How to buy BTC.
Maybe someone doesn't know how to begin.
Suppose this article can help.
Everyone is curious as to what bitcoin is and how one gets to earn it and spend it. Bitcoin is the most famous and biggest digital currency in the world regarding market capitalization and the market share where there are no intermediaries to handle the transactions. Microsoft Co-founder, Bill Gates has a lot of faith in Bitcoin to the point of saying, "Bitcoin is a technological tour de force."
According to Leon Louw, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, every informed person needs to know at least about bitcoin since it has the potential to become one of the world's most significant developments.
The best way to learn about bitcoin, is to jump in and get a few in your "pocket" to get a feel for how they work.
Despite the hype about how difficult and dangerous it can be, getting bitcoins is a lot easier and safer than you might think. In a lot of ways, it is probably easier than opening an account at a traditional bank. And, given what has been happening in the banking system, it is probably safer too.
Before getting started, you will need to get yourself a wallet. You can do this easily enough by registering with one of the exchanges which will host wallet for you. And, although I think you are going to want to have one or more exchange wallets eventually, you should start with one on your own computer both to get a better feel for bitcoin and because the exchanges are still experimental themselves. One can buy bitcoins directly from other bitcoin users via marketplaces or through exchanges, and one pays for them through hard cash, credit or debit cards, electronic wire transfers, other cryptocurrencies, PayPal, et al.
Wallet is a way to store your bitcoins. Specifically, it is software that has been designed to store bitcoin. It can be run on your desktop computer, laptop, mobile device (except, as yet, Apple) and can also be made to store bitcoins on things like thumb drives. If you are concerned about being hacked, then that is a good option. Even the Winklevoss* twins, who have millions invested in bitcoin, put their investment on hard drives which they then put into a safety deposit box.
The next step is to fund your Bitcoin wallet and start placing orders.

Very insightful. Especially for new investors who are just coming in and do not understand the market or how to get bitcoins without much stress. Thank you for this.

not only those 3 markets.
You can buy btc in so many markets with variative price. i think i prefer binance for newbie trader, it serve a good user interface and chart indicators

asked by many people who have had experience and then discuss it first and then buy it new and need experienced people to buy bitcoin.

Don't forget Bitcoin ATM's. If you live in or near a major city there is likely one nearby. Simply have a mobile Bitcoin wallet app and deposit some cash, scan your Bitcoin QR code and done. The fees might be a bit higher but nothing beats the convenience.

There are countless numbers of exchangers today. Aggregator exchangers Bestchange offers more than 20 options for exchanging rubles for bitcoins.

Exchange options for bitcoin on the Bestchange service

You choose the most profitable online course and then follow the link instantly go to the exchanger's website, where there is a direct exchange. Each exchanger has its own requirements for the minimum amount of enrollment (min 2000 rubles - min 5000 rubles). Some exchangers take a commission, some not, but as a rule the price of the exchanger is significantly higher than, for example, buying bitcoin on the exchange.

For example, the leader of the Bitochek exchange offers to buy 1 BTC for ₽ 294 640.59 (as of August 30, 2017), while the average price on the crypto-exchange exchanges is ₽ 254,365.74 (as of August 30, 2017). The difference is more than 15%. Is it possible to buy bitcoin in the exchanger? It's up to you, but it's best to find out what alternatives are available.

"You can definitely buy a cue-ball," you will say, and you will be right. Payment systems are also involved in the game. However, it is necessary to make a reservation. The payment systems themselves do not sell bitcoins or any other crypto currency (yet). These are the same exchangers, and the only difference is that the transfer of rubles is through the purse of Yandex.Money (or the purse of any other payment system).

However, we note that e-money buying bitcoins is more profitable. For example, the exchanger Rubitok offers 1 BTC for ₽ 274 424,13 through Yandex.Money, which is about ₽ 20 000 more profitable than if you buy a crypto currency by transferring money from the card. By ruble exchange, Qiwi, Advanced Cash, Perfect Money, Payeer and Paypal are most common.

