Title: Buying bitcoins???
Post by: pezlow010 on September 03, 2013, 04:46:06 PM
I have been looking at bitcoins and I was wondering which market should I use to get an idea on how much the bitcoin is really worth? Mt. Gox, bitstamp, btce, or campbx? thanks guys for the help. I personally think bitstamp is more stable, but you guys are the experts.

I've had nothing but good experiences with using Bitstamp for purchasing bitcoin and using Blockchain as my wallet.

Awesome guys, thanks for the advise. I will try to talk to the guy about pricing and see we can reach a middle ground. I will look over btce and check their market data for the past week or so.

Mtgox prices are higher due to difficulties to withdraw dollars there, so Bitstamp gives a better idea of the Bitcoin market price.
Localbitcoin price may be higher than on bitstamp depending on how many sellers are at your location.
Btc-E has kinda low prices, because (afaik) it's difficult to get dollars into there.
