I did have to pay a premium to buy on localbitcoins, but it was comparable to the fees I paid to wire money to Bitstamp. So all in all, I preferred the cash route.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Well i hate transfer money to exchange cause it takes a long time. So i prefer using some trusted local/personal seller, or BTC-E (Okpay or PM for small amount) Hi, I am trying not to buy BTC, but to work for it and earn it. BR
Just like me i almost never bought it, i earn it and if i need some cash then i sell it .

Local Bitcoins is the only way I do it. Nothing better than grabbing some cash out of the ATM, going to a Starbucks, and handing it over for some BTC. I don't like to deal with exchanges when I don't have to.

What are some options, besides localbitcoins.
I was considering coinbase, but I heard they delay the price point or limit your purchase? Or they delay the coins to send you.

I use Coinbase to get my dollars into the system. That's the easiest way I've found as a US resident. After that, I usually send my coins to cold storage or to an exchange like BTCE or Bitfinex. I've never deposited money to an exchange before; it seems like a headache.

I've used Coinbase, though I am not a huge fan. But it's an easy way to get money directly from your bank into bitcoin. I like to use cash on LBC when I can, but unfortunately never built up any feedback there, so not much luck posting ads.

I have never had a problem with coinbase. With that said i barely register on the radar of buying and selling coins. I typically use coinbase.com to cash out. I believe they have a waiting period if you want more than 2,000 or maybe its 3,000 per day.

I have used virwox a lot since they accept Paypal deposits. They are slow on withdrawals as there is a procedure to hold your first BTC withdrawal for 48 hours and their fees are steep. Try using a BTC Machine which dispense bitcoins, it typically takes a few minutes.

I agree, Coinbase is very easy and has a good interface. It's a good way to get money from your bank and into the BTC economy. It is not a good platform for trading, though.

In The Netherlands we have this awesome website www.bitonic.nlYou can already buy or sell bitcoins very easily with online banking. However I understand that other country's dont have it so easy as us. If there wouldnt be a site here like Bitonic I think I would use www.localbitcoins.comBest would be to look for a trader, with a good reputation and is living close. And just meet up in person I guess.

I only wish I could enter a USD amount in and coinbase gives me bitcoins for that amount, including the fees.

In Europe use kraken, it's the best and safest.

I use localbitcoins because it is p2p and I have indeed made a few bitcoin friends through the trades.
