Yes  that is a general disadvantage when buying anything with Credit card though. Anyway, while trying to buy Bitcoins, all credit card options are either extremely sparse or overpriced. It's extremely difficult to buy with Credit, why though? Is there a economic reason to this?

bitcoins are 100% irreversible. once they're gone, they're gone. there's no way of getting them back. credit cards are often stolen or can be charged back.

bitcoin merchants who sell to credit card holders either have to be extremely diligent or put up with a significant amount of theft. i presume that's why fees are so high as they're taking a regular hit.

if i was in the bitcoin selling business there's no way in hell i'd ever accept them. 

Interesting, my bank or country hardly supports this chargeback option I think. I use PayPal which has the chargeback option though I have never used it to buy bitcoin.
Even if I was in selling bitcoins, I would have never accepted credit cards to sell bitcoins. Most of the scams occurs in the credit cards. Also they charge a heavy fees which cant be affordable by bitcoiners as we think a lot about the fees. It is good to purchase bitcoin with any other option. Purchasing bitcoin with paypal maybe perhaps safe rather then buying bitcoins with credit card.

Bitcoin is a anonymous currency and cant be traced. So even if someone uses our credit card to purchase bitcoins, we cant do nothing so it is good to not to use creditcards to purchase bitcoins.

I don't like buying bitcoin with credit cards because big fees and interest. Also because it's really hard to buy bitcoin with credit card because of verifications and money laundering risks. For the risk notification maybe because banks and credit card issuers don't want to involve in cryptocurrencies.

Mainly because there's so many phishing site around that offer you to buy bitcoin with credit card while infact they're just pishing site to steal your credit card information and probably sell it out to the deepweb or using it themselves.
No reason to buy bitcoin with credit card for me, better use bank transfer.

A lots of people has the knowledge of bitcoin or any other coins said that it is bad to use credit card to buy a Bitcoin. Well just think about it, if you're buying a thing that u think well double your investment but there's no guarantee that it well double or get a higher or lower your capital in return, your just risking it and your toast to that. But if well look at in the positive side, if you're a risk taker then go for it. Get gamble to it because that is business, you need to take the risk for you to have your success. Smiley

I think the right term is dangerous not bad. Well, everything you done online involving money is dangerous and risky. I think there are a lot of digital thief that corrupts your information and bank accounts everytime you use it online. Also, some people use bitcoin to launder money. They might use your credit card information when you use it online.
