I managed to find an old thread about it here > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1765.0 Apparently there was another site with almost identical name: https://www.buybitcoins.com/ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=987.0 The link now gives a Your Connection is not Private error.

The article posted in the end of 2010 and it tells you some sites that accept credit card, they are cex.io, virwox, and coinbase. You may check the link for further information but I'm not so sure whether the information is true or not because I knew about bitcoin 4 years after the launch.

At this time Coinbase and Cex.io didn't exist :) (Coinbase is about 6 years old and Cex.io ~5) @keychainX If I remember correctly, during a time, MtGox had a card option (and even Paypal but it was removed once it started to deal with Bitcoin). It's something you could check with Archive.org. We talk about debit card right? (not credit card tied to a loan) Title: Re: Credit card purchase of Bitcoin in 2009/2010 Post by: keychainX on April 20, 2019, 03:22:10 PM @Bitinity At this time Coinbase and Cex.io didn't exist :) (Coinbase is about 6 years old and Cex.io ~5) @keychainX If I remember correctly, during a time, MtGox had a card option (and even Paypal but it was removed once it started to deal with Bitcoin).
