What are the other options? did you try to buy some via localbitcoins? there you can find many payment options or even you can pay with cash in hand with someone near you!

Bitstamp is only cheap if you buy large volume. For small volume, coinbase is cheap also.

So i d like to find a place like a bitstamp, that got much liquidity but also has different deposit options Title: Re: The easiest and cheapest way to buy bitcoins in the US Post by: cryptofan5 on August 07, 2014, 10:58:34 AM Maybe you should check some other exchanges outside the US that accept bank transfers?

I'm sure he didn't think about that, thank you for providing this incredibly brilliant and informative insight!Title: Re: The easiest and cheapest way to buy bitcoins in the US Post by: Fray on August 14, 2014, 02:37:44 AM The easiest way: coinbase. It takes only ~15 minutes or so to get everything setup and linked (it does take time to verify your bank account, but this is only a one time thing) and once everything is setup and your identity verified you can easily buy bitcoin with just a few clicks.
The cheapest way: to be a liquidity provider on LBC (local bitcoin). You will not be able to buy right away but people who want to sell their bitcoin right away will offer a discount in order to sell right away. You will also likely need to meet at a time/place that works for the seller, but you would end up getting a discount.

May be you could go LakeBTC to buy bitcoin when the price is falling, such as now. Title: Re: The easiest and cheapest way to buy bitcoins in the US Post by: C.Steven on August 14, 2014, 08:33:44 AM IMO, the easiest way is to use Coinbase while the cheapest way is to use Btc-e to buy some bitcoin.
