Buying Bitcoin

[Kolder]

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.

Just wait for your government do what US government do to bitcoin. It will surely come because government will not tolerate tax evasion since bitcoin is the easiest path to escape from it because government has no power on it. I'm sure that coinbase will be very affected by the pressure, Many users of it will be backing out once they release the information of their user because bitcoin was meant to be anonymous.

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!

Enjoyable thread I was about to post a similair thread. There's a lot of exchanges out there. I found that coinmarketcap.com gives quite a decent overview.  Do you know this interesting site? https://www.coincheckup.com This site did all the research for you. It's truly amazing. Check: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Bitcoin#analysis To watch Bitcoin Investment and research analysis.

Why don't you try localbitcoins website for buying bitcoins as there you have all the options even you can buy it for cash and also can transfer funds from your bank account and upon the receipt trader will transfer bitcoins to your bitcoin wallet.

I prefer to buy with cash from localbitcoin. No waiting and no fees.

try here you can get cheap bitcoins but choose escrow service

Localbitcoin or coinbase, had good experience with coinbase (both bank transfer and credit card, but have heard horror stories of customer service so exercise caution).

[Zarbout]

I knew the same problem before. I moved to buy with cash from local sellers i found in localbitcoin or facebook groups.

[osasshem]

Localbitcoins.com is a good site too that you can use to buy Bitcoin and also sell there too.

Personally I prefer bittrex due to it's quite fast and I never had problems with them.

Be aware of yobit, I deposited some coins to their wallet, but a bit later it's status was "delayed" or "under maintenance".

It took them over a week to solve this!

I totally agree with you, my favourite exchange is also bittrex. The volume is also really great!

My fav way to buy bitcoins is through peer to peer exchanges like localbitcoins, paxful, or bittylicious. These are all great ways and they have 2fa and escrow as well.

[Yoko 666]

for me best way is paxful or localbitcoin but you must be trust and high rank to get cheap bitcoin

[nskendrovic]

Best way to buy bitcoins are through peer to peer exchanges. If you want more privacy then look into decentralized peer to peer exchanges like bisq, cancoin, hodlhodl, etc

Best way to buy bitcoins is blockchain (dot) com, fast and secure i bought 6 times here and never was disappointed !

[BTCINVESTOR]

I have a friend that wants to purchase a sizeable amount of bitcoin, anywhere form 250K to 500K USD worth. I bought all mine using Dwolla from Mt. Gox back in the day when you could do that, but since then i haven't needed to buy. Anyone have any advice for bigger players to meet up with other big holders?

There is no confusion to buy Bitcoin and send it Coinbase. I'm using Coinbase for 2 years. I didn't found any problem here. If your country accepts Bitcoin and your local Bank exchange Bitcoin so you can Buy directly from Bank account. Otherwise, you can't. You can use Coinbase. Coinbase has hight security system. You money stay safe.

If you're from europe, try anycoindirect.eu
I used it several times now without any Problems and instant delivery. You have a Limit in the first few Transactions for safety.

If you're from Germany, Austria or Switzerland you might try bitcoin.de
One of the securest places to buy BTC and ETH.

[Rupok]

I am a regular Coinbase user. I am using it for 1 year. But I didn't found any problem yet. It is the most secure wallet.
If Bitcoin is legal currency in your country so you will be able to buy Bitcoin directly from Bank account. If Bitcoin is not legal so you can use Coinbase. It has a high-security system. Your money will be very safe.

Let me give you advice: do some research about alt coins. I think buy bitkoins now not best idea. I prefer to buy ETH or Monero bit its up to you of course.