The most interesting way of exchanging rubles for bitcoins, from the point of view of savings on the commission, is the purchase of a currency on the exchange. The popular resource of WorldCoinIndex includes the listing of more than 400 crypts on 50 exchanges where you can buy bitcoins (and other crypto-currencies) for dollars, euros, rubles and less common traditional currencies (about 15 in all).

As far as I know: To trade bitcoin you enter "Trade", under BTC price you will see two parts, one is Buy BTC, one is BTC Sale. All purchases are available here.

Buy bitcoin on BTC-e

If you want to buy BTC, you will buy BTC Buy (left). Here you can buy Sell units in Sell orders or create orders to get better prices.

If you choose to sell, just click on one of the sell orders in the sell order list (note the top is always the cheapest order) and the number will automatically add to the beginning, you only modify the BTC to buy. At BTC and then buy BTC is completed, buy successfully.

If you want to buy something cheaper, you can make a purchase by filling out the Purchase Order, specifically the BTC you want to buy at BTC, enter the price you want to buy at the Price for each BTC and then click Buy BTC. . And then you wait, when the price on the floor drops to the point where you set prices will definitely have the seller for you, and you do not need to do, the system will automatically buy for you, even if you are not online. If the price is not lower than your order, no one sells BTC to you because the system can not automatically buy BTC for you, you can only cancel to create a BTC at higher price.

BTC Sell (right) is for you to make BTC orders, just like you buy it from the Buy list or you can create your own order. to sell for a higher price.

Bitcoin trading at BTC-e takes place automatically, no need to get your wallet address, nor get your wallet address to send to the seller.
Surely there are other ways?

The newcomers should read this thread and as you mentioned, the information provided is very useful. Usually the new investors go in loss because of unavailability of authentic and desired information. New investors usually don’t have enough budget to buy bitcoin or other good altcoins directly from exchanges, they need to go for signature campaigns and understand the markets one has posted about.

Firstly you need a good wallet, for example blockchain info.
After you should go to exchange with your usual money and buy bitocin.
Then you can send your tokens on the wallet

You can buy BTC on a exchange

You’ll also need a “wallet,” a place to store the digital currency. (You’ll need one of these no matter which exchange you might use.) The wallet stores your private key, a secret number—a 256-bit string—that gives you access to your Bitcoins. Your private key also allows you the freedom to move across marketplaces. Just because you purchased Bitcoin on a particular exchange doesn’t mean you have to stick with it; your private key ensures that you can always access your wallet, whichever marketplace you use.

You can buy Bitcoins directly from other people using online marketplaces, no different than any other product or service. Alternately, you can also use a digital currency exchange or broker such as Coinbase, Bitstamp, Kraken, and Gatehub. Coinbase is one of the biggest U.S. cryptocurrency exchanges. For a beginner, it’s best and easiest to use one of these exchange.

The safest way would be to buy them in person for the first time so the beginner into crypto know how the process works and see it while it happens.
It could be viewed as a learning method so to know what to expect when the transaction is put through the blockchain
because if done online it is hard for some to comprehend what happens after they send their payment for bitcoin and what happens next.
If they had a mentor to tell them step by step what happens then the first time buyer will better understand approximately what they are to get in return and how long it should potentially can take even with the advancements that have taken place in the past few months of the blockchain making transactions faster and essentially cheaper too.

People just have to look at the different fees that are charged with the different methods. Some prices are very inflated with

trading fees and all.  ::) The one-on-one method is also very risky for people in countries where Bitcoin is banned and also the

possibility to get robbed. Be very careful when you trade with someone {face2face} There are a lot of scammers out there and

credit card fraud is rampant.  :o

Best Sites To Buy Bitcoin:
1.iq option
2.eToro
3.easyMarkets
4.Trade.com
5.cex.io
6.AVATRADE

Also, if youre planning to buy bitcoins, and you based in Philippines, there is an easy way to do it. Just download the app coins.ph and top up any ammount you want, then you can convert your money unto bitcoin in just a seconds :)

I think the newbie would be more appropriate to trade on Kucoin exchanges than Binance. After using Kucoin exchange for a short time, I found Kucoin interface very easy to use.

i prefer buying bitcoin with coinmama.com they are more secured and trusted website for bitcoin purchases

All the ways are reduced, in fact, to one - the search for an exchange service that will take your bank money from you and give the bitcoins (BTC). Even if you already have experience of payments on the Internet, prepare yourself for the first feature: most of these services will not offer you anything, except semi-legal and semi-familiar methods of replenishment.

