Title: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: halfawake on June 03, 2013, 06:05:04 AM I'm thinking of buying around 5 BTC and I'm wondering what the best exchange would be to buy them at. Previously I would have just gone to MtGox by default, but now with all the bad press they're getting I'm thinking of going else where. I like the looks of Bitstamp since it looks fairly low cost and easy to use. Has anyone used it before? Any good / bad things to say about them? Suggestions for alternate exchanges?
Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: YaCoinYeah on June 03, 2013, 06:06:17 AM BitStamp for USD purchase. For trading, go with BTC-E.
Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: worldinacoin on June 03, 2013, 06:08:30 AM I think the obvious choice is Mtgox given that it is the largest with highest liquidity.
Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: mprep on June 03, 2013, 05:22:51 PM The before mentioned BTC-E is probabably one of the best choices.

I will have to cancel this announcement, Aurumxchange is closing its doors for merchants and thus we wont be able to offer USD and Euro funding via Aurumxchange anymore. Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: The 4ner on June 05, 2013, 06:27:19 PM BitInstant is a great place to purchase bitcoin. I'm purchasing another coin today.

Post by: ArpFlush on June 07, 2013, 08:38:06 AM I think for Europeans, Bitstamp is the best exchanger. I use their site often and never had any complaint. Besides BTC they also do Ripples.
Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: data_teks on June 08, 2013, 05:02:38 PM I like coinbase and campbx. I would probably avoid Mtgox; seems everything headed downhill for them?

I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of speed to not have the counterparty risk and all that you have in OTC trades and also the generally lower prices that exchanges have. Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: joele on June 10, 2013, 02:14:57 PM I recommend bitfinex.com
Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: NumberFive on June 10, 2013, 02:43:34 PM Coinbase has been good for me.
Title: Re: Best exchange to buy bitcoins? Post by: halfawake on June 11, 2013, 05:09:32 AM I ended up going with Coinbase. I wanted to use Bitstamp since their fees are lower, but they have a $15 wire transfer fee for people not in the European Union. Since I live in California, that fee more than cancelled out the lower fee to exchange dollars into bitcoins. Even tried funding the Bitstamp account with Ripple, but couldn't figure out how to get money in there from Ripple, so I just decided to go with an easier exchange to put money into.
