Title: noob question about purchasing bitcoins
Post by: clem84 on March 17, 2014, 02:55:38 AM
I want to purchase something from a website that only accepts bitcoins. I signed up with btc-e.com but they don't accept credit cards. Is there a place online where I can purchase a bit coin with a credit card or something?

Depending on where you live you might find someone local that will meet you in a coffee shop and sell you Bitcoins for cash.  It is the best (fastest) way to get a small to medium sized amount.

Try:  https://localbitcoins.com

By now you may have noticed the answer about credit cards in No.
Too many scams/chargebacks, sorry.

The most secure and user-friendly online wallet and exchange right now is Coinbase.com, according to my observation.  It is easy to buy and sell at Coinbase and they are secure.