I think How do we buy BTC If you have crypto currencies such as Ethereum (ETH), NEO, Doge and so on, you can buy Bitcoin in the following way:
1. Buy Bitcoin in binance
2. Open an account on Binance.com, then you can buy Bitcoin (and altcoin) using crypto
    that you have.
3. Exchange another crypto with Ethereum in Changelly
4.You can directly exchange the crypto you have with Bitcoin (BTC) on Changelly.com website

This is an informative topic and I guess this will really help a lot of people to learn how to buy bitcoin specially those who just started their accounts/beginners. There are still a lot of ways to add to the list but still very helpful. :)

indeed this thread is very useful, and true you say, as an investor or a newcomer traders should read a lot on this forum to do research and information about the coins they will make as an investment or to trade, many new investors and traders when these are falling for their own fault, who never do research before they invest or trade.

Thanks for your article, it should help many newcomers who want to buy bitcoin.
for me, coinbase is good to start buying bitcoin. It has a good UI and can run in your mobile phone.
other than coinbase, maybe you can buy bitcoin through your local exchange.

Choose from whom you will buy currency. Now it can be done in online exchangers, exchanges and privately handled. We will not write about the latter type, because this is not the best option for beginners: you will have to agree on a personal meeting, transfer cash to the seller, and then wait until he/she transfers bitcoins to you.

bitcoin is better now not to buy and sell for a faster time and invest in other projects for crypto for example as Socratus

I have traveled through many cities but actually, I have not seen any bitcoin ATMs in the cities. It seems that ATM Bitcoin has not been built because the government does not allow it

Very good with the information, but this should be at beginners and help. Here in my country we only need a phone application that is named coins.ph and in there we've got to buy bitcoins with some shop prices or vouchers. Great app!

formula to buying the bitcoin l think that is the many exchangesuppliers in the market. But we should research trusted exchange for easy transaction.

There are lots of ways to buy Bitcoin but what I followed is to use xcoins as they are a partner company of simplex. Thanks

If you want to buy Bitcoin for cash than the best place to find someone from whom to buy would be local bitcoins. And if you want to buy from an exchange than Gemini would be a good option. But the problem with exchanges is that you will require to get verified by providing your personal documents which not many people are interested in.

Many exchanges sell bitcoin you will find on google. But i suggest to buy in big exchange or popular exchange like bitrex, binance, bithumb, indodax and many exchange who have credibility. You can also trade or invest other coin or token. But if you want to invest long term period i suggest to move you bitcoin in offline wallet. This is my opinion. ;D

I usually use Coinbase for BTC vs USD and BTC vs ETH trading. It is very easy and fees are lower than other exchanges. But Coinbase supports to the very limited amount of countries. Cex.io is also good to exchange and it supports a lot of countries than Coinbase. Currency Bittrex also facilitates fiat trading. Before depositing the money, clarify the rules and regulation that may affect bank transactions in according your region or county.

If you want to buy bitcoin without knowing to your bank then it is much better to buy from localbitcoins.com site where you can buy or sell directly with the users by direct banking so you don't have to show in account if you want. If you buy from exchange then you're Bank can get details of you're cryptocurrency trading as this exchange details will be revealed

If you want to buy bitcoin or sell bitcoin, we can do the transaction at Localbitcoin. There, we can buy the amount of bitcoin we want to buy. Payment on bitcoin purchases depends on the price set by the market. If buyers are interested, they can deal directly with the seller in person.

really very useful information for beginners who have been feeling confused, this paper is very appropriate to be distributed to the beginners in the hope that we can all become a family Bitcoin with an emphasis on comfort among the community

BTC can be purchased directly in an exchange or through an otc transaction on the website. It is convenient for an otc transaction to be purchased directly without an exchange.

