After some research you will find that there are a number of streamline providers out there to convert your USD to BTC. Competition is getting tough which hopefully will continue to push the bar in regards to getting BTC via a fiat bank. BTC-OTC is something you should look into as well...

Yet another newbie introduction. Its about time I created an account here, after lurking for about 2 years now. started buying into Bitcoin when it was priced @ $7USD and with todays prices, should of invested more.about time i get more involved with the BTC community in general.  Special thanks to the community for all of your thought provoking threads that pump out of here day in and day out.
