability that you will fail and fail fast.
Good luck

I think for newbie it seems the most secure and comfortable you should buy bitcoin because only bitcoin can provide a very definite advantage.

I think, that the best option is Localbitcoins, but there you can buy only Bitcoin.

Coinbase is fine, but the limit if you just want to use your credit/debit card is so low..... to just sign up and buy...

Localbitcoins--->  Just forget it, Best case scenario, you have to go make a cash deposit into someones bank account and upload a deposit slip with a paragraph written on it, all for about 7% markup.....

-  Then withdrawal those coins for another fee,



I seriously suggest Coinmama....  You signup, get verified in like 30 minutes if its during business hours, and you can buy with your debit or credit card like up to $10,000/month, and the fee is just 5%.....  (which is high, and I wouldn't recommend if you literally were buying $10,000....  but for a small amount, fuck LBC or Pax, Coinbase is good, prob the best, (its just the limits in the beginning is a small issue)...



So I say Coinmama....

INVEST, TRADE AND HOLD this is what I do to earn bitcoin oe ether because it's the only way I know how to earn a bitcoin because it's the way I get to bitcoin and earn something..you can have both..

I am buying and selling bitcoin via Localbitcoin.com and this is the best way for buy bitcoin because all worldwide peoples can use this platform also they get sellers rating and feedback so their is no problem in deal also we can compare different sellers price. we need to do National bank transfer and then deal completed, first we need to verify on localbitcoin, via driving licence or ID.

The best way to buy or ethereum Bitcoin is cash through middlemen! This is a costly but secure way!

I also, like the colleagues above, advise you to register on the bittrex exchange
