Bitcoin Forum

We all know of the importance of having cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, however it is not always clear where they come from. Here in America, my friends and I use Coinbase (https://www.smartbitcoininvestments.com/coinbase-review/) to purchase and sell Bitcoins, Litecoins, Ethereum, etc. We can also use Coinbase as a wallet and it accepts bank transfers as well.

I have a few friends that use LocalBitcoins (https://localbitcoins.com/) to meet up with locals in Los Angeles. I think this is inefficient since it can be time-consuming, however, there are some good deals and you can trust most of the sellers. I've also heard good things about platforms such as Kraken (https://www.kraken.com/) and Changelly (https://www.smartbitcoininvestments.com/changelly-review/).

In an effort to help the community, where do you personally go to purchase Bitcoins?

In my country the situation is pretty stressed up when it comes to buying and selling of the bitcoin. RBI which is central authority here has warned he local banks from denying the services to the crypto related bank account holders.

So we have only one option to trade and invest into the bitcoin and thats LocalBitcoin. I cant even think about the trading of crypto currencies into fiat currency directly as it would be tracked down and could lead to ban over accounts.

Now recently I am intrigued with the news that Unocoin one of the exchanger in India has now overcome with this situation by placing the ATM's in India. So I guess thats option #2.

Over in my state I use LUNO for purchase of bitcoin, it also serves as a wallet similar to Coinbase. You can store bitcoin, ethereum and even fiat (my nation currency).

So far it is safe and reliable, but requires identity verification.

 there are too many crypto exchanger all over the world you can choose for buying of bitcoin like for example binance, coinbene,kraken,choose the low price. You can check in localbitcoin they are low price from other exchanger.

I usually use coinbase due to its ease of buying. I did try coinmama too few times back then and was satisfied by their service. Though keep this in mind that using credit cards to buy bitcoin means paying for higher amount of fees. Sometimes the fees might seem absurd. So its better to buy through p2p using localbitcoins or any other alternatives.

COINBASE is the way to go when purchasing bitcoins. Most trusted, been in the game for years now... I wouldn't reccomend buying elsewhere just because its so secure.

Correct!! the situation in India has been worsened by the statement release by RBI and has made it really difficult for the people to undertake any crypto related transaction. Zebpay the most trusted crypto exchange in India was forced to shut down and that was a massive hit to the Indian crypto market.

And I was to also mention about the UNOCOIN, India's first cryptocurrency ATM launched in the city of Bengaluru. Right now the limit imposed for deposit and withdrawal is just 1000 INR, but still it's a shining ray of light for the crypto community.

It is a one bold initiative by the virtual currency exchange overruling the RBI's orders. Read more about this @ https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/india-s-first-cryptocurrency-atm-launched-bengaluru-90117

There are a lot of options to buy or trade bitcoin. I usually buy bitcoin in exchanges like kucoin , binance and coins. Those are the exchanges that I usually go to buy bitcoins or even other altcoins.

Here in my place I bought bitcoin at coins.ph but most often happened was from the bounty rewards which I received it from the campaign, every time I sell the token of course automatically converted at once on my bitcoin wallet balance. But never experience yet to buy it on localbitcoin.com which I probably heard most of the time.

I do buy btc at bigger exchanges and sometimes at p2p exchages.

Yes your bank account will get banned, if your bank account recieves funds from Crypto exchange or they are able to track the fiat source. But, only Private Banks are creating such issues. If you are using a Goverment Bank or a Co-operative Bank there is no problem As the law states you can trade Cryptos, which means you can still recieve/send funds. I have been using SBI and have not faced a single issue.

Currently, there are two ways to buy Bitcoin, the most widely used are: buy on the exchange or buy bitcoin from friends or personals. If you want to buy bitcoin at the exchange you can Buy bitcoin on automated trading floors or intermediary bitcoins. One way to buy bitcoin is to buy it from relatives, friends. Because,  relatives will be more reliable than a first person to cooperate without the basis, the sure information to trust 100% of that person. As a result, the percentage of fraud also decreased significantly.

