Were can you buy bitcoin?

[Denker]

OP there are so many possibilities to buy Bitcoin today.
You can use one of the several exchanges out there.
The big ones are BitFinex, Bitstamp, Kraken, BTC-e, OkCoin, Huobi, BTCC, Poloniex (Alt->BTC).
Other services are Coinbase and Circle.
Or you use localbitcoins or Mycelium'ss market place to meet people for a real life trade.
Xapo is not bad but there are better options out there.

Always Localbitcoins is my choice because bitcoin very easier than other online bitcoin trading sites. There we can buy through with or else you can buy bitcoins with trader through direct offline also. i have tried with kraken also but nothing is better like localbitcoins...

It will depend on which country you are living in which exchange is user friendly for you, as I am buying it from localbitcoins since I am into bitcoin, and all the traders are trusted people and there is no chance of getting scammed.

I guess, no matter which country you are from, you always will be able to buy bitcoins from localbitcoins.com.
It is one of the most trusted site I have come across. Most of the exchanges also offer bids for buying bitcoins. You can choose which best suits for you.

Yeah LBC is one the best site that we have to buy and sell our bitcoins and I am using the same as there are many traders whom I know personally so its become more easy to buy bitcoins.

[Junko]

As others have said, Localbitcoins with a reputable trader. If you buy through coinbase, don't use their wallet if you plan on using your bitcoin for gambling or receiving bitcoin from a gambling site account. It is against their ToS apparently.

[opossum]

I am not buying at a moment, but I am trying to earn as much as possible and whatever I earn I am investing it into altcoin trading which is helping me to earn good profits.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

The most reliable and convincing is xapo and Coinbase. but some of the exchange is very difficult to use for some countries.
I suggest you use a local exchange that is in your country. it will be easier because you can directly send it to your BANK account.

Never used Xapo, just their wallet for faucets.  Coinbase works just fine if you don't mind giving your personal details, same with Circle, which is also very good.  Then there's always wesellcrypto.com--great if you want to buy quickly with PayPal, but the fees are high.  I've used all of those.

[coinzat]

the easiest way to buy bitcoin in my opinion is to check localbitcoin and search for a seller near to you and if he offers you a fair price, you can deal with him in person so there is no scam may happen 

[Doamader]

I had bought my bitcoins with a person who were here already and were and keep buying and selling bitcoin with an extra fee, but the transactions happens in less then 2 hours, as soon i deposit the fiat the person confirms, and deposit bitcoin at my wallet or fiat at bank. Sure not all people trusted to do this way, soo always search feedback, and well xapo provided a fast service.

[ethereumhunter]

if i want to buy bitcoin, i'd will buy with my friends which is buying and selling bitcoin. i am not recommended to buy bitcoin with xapo or any of online transfer, if you know people around you that you can trust and have bitcoin to buy and sell, then you can do with him/her or you can use local bitcoin to buy and sell bitcoin.

Yes, highly recommending to buy from localbitcoins since we have many options to buy and we know who you're buying from.

For security measures, buy from localbitcoin accounts with over 1000+ successful transactions because that's one way of securing a trade, although don't really trust them too much since there are some bought accounts that can still scam for very high amounts.

[Nahl]

you have good first experience here but i don't have any plan to using xapo as your recommend and there are plenty way to purchase bitcoin currently also not really difficult to found legit exchange who selling bitcoin and with only simple process it took less than 1 hour and they will process your order and bitcoin will directly sent to your wallet

[danherbias07]

First of all wrog spellig. It should be "where". Second this kind of question have been scattered and many threads are the same like this. Might want to read them first. Even first pages of their threads are already helpful.

There are definitely some scammers and those looking to commit fraud on localbitcoins, but I would say that they're relatively trustworthy aside from the fraudster minority, and as long as you look at the people you're buying from then you should be fine. Just always be sure you're buying/selling in the right ways.

Buying BTC is too hard to do.. I think that's one of the biggest things that needs looking into for BTC is ease of access..

[Xenophoto]

For the people out there who doesn't have a bank account to buy bitcoins from coinbase or Xapo for some reasons, you should just look for a guy who has tons of bitcoins and want to sell them in your local area. This is much safer based on my experience. You can do meetups, or you can do buyer sends first. You can do escrow as well if you're doubtful. This is much efficient compared to xapo, because it took 3 days for OP to get the BTC. If you're in a hurry and in need of bitcoins, Xapo is just not for you.

[davis196]

My experience with buying bitcoin (BTC) started August the 7th. I was wandering if there's a way of securely purchasing bitcoins, I started searching on the net and I found that you can buy bitcoin directly from the Xapo website. At first I was a little bit skeptical but I tried to buy 10 USD anyway. I sent the wire transfer and I waited... Surprisingly yesterday ( 3 days after the wire transfer) I received 0.016-ish BTC on my wallet! So if you are wanting to buy some bitcoins I recommend purchasing them on Xapo.
Thanks.

OP, your thread looks like you are trying to promote Xapo.Please don`t do this.

There are many places where you can buy btc.

Coinbase,Virwox,Localbitcoins,Paxful,Purse.io

Most of them have very high fees and require ID verification.

[corporatist]

Coinbase, circle, localbitcoins

[rababo]

As for now, I buy and sell bitcoin through my local exchanger, since it's easier and more confinient. I can do transaction in my currency and transfer it directly to my bank account.

[expert4knowledge]

I was searching for places where we can buy bitcoin, however I did not find good results for online buying, I mean by good websites that are trustable and have low fees.
