When I was a newbie I bought BTC at https://anycoindirect.eu, the pay really quick when u have paid. Also they have a small amount of fee. I am sometimes still using this service to get some BTC. And if you want to buy with cash u can go to localbitcoins.com and find someone near to you.

You should buy bitcoin from exchanger.  btc123 lists many exchangers and related websites.

Buy from Localbitcoins, using bank transfer or Western Union. If someone is ready to sell Bitcoins for hard cash in your vicinity, then it is the best method (although you have to be cautious). Another method is to purchase Bitcoin with Paypal or Visa / Master, using Virwox. But the disadvantage is that Virwox charges quite hefty premiums.

What country do you live in?

Since you have the Big Lebowski as your avatar photo I'll assume you're in the US, in which case Coinbase is the easiest way for you to buy some cold hard BTC. Good luck.

is question is different, is not for him, he know how to buy bitcoin and from where, he say "what if a newbie"...

i would simply say exchange or localbitcoin, but perhaps my best recommandation would be circle, because it is fast enough for a newcomer

I would suggest either Coinbase (www.coinbase.com) or BTC-E (https://btc-e.com/).  I use both and have never had any problems with either.  Smiley  As a new users I would go with Coinbase as they have live support that is almost always online and are super friendly.  Smiley

I would vote for LocalBitcoin myself.  I never buy BTC, but do sell a couple times a month to cover living expenses.

Virwox or Bit-x.com if I were you , they accept multiple methods for deposit and for withrawal , however for what comes to Virwox they take shitload of fees for what comes for Paypal & Credit cards , another method is to trade simply on currency exchange sub forum on bitcointalk and put your own rates and your own favorite payment method .

It depends on the country.
Here in Austria, I'd say Bitcoin Bon or coinimal.
Some months ago, someone asked me that, and I just sold him Bitcoin myself(for € 5 lol).

It is good to give a newbie some easy access to Bitcoin, but I also always tell them: If you want to get serious, get higher amounts of Bitcoin, you should use an exchange otherwise you just pay too much in fees.

For me easiest way to buy some BTC is to move funds from my paypal to virwox and exchange it for BTC.
You have also many exchangers where you can buy BTC with reasonable fees and using many different methods, like credit cards, paypal, Solid Trust Pay, Skrill etc.
You can check out ecurrencyzone for example.
Hope this helps.

I've just had a total newbie ask my friend to ask me how to buy bitcoin to get started in the UK.  I didnt suggest localbitcoins because it would require them meeting someone in a coffee shop or something.

Instead i suggested coinbase..... i dont know if that is a good suggestion for UK as i've not tried them myself but if i were going to use an exchange right now i would use them since they are insured by the NYSE.

I would suggest him to buy on this site, of course with an escrow. Grin
Because I think this site is safe for transaction, especially with an escrow. Cool

1) buy 100 USD smartphone
2) install android bitcoin wallet (schildbach)
3) go to kraken or virwox
4) buy to "market" price (no LIMIT or ORDER system)
5) withdraw to address on the smartphone
6) you can pay with bitcoins, now

and you are your bank.

if a newbie asks me ..., i would sell him bitcoin myself because it is the best way to buy bitcoin.
other than that i think it depends on the country that they live in, i think for US it is easier to buy from coinbase, and for other to buy from localbitcoin, but i haven't heard all good things about localbitcoin.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.
