Title: New here and sort of new to BTC would like to buy 2 coins Post by: ASTRVL PLVNES on July 25, 2013, 03:50:13 PM Sup everyone. I'm from NYC. Sort of new to BTC. I've herd about it in passing but had no idea how hard it would actually be to get just a couple of coins lol. I'd like to buy at least 2, off of one of the trusted members/vendors here just to get my feet way.

Just make sure to always use escrow, if you buy here on the forums. Title: Re: New here and sort of new to BTC would like to buy 2 coins Post by: btceic on July 25, 2013, 11:42:02 PM Check out these guys,

Also, I would highly recommend JohnK escrow as he is highly trusted to reduce your risk of being scammed Title: Re: New here and sort of new to BTC would like to buy 2 coins Post by: btceic on July 26, 2013, 12:20:45 AM Sup everyone.

Always use escrow, Always! Edit: food for thought, 300 BTC stolen just recently in a group buy. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262566.0 Title: Re: New here and sort of new to BTC would like to buy 2 coins Post by: ASTRVL PLVNES on July 26, 2013, 03:49:47 PM Check out these guys, http://bitcoinnyc.org/ http://www.meetup.com/bitcoinNYC/ Quote We are a volunteer group of Bitcoin enthusiasts who want to help foster and grow the NYC Bitcoin community.

Thanks for this, a meet up group was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I would use one of the websites/exchanges but between the fees, set up times, non-ease of use, etc... They all just seem like headaches. Unless your really looking to invest in/get into Bitcoin heavily.

Couldn't I just trade in person and you know sort of take my money back, and maybe a little compensation package if they tried to scam lol Title: Re: New here and sort of new to BTC would like to buy 2 coins Post by: ASTRVL PLVNES on July 26, 2013, 04:47:20 PM Sup everyone.

I'm at least glad you guys seem to ostracize/identify posters fairly quickly when you find out their scammers |
