[Anemed]

I thought everybody buys their first bitcoin from LocalBitcoins?

Can be dude. But not required or compulsary to buy bitcoins from Localbitcoins when one joins at first. Localbitcoins is a place where trading occurs. Bitcoins can be bought or sold. This is uses as a wallet as well. This is my wallet as well. Bitcoins are always kept in this wallet. The earnings from signature campaign falls in this wallet if you give your bitcoin wallet address.

Not only in localbitcoins,you purchase the bitcoin with any online exchanges which is available with your country's fiat currency exchange. Else you buy the bitcoins with the local trader who is near from your location.

You could buy bitcoin on coinbase, circle, localbitcoins, etc. Then send bitcoins to any wallet that you want to. I've used coinbase to do this with no problem although some other people have said that they have had problems with coinbase.

Coinbase support just really few number of countries, and not available worldwide. I think the best platform to buy and sell Bitcoins right now is Localbitcoins.

Localbitcoins is famous and trusted, but there is a lot of local and international exchangers which allow people to buy and sell their bitcoins without any issue.

You can go to localbitcoins.com and buy the btc there with your credit card, idk if  there are any sites, maybe coinbase, where you can buy with credit card, never looked into it tho. But my suggestion would be to go on localbitcoins and find a buyer and buy the btc with cash, eye to eye.

Yes it is possible. At times you can even buy a wallet from your friend. My friend has sold his wallet to a user in this forum. BTC can be exchanged either from your own account or from any other's accounts. Only things is, you need a person trustworthy whom you can trust on. Better learn how to create an account for yourself and how to keep it secured.

If want to use your credit/debit cards or bank account, you're better off using either Circle or Coinbase, for any other payment methods, including PayPal, Skill etc  LocalBitcoins is the place to go. LocalBitcoins is probably safe enough but personally I wouldn't want to have my card details on there. Buying BTC on Circle with a card only takes a few seconds, on LB you would have to first find a reputable seller which might mean you have to wait for one to come online.

You mean about scammers right. To protect yourself in trading You just need to use the escrow to manage your money or you can go with trusted like Kraken or coinbase to have trustful in trading.
