How Do You Buy BTC?

[chaosPT]

I use localbitcoin , if you can get to the seller getting discuss you can actually get cheap btc than other site

[yazangrodt]

I am an exchanger and I am currently exchanging bitcoins for no fees. I do bulk trading on daily basis. For those who are interested can contact me via Skype : nicola.matthews88

+1 for localbitcoins.
The price I can get there is usually a bit worse than exchanges, but I won't complain about the simple process.

Reputable sellers tend to charge a premium over market price. But you also have to take into consideration that wiring money to an exchange incurs % and flat fees, and during that time, BTC can also launch. So, there are trade-offs to be made.

Very true, and so I am still happily paying the premium on localbitcoins.

I'm pretty sure Dwolla has been out of the picture for bitcoin companies/exchanges for quite a while, so my feeling is that it has fallen out of the picture for bitcoin traders as well. http://www.coindesk.com/dwolla-bitcoin-companies-virtual-currency-exchanges/

Thats a shame. I saw an ad on there, but I guess it was a mistake. Checked again, it was gone with some other payment form.

I guess cash deposit is the best route right? cause no fees etc.

I really only do cash/in-person deals on LBC. Stay off the books, pay no fees to nobody. But yeah, if I were dealing with someone non-local, I would be looking at free online bank transfer / cash teller deposit. Escrow in that case.

You could check out localbitcoins to see if anyone in your area is selling.

Isn't the altcoin->bitcoin trading fee about the same as fiat->bitcoin ?
For example, the trading fee on Cryptsy is 0.25%, on bitstamp is 0.2-0.5%, on btc-e is 0.2%.

I buy my bitcoins through coinbase, virwox or localbitcoins.

[Baitty]

I try to use localbitcoin when ever possible and try to meet up with other Bitcoiners to keep the money within a local radius. otherwise I use other exchanges.

[PangPang]

I use localbitcoins because there is no verification process, and I can buy bitcoin fast and easy with cash.

[GreenCoin22]

pay cash, hand bitcoin

[Golph]

Bitfinex is a good place to buy BTC..

[Yakamoto]

Buy BTC? Ha! I'd rather work for it!

In all seriousness, though, I would buy BTC with localbitcoins, or at a convention or something. Not through websites, since those require a lot of ID, and I don't like tossing about 100% of my identity to a highly valued target for hackers.

I haven't bought any BTC in the past, but I may do it some time soon. Working for it has proved fruitful, and as such, I haven't had a need to buy it.

hi, i've used virwox before and it was really fast. Ive used also localbitcoins with a trusteable guy several times over SEPA. Very good experience.