I'm using the LUNO. The coolest thing about it is that we can store bitcoin, ethereum. For me, this is the safest way to buy.

I always prefer Over the counter system to Buy Bitcoin or meeting the seller in personal. I have been using Local Bitcoin and I can recommend it is the safest and the most secure way to trade Bitcoin. Most of the transaction I do it in cash and in small amount,

You should buy Bitcoin at reputable virtual show floor to avoid scams or buy from friends and relatives. If there are no relatives or friends hoarding Bitcoin. You can buy from other individuals or organizations. Consult with previous buyers to see how they evaluate the quality of the transaction, how reliable it is and decide whether to initiate a trade.

In my place buying bitcoin is like purchasing in a grocery store its very easy and simple process and you can get the bitcoin instantly after payment because the site that is using by the majority in our country which is coins.ph has a lot of partners like 7/11 store, remittance centers and banks, localbitcoins is also active but the price is much higher.

I think, all exchangers have bitcoin because bitcoin is the number one crypto currency, so you can buy in exchangers that you think are trustworthy and easy to use, and it's up to you where you will buy

unfortunately i never buy bitcoins since 2014. because im trully as a bounty hunter  ;D .
earn lot of bitcoin by selling tokens/assets. but alotof market exchange you can use to buy bitcoins out there.

I use to buy in bitcoin ATM thats standing in some places here in my country but now as our local wallets has already offers four kinds of cryptocurrency to buy,like Bitcoin,ethereum,ripple and .bitcoin cash it become more easy to be an investor,so anytime i have extra amount i can easily buy coins to add in my folio for long term holding

While we can't access coinbase here in my country, I usually use changelly since I use coinomi to buy bitcoin or other altcoins likely the fee is affordable and transaction was fast. It also cater shapeshift.

But normally, people buy in a convenience store and remittance center as well and directly stored in our local wallet.

When deciding to buy Bitcoin encryption, you can refer to Bitcoin price as well as how to buy Bitcoin quickly and safely. You can find out at reputable trading floors.

I myself bought bitcoin on the exchange of my country and it's safe to just happen, there are lots of places to buy your own stay, just buy where you like as long as the place you buy is safe and secure

From my point of view , COINBASE is one of the best choice to exchange BItcoin , it is popular and secure, IT is just my experience.

Well, it all depend on the country you reside at, some country try have site where they can buy from with fiat while some can only get it from merchant by taking fiat from them and transfer it to their wallet. My first Bitcoin was bought from a friend .

I would use a local exchange or someone that I fully known personally just in case I'm in need for those coins ASAP. Just use a reputable exchange so you won't fall into a scam or don't trade with someone you don't unless with escrow.

I only bought once in my country using person to person method. It is someone I know. I sent money to his bank account and he sent bitcoin to my wallet. I have done subsequent transactions on various exchanges using other cryptocurrencies to buy bitcoin and I have never had any issue.

Changelly.com is a great place for buying bitcoin and very easy platform as well.
There are some few places to buy bitcoin as well such as blockchain.com, crypto.com, indacoin.com, coinmama.com, and paxful.com.

I am in Indonesia and I use my country's currency, which is IDR. To buy and sell bitcoin, I use INDODAX, one of the exchange and wallet that accepts the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies to IDR

I prefer to make transactions in local exchanges in my country. That in my opinion will be much better and much safer. If something happens then I can do a much faster action. Instead of not trusting a large exchange, but for me that convenience will be a top priority in making transactions.

I use Huobi OTC or some P2P service that easy to find around me in my country.
dunno why you don't use Krakel that's great service alr

For me to stay on a safer side i usually update my wallet from LUNO which to me is more safer and convenient for use compare to others. At times i also update my wallet from Remitano.com which is more secure in handling of transactions and more customer friendly.

yes, coinbase is global, all people interested in coinbase, including me. but sometimes I buy bitcoin with paypal, and sometimes I use local exchange or real exchangers.

there are many platforms that provide crypto, so that's not a problem for us.

