Buying Bitcoin

Just tried to register on coin base site but they do do allow the buying and selling of bit coin in Armenia which is where i am based now. Can anyone recommend a site where bitcoin can be bought regardless of the country of residence?

You can buy BTC in Armenia at LocalBitcoins, for starters. It's a great service that's available in plenty of different countries. My google searches don't seem to come up with many other reputable options for you. Hope LB helps though!

It depends on the payment method you are going to use honestly , but there is Virwox.com which is a great options if you don't really care about the fees (they have some high fees) and they accept different payment methods : Paypal , Credit cards (MasterCard,Visa etc ..) , Skrill and others ..
Or you have the second option which I prefer is to use Currency exchange on bitcointalk (here) and trade people with the rates taht fits you and payment method that fits you (people may not want to trade with you if you are planning to use reversible payment methods like Paypal since you don't have any trust history and your rank is low) .

Localbitcoin is best if you want to buy coins from people in your local residence. AFAIK you can use bank or visa payment in there to buy bitcoin. You can also use paypal.
On the other hand we have here in the forum, the Currency Exchange section. You can buy bitcoins with members in here and if you are lucky maybe you can find someone who is from your local who is willing to trade in person.

May I suggest you that if you are going to trade with anyone who doesn't have an establised trust in the forum, please always use an escrow to secure the transaction. I don't want to see another scam attempt around. Goodluck!

Localbitcoins are the best regardless of the country. It has got all the payment methods. Easy to find a trader around your range, if possible you can even make the trade face to face.

One problem with localbitcoins is that the bid/offer spread is quite large, it is usually over 5%.

Use your card to buy from www.circle.com

localbitcoins is good, but the price is usually higher 2%-10% than the markets, due to the 1% fee of seller's on localbitcoin is passed on to the purchaser

and I think lakebtc is better, you buy bitcoin with the market price via banker, here are the details https://www.lakebtc.com/s/otc

If it is one off buy, you can use the localbitcoin. But if you want to buy several times and a lot of coins, you can use exchanges.

yes i also think localbitcoins it's the best option, you can also see if there's other bitcoiner near you in armenia, have you tried bitstamp?

what payment methods do you use? I might help you buy bitocin with a fair price.
my bitcoin retail store https://www.lakebtc.com/u/U772569062

Unfortunately due to regulations, there will always be some restrictions base on your location (I sort of have the same feeling since were neighbors - I'm in Iran). Since you haven't provided what type of payments you could use, I can't give you an accurate one but the following websites might work:
https://paxful.com/
https://www.247exchange.com
https://mycelium.com/lt/help.html
https://unichange.me
https://shapeshift.io/

You can also try the Currency exchange section of this forum but this place is filled with scammers. It's best to use LocalBitcoin. I have never had a problem trading there.

It is better not to use the currency exchange section. As you said, it is full of scammers there. Too dangerous.

I would always suggest localbitcoins,

They support many methods, a good escrow and a good trust system. everything is quick and easy. I will never choose anywhere else anymore.

The only problem with the local bitcoin is that if you want to buy bitcoins there, you have to pay more than 5%.

right!

the prices at most places are usually HIGHER 5%-20% than the markets, such as localbitcoins or any other exchangers. BUT, you can buy the Bitcoin with a market price at my Bitcoin retail store

Why not try to buy here make some offer with the price I think you should go to service section and offer the amount of your money to buy a bitcoin, much better to buy with those who have trusted rate, and please remember that it will be buy with your owned risk,. good luck mate.

actually localbitcoins is neither good nor reliable.
it differs from country to country when you want to buy locally but overall there is a lot of scams going on in localbitcoins so I suggest anybody to be very cautious when using their service, cause there are some people with fake feedback even.
