I find trading on the exchanges so much more comfortable have you tried mtgox.com ? Title: Re: NEW need Bitcoin in LA Post by: drewtaz on February 13, 2012, 05:35:51 PM There's a ton of good online market places you can exchange for USD.
https://btc-e.com/ works well too if you have other things like NMC and LTC. Title: Re: NEW need Bitcoin in LA Post by: Stephen Gornick on February 14, 2012, 01:25:22 AM Your quickest options are to:
1.) Deposit cash at a bank: - http://www.BitInstant.com 2.) Make a trade with someone on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace where you pay with Moneypak - http://www.bitcoin-otc.com - http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#bitcoin-otc-foyer If you are ever wishing to sell bitcoins in person, there is: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/sys/2807480111.html Other options: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_bitcoins Title: Re: NEW need Bitcoin in LA Post by: sethsethseth on February 14, 2012, 08:22:40 AM There's a ton of good online market places you can exchange for USD. https://btc-e.com/ works well too if you have other things like NMC and LTC. Putting money on BTC-E is not a good idea as they have just been hacked. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63841.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63841.0) Title: Re: NEW need Bitcoin in LA Post by: BitcoinWorld on February 14, 2012, 09:59:41 AM I kinda like your idea of exchanging for cash in person, it's like the difference between ebay and craigslist. Of course, today ebay has buyer protection, but when they didn't, it made me anxious and was a total pain when someone was not entirely moral.