For me kucoin is the best to buy and sell bitcoins because its very secure you need a google authenticator, 2fa, emailconfirmation thats why i use it as my best exchanger at the same time a wallet i store almost all of my funds in it.

I've always buy bitcoin from my friend who has a service to help the other friends and me. So far, I don't have any problem because we know each other. Sometimes I visit on his house and in that moment, I can directly buy bitcoin from him. But I also have a good seller from my country in localbitcoin if my friend was offline and so far, both my friend and my seller have a great service.

I trust local exchange and never experience to buy in person because it is more safe when you used an exchange. Also you can order from what price you desire to buy to get good volume. I do not want to be scam by people around me. Using exchange can give the exact volume of the amount you are paying.

I mostly take payment in BTC, and when I need to buy, coinbase seems best for me.

I buy bitcoin only from the local market in my country, because it will be very easy to exchange my local currency with the bitcoin market in my country. In addition to the media to buy bitcoin, in the local market in my country, it is also my FIAT money shelter when I get profit from the Bitcoin trade.

I buy coins in the market like Bittrex, Indodax, Binance, and it will be very profitable if you buy Bitcoin for now and will benefit in the future. to invest in a long time will be very good.

you don't need to be difficult in buying bitcoin now you can go directly to bitrex binance this is the best place to buy bitcoin because I also buy bitcoin in this place.

All already, the people played enough of the bubble last year, when many strongly trimmed, got rid of their loot big players speculators, ordering advertising everywhere and creating a mass hype.

There are a lot of people who mine bitcoins in my vicinity and from them I mostly buy my bitcoins and they normally sell it to me a cheaper price than when I buy it from exchanges.

there are many way to buy bitcoin, sometime i buy bitcoin in some exchange systerm, or from any market.
i use my token to exchange to BTC too, so many way we can buy bitcoin now. Bitcoin is everywhere in internet and in the world.

That's right, but if I were to buy bitcoin on my friend, because there were so many friends who mine bitcoin and they would also sell it at a low price. so I prefer to buy at my friend because the price is easier than on the market

I bought bitcoin / cryptocurrency only on 1 platform that is in my country (Indonesia) which is at Indodax.com ... sometimes I keep it there. when I want to trade I make a withdrawal and I send it to binance, huobi, bittrex. I always pay attention to the market before making a withdrawal.

In my country, there are several alternative places to buy or sell bitcoin. One of them, and perhaps the most popular is in INDODAX. In addition there are LUNO, and several new exchangers. It looks like more and more new exchangers will emerge, hopefully with the addition of new exchangers. Later it will make it easier for us as a bitcoin community  :)

in my country there are several exchanges that can be used to buy bitcoin such as indodax and luno, which is quite encouraging is that bitcoin is allowed by the government to be used as an investment asset but unfortunately it cannot be used as a payment medium.

Actually, there are lots of market you can bitcoin but first country must a legit exchange site for you to convert your real money to cryto and here in my country we use coins ph. The convertion is just fair and almost the same compare to others. And for the next step. choosing what exchange market you buy your coin i maybe binance hitindex or anywhere you  want but make it sure it is legit.

in my country I have a local exchange for bitcoin. so I don't use other exchanges. because in my opinion this exchange is safer, has a clear office in my country, and supports lots of coins to trade. easy registration and transactions. and fast bitcoin shipping to move to global markets, such as bittrex, binance, poloniex, etc.

Firstly people geo- location will determine the best crypto exchanges or bitcoin ATM. However, I use localbitcoin and luno which I use mostly due to their fast transaction/friendly customer services.

Firstly I have to buy Bitcoin in my countries people then second round to buy some Exchange site bittrex, binance,hitbtc,kucoin.i think have been lot of ways to buy Bitcoin so keep claim your self where get you opportunity.

