Title: Credit card & bitcoin Post by: glub0x on August 27, 2011, 09:24:18 AM Hello, i m kind of a new user and i think the main problem of bitcoin is how hard it is to buy some.
I mean Mr lambda do not know anything about Dwolla Redeem MtGox code Liberty Reserve Paxum GBP Deposit Australian AUD deposit And he doesn't want to use thoose 3 Cash or Check International wire Euro Bank Transfer He doesn't even know how to google anything... Mr lambda has a credit card that he uses to buy anything online. So i'm wondering why Mr lambda has no way to do it with bitcoin? I would like to go any where type my credit card number and get bitcoins.

I would like to go any where type my credit card number and get bitcoins. can you use your credit card to get a money order? to buy apple stock? unfortunately, because of chargeback risk and merchant account restrictions there is essentially no ability to purchase bitcoins with credit card. that's just a limitation without a solution. the alternatives (e.g., exchanges accepting bank transfers or dwolla) aren't terribly inconvenient for most, so bitcoin can probably do ok without there being an option to purchase them using credit cards.

The best way to do it is go to CVS and get a GreenDot Moneypak and use it. Some merchants accept these as payment.