I mainly use two sites and I work with these sites for about one year.
1. Coinbase
2. Cex.io

Coinbase has low fees than cex.io but it does not support the majority of countries. cex.io support almost all county but fees and prices of the currencies(bitcoin, Eth etc.) the little bit high than Coinbase.  Now Bittrex is supporting fiat trading. I think it will be good but I didn't try yet.

Platforms such as LocalBitcoins will help you to find individuals near you who are willing to exchange bitcoin for cash. Also, LibertyX lists retail outlets across the United States at which you can exchange cash for bitcoin. And WallofCoins, Paxful and BitQuick will direct you to a bank branch near you that will allow you to make a cash deposit and receive bitcoin a few hours later.

This times!, there are many ways you can buy bitcoin and altcoin!
You need money in your Mastercard or Visa account! You can buy it anywhere!

There are various exchanges that can be trusted.

With card how do you mean to get the money into bitcoin or altcoins mate. I do not know understand that. If you want to use the exchange for changing your crypto currencies to fiat or fiat into crpytos these both will be done on localbitcoins.com

Please check the good trader on localbitcoins.com and open the trade with them to have safe trade. Then the fund will be locked in the escrow side so there would not be any problem mate.

It was very easy to buy bitcoins, you can always choose any exchanger to place your money and convert it to cryptocurrency you are interested to invest then start trading in the market.

I think this kind of articles are very good for beginners because there are lots of people buying bitcoin with credit cards because they don't know about other ways.

This topic really helped a lot of people learn how to buy bitcoins, who are embarrassed when they step into the Cryptocurrencies market. I feel very satisfied.

To buy bitcoin, you must updated to what happened to the market, to know when to buy,
because the first quarter of the year is a good chance to buy, it have a low price that affordable to your budget.

As we all know that bitcoin is very sustainable, versatile and volatile crypto currency and because of its volatile nature, its valuation keeps on flactuating so you need to be very precise while buying and selling of bitcoins. Though bitcoin buying is not as tough and difficult as it seem to be , just go to one of bitcoin exchange and buy the bitcoin from that exchange who is providing you the best rates but I will again repeat that you have to very wise while buying and selling of bitcoins

I'm a newbie. I'm wondering where to buy bitcoin. Thank you very much for the post. I will buy bitcoin on Coinbase

Maybe those exchanges are their favorite sites to buy Bitcoin or those are their local exchanges but you're right, there are lot of exchanges to choose from just choose the best exchanges for you because some are poor in performance during transactions and the others are much expensive to purchase but when you will about to sell your Bitcoin to them its become much cheaper than other leading exchanges.

Quite nice, but do you ask yourself if these people you mentioned are also investing in Bitcoin🤔 well we don’t need to talk about that here, let’s just discuss the main topic. For newbies if you don’t want to have risk while buying Bitcoin you better not go to the black market or buy from just anyone. Be careful on who you’re buying from cause some of them will just make away with your money without giving you what you ordered for.

Im lucky because my country create wallet and they called coins.ph  and I easily to buy bitcoin. Your lucky too if your bitcoin wallet are supported to your country. But mostly people can buy bitcoin in the trading or exchanges site by using they ATM or credit card.

In this online industry, there are too many ways to buy bitcoin. You can buy bitcoin in your won bank but most of the county still now not approve bitcoin so you can buy only USA bank as I know because my brother deposits his bitcoin via bank. You can buy bitcoin via locality and you can also buy BTC via Airtm. Airtm is a very popular website for sale and buys any kind of cryptocurrency and fiat money.

I think we do not forget to bring Bitcoin ATM. If we live in or near a big city, there is a possibility nearby. Simply have a Bitcoin mobile wallet app and deposit some cash. Now this can be done in online exchangers, redeemed and handled privately. We will not write about the latter type, because this is not the best choice for beginners.