In the last 4 sessions, the market has tested this level on three occasions, but without finding the strength necessary to close above it. Yesterday ended in negative, with the price falling from 6,735.6 to 6,613.2 dollars, down by 1.82%. After the failed attacks, the market is now retreating and if the correction were to extend below $ 6,500, pressure from sellers could rise further.

I think I should definitely buy such bitcoin on a good and high quality market both of a COINBASE AND BINANCE even though I have not been able to buy a bitcoin I know it in a market like this which is the best of my knowledge and most of all very secure.

I buy BTC on CEX for GBP (https://cex.io/btc-gbp). Sure, I've heard about the exchanges you've mentioned but I was looking for the one which would accept British pounds. It's not the only reason why I've chosen this particular exchange, though. I was amazed by the security that it provides, even though sometimes I can't stand their extensive verification process :) I think, every trader will support the idea of security being the highest priority.

Here in my country we have a application on cellphone that you can easily deposit my money and also easily convert my currency to bitcoin in an instants.. I am happily that we have this also you can withdraw your money cardless

I use Blockchain and Coinbase both. Coinbase doesn't support to buy Bitcoin from depositing USD$ or local currencies for Bangladesh. That's why i try to buy Bitcoin from my few known persons who trade bitcoin, i pay them physically meeting and they give me Bitcoin to my wallet.

I bought bitcoin only once, through the stock exchange at other times I provided my services for bitcoins

make sure the exchange you use is reputable..i blindly used an exchange to buy an altcoin, but for some technical reason i cant withdraw.. but the support is shit..ie non existent so my altcoins are just sitting there.
so be careful where u send ur coins

Here in our country many sell bitcoins like Coins.ph, Using 7-11 is convenience store. And cebuana money transfer. I can buy bitcoins and it comes instant to my coins.ph wallet.

In my country there is a lot of issue going on between exchanges and government,due to illegal transaction.Before I was using zebpay but due this issue we are not getting proper response from it so now I am using Wazirx.

If you going to buy bitcoin you can go to the crypto exchanger where you can buy all kind of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin. You can also buy bitcoin through using wallet like coinbase where you can use your credit card to buy bitcoin. Its up to you what exchanger you want to use but always check the website before you buy.

Depends on which country you are living in. Its not possible in every country to meet with the locals and purchase in person. Most people use exchanges to bitcoin and many considers Coinbase to be the most reliable of them all.

if I have fiat, and want to buy bitcoin, then I always go to exchangers to buy bitcoin, in the form of vouchers, then I convert my voucher to bitcoin.

and it's easier, safer, and very simple.

This depends on the country you're in and the laws they have regarding cryptocurrency. Depending on this we can determine what would be a viable option to buy bitcoins from. In general there are a lot of crypto exchanges that you can choose from to buy bitcoins like, binance, coinbene, kraken etc choose whichever caters to your needs.

Once you have a Bitcoin wallet, you use a traditional payment method such as credit card, bank transfer (ACH), or debit card to buy Bitcoins on a Bitcoin exchange (example: Coinbase). The Bitcoins are then transferred to your wallet.

I bought btc and eth from changelly..u just need a couple of photos ready : your ID (back and front) and sometimes a photo of yourself holding your credit card (but hiding the 8 middle number of your card for security reasons). and of course you need your wallet(s) to be synced and receiving addresses ready etc.

I choose to use local exchange where I know that is more safe than buying on people. There you can choose the most potential coin and analyze the market chart also. Sometimes you can set your order and choose what price you want to buy. I invest not only in bitcoin but also some altcoins which has potential even for trading.

the good place to buy bitcoin is from your local exchanger, you can directly swap your real money into a bitcoin with local currency, without local exchanger or use the global exchanger you should change it first into a dollar before you buy bitcoin

bitcoin is a crypto currency that is sure to be on every exchanger, you can buy bitcoin from all existing exchangers, you can see it at https://cryptocoincharts.info/markets/info to view the existing crypto currency exchanger list.

