Where to buy Bitcoins?

[Rilla]

Hello guys,

I am pretty new to bitcoins. Last time I bought bitcoins, I went to anycoindirect.eu - the problem is, I pay 10€/per btc more than the current exchange-price.

I checked out bitstamp for example the problem is now the "account verification" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egv_BDCiR-E).

I could scan my driver license for example, but since I still live with my parents (Im 19), I dont have any electric bills or anything in my name. What should I do? Any other exchange, where I can buy 2 BTC for example (with SEPA from an EU bank account), without the need to send private documents?

Thanks guys!

You can send your ID + drivers license, for example...

As for alternatives, you can try something like localbitcoins if you don't want to send your info, or Kraken, if you don't mind them having a bit of info.

Thanks for your reply!

I just checked the FAQ (https://www.kraken.com/en-us/help/faq). Do you know if it would be possible to buy 2 btc with a basic account + a sepa deposit?

I really would like not to submit all the private documents, since I have a bad feeling about how this stuff is stored, and who can access it.


Edit:
The problem I see with localbitcoin is, that if the guy I am buying from (and sending money to via my bank account) does something illegal, I get visit from the police, who asks me, why I sended 500 EUR to this guy.
And when I tell them I bought btc, then think its something you can smoke.

All 100% legit & trustworthy methods of acquiring bitcoins - Give them a go.
You can buy from people here, use a reputable escrow as a middle man for peace of mind.

Yeah, Kraken is not an option at all.

*Due to elevated risk of fraud in Germany, all clients resident in Germany and/or funding from a German bank account will require Tier 3 verification and must also provide an ID confirmation photo. An ID confirmation photo is a picture of you holding the ID used for Tier 3 verification next to your face to allow for facial verification of the ID.

Maybe I stick with this anycoindirect site, even if I overpay 20€ ... didnt knew its so complicated to buy few btc

AFAIK LocalBitcoins.com is unavailable in Germany as well. So, you may use LocalBitcoins.com altenative www.100bit.co.in, which is available in Germany and cheaper as well.

https://btc-e.com

That takes an age to get money into and there's extra verification with the third party fiat processors plus some big ass fees.

Bitcoin.de is worth a look too. That's p2p like localbitcoins but can often be the same price as the exchanges.

I use Coinbase.com, it's pretty easy and they have a very nice mobile app.

You can buy bitcoins at Virwox, if you are using PayPal/PaySafeCard.But it has really high fees. I would suggest to trade with a highly trusted member on this forum, that have done many trades before. If u don't want to pay +10€ /BTC u don't use a exchange, they are mostly expensive.

Good luck with getting some BTC!

Yes, buy it from the trusted people, or simply buy it from your friend who is using bitcoins since a long time, as you never know you can get scammed by the scammers and if you buy from the traders just go through their trading history which can give you the exact idea about the trader.

I use https://cex.io to buy some Bitcoins

The one that I believe is virwox (as it is told by someone here in this thread). But the fee of this exchange are high. I suggest that the best way to change is here in this forum. Made an announcements and there are to many that can change. Only one warning: Change with escrow and the guy which will deal with you must not have the trust red.

[DaddyMonsi]

look no further, just go to the currency exchange section and exchange whatever you have
just make sure that you deal with a trusted trader and not someone who just want to scam you for a few BTCs

[sipredrica]

You can Buy or Sell Bitcoins in Localbitcoins.com It is Best Website for Buying or Selling Bitcoins. It Follows Trusted Escrow Between the Buyer and Seller. I Can Prefer Localbitcoins.com, or If you need other Bitquick, bit-x, bitxindia, etc.,

well that's only for germany people, for any other european it work good and very fast, never had any problem with them, i just hope that they will not do the same for everyone, otherwise it might be better to use a decentralized platform like a forum....
