Where to Buy BTC in US?

[btc-mike]

I made this list while looking for places to buy >1 BTC per day at or near cost. I am in the US.

I currently use Circle and Localbitcoins (Moneygram).


Circle.com - The instant buy limit is $300 per week but can be raised to $3000 per week (max). Limit increases are slow.
Coinbase.com - The instant buy limit is extremely low. Normal buys take up to 9 days to arrive. Limit increases are extremely slow.
Snapcard.io - Allows instant buy via CC @ 4.5%. $50/day max. Verification can be slow, contact support.
Payeer - Fees vary for adding funds. ~3% to withdraw as BTC.
Digatrade - "We’ve had to disable the credit card payment processing functionality on DigaTrade until further notice."
Gemini - Verification for address is hard because they do not accept bank/CC statements.
Cryponit.net - Exchange. Add fund instantly with CC. There is no trade volume.
Kraken.com - Recently started allowing buys from 37 US states. Wire transfer only.
Bitfinex - Wire transfer only.
Virwox - Very high fees
ANXBTC - They do not allow deposits from US.
Coinimal - They do not allow registration from US.
Bittylicous - They do not allow deposits from US. Fees are high.

Others
BTC ATMs - Most are anonymous. I have never used one.
Craigslist - There are a few people in my area that advertise cash deals.

If any one would like, I can add other countries to list.

did you tried coinimal?

[Hash72]

I have mainly used coinbase but I'm comfortable at $200/week max instants.

That is a good comparative list though, am looking to try others out because coinbase seems to be getting a bad rep when it comes to privacy and control.

[cabingames]

That's a very comprehensive list. Very good efforts by you

I just tried Coinimal. Not allowed in US

How long did it take you to get to $200? I am still at $50

Thank you. I already have more to add

It didn't take long, maybe two weeks. I verified some personal info though, no sending of documents. Don't use coinbase straight to sketchy sites/merchants obv.

I use BitQuick its safe, simple and the quickest way to buy Bitcoin or sell Bitcoin (the process only takes 3 hours or less from start to finish!). You can get .1 BTC to 10BTC a day if you want.

I didnt know it was took only 3 hours. My fear was that it would take 24 hrs or more. I will try it tomorrow. Will even use your affiliate lnk for turning me onto it.

Also going to try LibertyX this weekend. They have $2500 / week limit.

Hmm have a bank account linked as well? If you do then no idea why your insta limit is $50...

Yes I do. It appears they increase limits based upon something besides time.


Someone sent me a pm and I thought this would be good to share:

btc-mike,

Thanks for the info.

"Circle - The instant buy limit is $300 per week but can be raised to $3000 per week with many buys. Limit increases are slow (i think it was 1 month for me)."

I haven't made any buys from them. I didn't think they'd really be increasing to 3k any more.
I've created an account there and linked to 2 debit cards of mine at 2 different banks, but I'm at the $300/wk limit.
It sounded to me like they had decided to get out of the btc business and just become a fiat money transfer company.

If you don't mind - wondering how many buys you made during that month and avge amount/transaction.
I'm not interested in buying currently but would like a reliable site available for that purpose, and especially in case I want to sell.

My reply:

You need to request the increase and then wait.

I buy from them every day. Approx $3000/wk

To buy with local traders I don't know about it. But in localbitcoins and kraken are best to do trade in Europe or united states.

Just find a right traders according to their positive feedbacks and trusts at there. There is escrow as well to secure your bitcoin and for other party as well, try for it

I left lbc off because I figured everyone knew about but I really should have it on there.

Kraken is good in US for buying BTC only if you are willing to wait for wire transfers to go through.

[Edward_Cryptonit]

Do you know of places to quickly buy >1 BTC per day in the US? I know I can do WU on LBC but online is so much easier. The ideal place for me is Circle with higher limits. Does such a place exist?

I posted this list elsewhere and figure this is a good starting point.

Coinbase - The instant buy limit is extremely low. Normal buys take up to 9 days to arrive. Limit increases are extremely slow.
Circle - The instant buy limit is $300 per week but can be raised to $3000 per week (max). Limit increases are slow.
Kraken - Recently started allowing buys from 37 US states. Wire transfer only.
Bitfinex - Wire transfer only.
Payeer - Fees vary for adding funds. ~3% to withdraw as BTC.
Virwox - Very high fees
Gemini - idk, still working on verification
Digatrade - idk, still working on verification
Snapcard.io - No instant buy. ACH transfer takes 7 days.
ANXBTC - They do not allow deposits from US.
Coinimal - They do not allow registration from US.
Bittylicous - They do not allow deposits from US. Fees are high.

Others
BTC ATMs - Most are anonymous. I have never used one.

What are the fees for withdrawing funds from kraken compared to coinbase/circle?  Is NY allowed?  Would it work if you have usa bank acct but living in another country?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I'm with you on Circle, bro.  I just started using them last month and they're great--but I'm not a high roller like yourself in need of >1btc in one shot.  You can probably try to get bigger deals done here but watch out for the scammers.  There's quite a few members who have constant offers of multiple btc for sale.  Good luck, sir.

There are no withdraw fees at coinbase/circle. They only charge fees during the buy. I don't know about withdraw from Kraken as I have not bought from them.

Anyone else with experience with kraken can give answer to this?  Anyone from NY uses kraken and the fees for selling bitcoin to them?

A few updates-

I tried using LibertyX. When I went to the store to get my PIN, I was told they don't do it anymore because the state (CA) put a 20% tax on these transactions. I contacted LibertyX for clarification. They deleted that location (the most popular in my area) and said to try somewhere else. Not very reassuring.

Next I tried BitQuick. I went to bank (Chase) and was told I cannot deposit cash into another person's account if I do not have an account there. BitQuick support says they are wrong and I should try another bank.

Cryptonit posted above and suggested I try them. I submitted my verification this morning. I received a reply on the site's message system but can no longer get in. The site does not recognize my pw and the reset page is currently non-functional.

I need to follow up with the exchanges i sent verification.