My country don't have this strict regulations on crypto currency. Cryptocurrency has a free pass, now majorly i purchase cryptocurrency from luno. With an amazing app installed on my palm top, crypto purchase is just at my finger tip.

I haven't bought any before. My friend whom introduced me into bitcoin did the little one for me by paying evil for. But as soon as this great king(Bitcoin come back fully then i will inform where i bought mine.

There are many crypto exchange where we can buy bitcoin even here in our country. It is too easy to buy bitcoin as long as you have money to buy.

Some newbie don't know where to buy bitcoin, but thanks to you they now know. Exchanges are their number one store if ever they want to buy crypto. Anyway, if you were a trader you will know where to buy those stuff if want something to trade for as long as you do have money in your hand. I hope newbies would find this information as helpful to them since you posted it here why not move it to beginners?

I prefer Luno and remitano as its easier to use and its available worldwide ,luno supports not only bitcoin but ethereum and bitcoin cash as well and its been over a year I'm been using the it, it helps change to fiat with no problem even in countries where its not permitted

When buying bitcoin I go to some shops that accepting and selling bitcoins like convinient stores, money remittance and simple shops. When buying bitcoin I always consider the price because we all know that the price of bitcoin isn't stable. We must learn how to strategize ourselves in buying bitcoins. We nust also consider where to buy i  order to avoid being scam.

There are many crypto exchange site have in this market I have choice buying Bitcoin with some good exchange hitbtc,kucoin and binance,you can do it now buy and sales your Bitcoin money.

In my opinion there are lots of places to buy Bitcoin. Personally, i buy Bitcoin mainly at trading sites. I mainly buy Bitcoin on Binance or Hitbtc very fast and secure.

Strange that this triggered panic. After all, even a person who is far from programming, like me, knows that bitcoin has an open source code. Accordingly, the key encoding algorithm is known to all.

well, buying bitcoin is not of so much trouble because there are so many exchanges that one can buy bitcoin and other valuable tokens from in the market.I personally like to trade at binance because of conveniency and user-friendly interface at binance. Bitcoin can be found in almost all exchanges that we have all over the world that we live in now. Because bitcoin is now very popular and well known across the globe and even big companies are now considering receiving payment of goods and services in bitcoin so it very easy to buy btc in so many exchanges.

I prefer the famous Fiat host exchanges. For example, such as Bittrix and Lykke. Very convenient, without any special fees and problems. The only thing needed is verification.

it seems to me that coinbase is the most convenient way to buy itcoins and I use this particular platform

There are too many crypto exchangers all over the world you can choose for buying bitcoin like for example on Binance or HitBTC the low price. You can check in localbitcoin they are low price from other exchanger.

i 'm using LUNO to buy Bitcoins , i think it is a very secure way... and also  my one  friend  is buying bitcoins from coinbase .. So he has told me coinbase is the most good one to buy bitcoins,

The buying sites of coins depends on the region or country of the investor. Also, there are many sites for coins, you can use any of them as per your need and convenience.

there are lots form where you can buy bitcoin. my one of the favorite site is Remitano https://remitano.com/ which is safe and secured and it provides escrow service.You can use it id it is available in your country.

Bitcoin is also available here in our country so I can buy bitcoin anytime I wan't but you can buy also in crypto markets You can Convert you USD to BTC.

I go to a physical exchange because I feel like it's the safest way to buy and sell coins. It works similar to a bank. You give them cash and a QR code and they send you coins. You wait a few minutes for a confirmation and it's done. You get a totally anonymous transaction and don't risk that your account will get hacked or that somebody will try to scam you. In a physical exchange it's impossible.

Coinbase is huge trustworthy exchange and it's high popular for Bitcoin and Ethereum buy/sell. But i'm disappointed because coinbase network supported more than 30 countries. https://hitbtc.com/ is legitimate and top 10 exchange.

