Hi guys, need some help please? I am considering buying some bitcoins, I've been exploring http://coinbase.com/ but I am not too comfortable having to transfer them my money, waiting four days to have it in my e-wallet or something, and only then buy the bitcoins. Do you know if there is a way to buy them directly from my bank account? Thanks!

I think xapo also have an option to directly link your bank account and convert the money to btc (not sure). And https://www.bitquick.co/ I found on a coindesk article that it's the fastest way to buy btc.

I'm not sure about that but I think that buying bitcoin directly using your bank thro coinbase is the easiest , so I think that you should use it in the future you maybe want to keep some money in some ewallets like Neteller or Perfectmoney ..etc cause buying bitcoins using them is almost instant and you can find deals in the currency exchange section here in the forums

Generally I buy it from localbitcoins as it is reliable place to buy and sell bitcoins and I am buying from there since I am into the world of bitcoins and I have never faced any issue related to safety of my money as the credits are instant and even the traders sitting there hold a good reputation and good trust ratings.

Try checking out https://www.circle.com/enYou can no longer use Circle to buy or sell bitcoin, they removed this option in December last year. Instead of being cryptocurrency exchange they switched to mobile payments market with their Circle app. Circle partnered with Coinbase and everyone who want to sell or buy bitcoin is redirected there instead.

That's right coinbase cannot be the safest option to buy bitcoins as we have come across through some bad news about it which doesn't make it the best place to buy bitcoins and if you don't want to buy it from any site then you can directly buy it from a person whom you know personally and that will reduce your risk of loosing money.

Why don't you just use localbitcoins.com if you want to use your bank account's funds directly? It's a way more simple method than dealing with coinbase.
Or alternatively; you can use CEX.io if you prefer to buy bitcoins with your credit card. The fees are around %8-10 with both ways.

You are suggesting localbitcoins where you can't even get bitcoin at market rate. You will end up paying more than 10-20% than market rate which is far worse than waiting for few days to get your deposits. I think you can buy bitcoin almost instantly in coinbase with credit cards if they support your country.

They stopped bitcoin. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/circle-distancing-bitcoin/Here is the easiest place to buy for U.S. customers. It's also one of the most expensive places to buy btc on the earth. The upside is buying under $150 worth of coin and you don't need identity papers on file. As far as I know it's the only anonymous option left in the U.S. https://www.coinmama.com

You can buy bitcoins directly from localbitcoins.com.Either you can buy bitcoins by transferring money from bank or you can buy directly from a person face to face.

Meet in a crowded public place and it's sort of safe. In my area there have been criminals setting up meets to sell btc and then just mugging the buyer because they know they're carrying a bunch of cash to the meetup. Don't think you're totally safe because you are meeting at a Starbucks or something. They may agree to sell you a bitcoin at Starbucks and then stand you up only to mug you in the parking lot when you try to get in your car. Just remember, there's a reason banks have all the security cameras, bullet proof glass for the teller windows, and security guards - they deal with cash.

Localbitcoins is the best for me to buy bitcoins but it will also depend on which country you live and which site is good and friendly for you but if you have an option to buy it from localbitcoins then you can trust that site blindly and I am sure you will never get scammed.

Hackers were found everywhere. But as the above mate said localbitcoins is a secure place for making our trades. It gives the convenience of purchase depending upon our necessity and the transaction possibility. Also it helps with listing of traders quoting different price margin. Can buy the one we can afford.

This is just an unsolicited advice, anyway. If I were you, I would be looking for another wallet service because Coinbase right now is under pressure from IRS to give up all of the information of their members as the government is investigating for possible tax evasion against members who are US citizens. This is one of the many ways the government can still act like a Big Brother for people who are into cryptocurrency. Happily, I am not based in USA so this does not concern me plus we have a good local-based wallet service here.

Actually why localbitcoins is safer because they use escrow services and when you sell bitcoins you can release your bitcoins only when you get confirmation that money has been transferred to your bank account and if not you can start a dispute there and in that case no trader will wish to put his reputation at stake as its a full time business for him.