I usually use LocalBitcoins and national exchanges.
Localbitcoins is good and safety becouse it has a good rating!

Bitcoins can be bought on the Epayments website, where a fairly favorable rate and fast money transfer system.

In my country the government has not allowed online bitcoin transactions so we have to exchange electronic currencies like BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC on our remitato and converted to fiat, so many steps to be able to convert

In my country, it's illegal to establish a cryptocurrency trade platform so we use VPN technology break out the firewall to enter the website for trading. When we buy the bitcoin, we used to trade on HUOBI,Binance,Bitfinex or buy it from OTC.

Today almost every country already has a marketplace or exchange that provides or provides for the country's users to be able to make safer bitcoin purchases

I have been working with cryptocurrency and Bitcoin since 2016 and bought my first bitcoins on the Bestexchange website. After I got my first profit on ICO companies, I had never bought bitcoin, but only traded and deducted part of the profits. In our country, you can buy bitcoin, even through the bank.

Earlier I used websites, like coinmama, where you can pay with a credit card, but than I realised, that the fee is just too high. Lately I am using a small exchange in my country, where I pay with bank transfer. It has the disadvantages too, for example price can change, while the Fiat money gets there (1-2 hours) but still this is much cheaper, in average the fee is about 2% only.

Coinbase is trusted in exchange so that being the highest recommendation among trusted sites,even many have used it from years to years.Their wallets are also very unique in that the efficiency of the user can easily do to other users provided by their features,hitbtc I don't doubt the market's greatness with more alt and tokens available there.

I'm using Coinbase to buy coins, eth or ltc most often. Then I'm sending my new coins to an exchange and that's all, it's very convienient.

For me, the best place to buy currency is the Binance Exchange, a very convenient to use and adequate commission. I am not risking to keep them on the stock exchange, so I am bringing everything to a cold wallet.

You can find and buy bitcoins at major trading floors, or reputable ones to avoid fraudulent risks.

Local exchange were good and in buying bitcoins I preferred this. I have no issues with the local exchange with positive feedback on them. I can always rely on the exchange that I have been trusted the whole time I am buying and selling bitcoin. Fast, easy and reliable.

I always buy and sell all of my coins here https://indodax.com/ because I am an Indonesian, then that's is safe place to buy and sell Bitcoin or other Altcoins. maybe there are several other places to buy Bitcoin depending on where you like trading Bitcoin, sell / buy. but luno and coinbase is a good place to buy Bitcoin. only stay choose where we like to buy Bitcoin.

I withdraw and buy bitcoin only through reliable exchangers in my country. I never bought or sold bitcoins from hand to hand and I’m not going to do that

I am using https://coinbase.com since 2014 this is most reliable exchange and coinbase is united states company.
But i can't buy or sell using via coinbase because coinbase is restriction in my country. But i keep hold BTC,LTC and ZRX.
Binance is reliable crypto exchange i feel good to using this.

You can buy bitcoin without  to be cheating, I think you should buy it on the trading floor. For myself, I have close friends whom they are investing in bitcoin, I usually exchange with them and sell altcoin to them. So when I have the capital, I usually buy bitcoin from them.

I was using domestic exchanges to purchase Bitcoin but as of now, my first preference is localbitcoins as you can choose multiple payment options as per the convenience and their automated escrow system ensures security throughout the trade process and I never had issues with localbitcoins in last 2+ years. It might be slower than buying directly from the exchange but it is convenient for me so I prefer it.

Theres alot of bitcoin ATM installed in all parts of america so you can purchase anywhere’s you wanted

Theres also many exchanges that offers low fees in transactions

Here in my country our local wallets offers bitcoin and ethereum buying directly so its not really a problem here to buy bitcoins

there is only one official crypto exchanger in my country namely indodax, and I routinely use it as a market transaction. only those who can convert btc from / to IDR legally.

I prefer to buy more altcoins, but bitcoin remains the last conversion for long-term assets, markets like binance etc. are also my main source for buying bitcoin and even trading because of high volume.

in our country, Philippines, also has a wallet called coins.ph. Although it still has limited features because it only supports BTC, ETH, BCH, and XRP as of the moment but is useful for us Filipinos because we can ey exchange our money to crypto and vice versa in just a few clicks.

I think we can use the local seller in our city to buy bitcoin because we can meet that person in anytime and we can feel safe without worry about being a scam. It is what I did so far if I want to buy bitcoin because I have two local sellers who always helps me to get bitcoin and they can give a nice discount. Sometimes we gather in one coffee and make a transaction in that place, and it does not take too long to receive the bitcoin to my wallet. Besides that two local sellers, I use two local exchange to help me to withdraw my bitcoin too and so far, I don't have any problem.

For people new to crypto in the states you seem to be limited to Localbitcoins, Paxful, or Coinbase.
That's where I started out, but it seemed like the more you're in crypto, the easier it is to get more of it.

Here in our country, we can buy bitcoin through a convenience store because they have a machine that you can buy bitcoins, you can also pay bills through that machine in an easy way and fastest way.

i buy my bitcoins from coinbase, which is a very fascinating and wonderful way to buy and trade bitcoins in the digital currency market.

I use coinbase to buy bitcoins.

Personally I acquire Bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrencies on crypto exchanges such as Poloniex, Binance and Bittrex. In case of urgent purchase of Bitcoin, I use online exchangers. ”Bestchange” service  helps a lot to find the best price.

I followed some of my older brothers to safety pages to buy, so I did not know what to do. But you can rest assured that now many sources of safety are not worried about the future fooled.

In my country it's easiest to buy and get bitcoin,
Through the bitcoin ATM provided and also in Indodax VIP.
Therefore, for Bitcoin transactions it is very easy to process transactions with internet access that is quite supportive.
although currently in my country Bitcoin has not been officially legalized, but crypto support remains from the local government.

..here in the philippines,,i do buy bitcoin using coins.ph..this is the app i trusted most,,even if it is limited in features,,this is very useful for me to store my Bitcoins..however,,just what you have said,,there are many sites, apps and exchanges that offers Bitcoin for you to buy,it is up to the buyer/investors which of those are they trusted most..

Yes, I think in Indodax, the most appropriate place to buy bicoin if you don't understand can learn with people who know in advance, buy bitcoin and invest your coins in the future, it will definitely be profitable.

You could use https://www.coinbase.com to buy Bitcoin as it is the world’s largest Bitcoin exchange.

PROS
High liquidity and buying limits
Easy way for new users to buy bitcoin
Instant buy available with credit card as backup

CONS
Limited payment methods
May track how its users spend bitcoin

I hope this helps!

Great topic, many people just go to Coinbase or any other of the bigger ones just due to "flock behavior". Don't do that!

In order to find the right place to buy Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency really, you need to find out whether the exchange in question fits your needs.

We at Cryptowisser (https://www.cryptowisser.com/) has developed an exchange finder-tool called the  Exchange Finder (https://www.cryptowisser.com/). In it, you get 6 questions that you answer, and then you are matched with the exchanges matching your input. Do you need credit card deposits? Are you a US-investor? Highest acceptable fees? Cryptocurrency you want to trade? Those are all questions that the Exchange Finder helps you sort by. Alternatively, you can find the relevant information in their Cryptocurrency Exchange List (https://www.cryptowisser.com/exchanges/).

Check it out!

All the best,
Cryptowisser

To be honest I used different platforms to do so, all worked fine. 6 months ago I even paid with bitcoin for a property in Italy https://tranio.com/italy/ that was for sale with a special condition that you buy it only with Bitcoin  :) I love that it is all over now and more people are open minded and into this currency!

I use my local exchange to buy or withdraw my bitcoin, I have use my local exchange about last three years and I have use it because the only one exchange could withdraw my bitcoin become cash money and its really good way for me.

The people's Bank of China and the financial inspection of Shanghai began on Wednesday, January 11, checking the activities of the cryptocurrency exchange BTCC which led to a drop in the rate of bitcoin.

Provocateurs is why it is always ahead of the rest...I am amazed at the ability of people to escalate...Only benefit for people is absent-achieve the purpose language.

I personally never bought Bitcoin with Fiat. but for Exchange transactions, I see Bittrex, poloniex, coss.io, Hitbtc etc. are supporting the purchase of bitcoin with fiat via credit cards. but I often buy Bitcoin for my friends on local exchanges. because in my country is a pretty good bitcoin exchange.

Here in my location i use local wallet to use my bitcoin as payment or converting into cash in the bank
I also use coinbase to buy bitcoin using fiat usd money and after that i transfer it into my local wallet
I don't understand have an local bitcoin to use it as alternative for local transaction

In Indonesia, we buy bitcoin in the bitcoin VIP forum, there is also a trusted digital currency market, many token tokens are popular there. And the security is also very guaranteed, rarely in the forum where people lose their tokens, because their privacy is very well maintained ...

I personally use Coinbase,
which is the biggest and most respected Bitcoin platform in the United States.
It offers both an exchange and wallet in one,
making it one of the easiest places to start with Bitcoin.
https://www.coinbase.com (https://www.coinbase.com)

I buy my bitcoin from international exchanges. There are a lot of exchanges all over the world and the requirements for operating with them may vary based on the exchanges. We have few local exchanges in my country but I have never once patronize them.

I buy my bitcoin online in most cases is an online exchanges through trading which is a very easy way to get it done. It is fast and efficient. Especially with a good cryptocurrency trading site.

Bitcoin is the number one crypto currency, so you can buy in exchangers that you think they are trustworthy and easy to use. Before that you have to be knowing more well and good about the project.

In my country, Localbitcoin is still the most effective platform that we can use to buy and sell bitcoin. Coinbase is not operating in my country. Others optional platforms are apart from Localbitcoin are; Luno and Remitano.
Coinbase still has more work to do to extent it operation to many countries. This is their major limitation. If they can achieve this, they will come to be one of the platforms to buy and sell the major coins.

So far until now I only buying bitcoins (with my real funds/fiat) only on my local market exchanger called Indodax, it's required to do the KYC to be available for Deposit, Withdraw and Trade in exchange (as far as i know). It's very user friendly and it has a Live Chat Support, in case if we have some inquiries and problem about something regarding the exchange.

There are so many ways and place to buy btc, one way is thru coinbase or any other p2p platform or any exchanges.

I'm located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Southeast Asia is pretty illiquid when it comes to depositing fiat to buy crypto or vice versa. So far only peer-to-peer platforms works. I was previously using Luno (before they got shut down here), and now I'm using Remitano. Pretty easy to use, no issues so far. Anyone else here uses Remitano? Curious to hear about your experience trading there so far!

Hi, i have a question: can i totally trust binance, coinbene, kraken? I want to find the safest place to buy bitcoin. Could you share me your experience about this? thanks.

LocalBitcoins is when you buy bitcoins from hand to hand?
If I'm from another country, do I have to go to Los Angeles?

I often buy bitcoin in COINBASE. COINBASE is really good and safe for us to go to buy bitcoin. that is my experience.

I have never heard about localbitcoin. How safe is localbitcoin? can anyone give me some review about this site? I want to choose the safest site to buy bitcoin. Thanks.

Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency, you can buy that with the exchangers from whom you believe and whom you feel trust worthy.
 

There are many sites that offer to buy bitcoin. But many of them are not trustworthy (account blocked for no reason, bank transfer that never comes, etc..)  ::)

For large amounts what are the most secure sites to buy bitcoins ?
Where would you buy $100,000 of bitcoin in total confidence?  ;D

There are some good site for you to buy bitcoin like Bittrex, Coinbase, Localbitcoin,..

You should try binance. It is also good, fast and convenient.
