Where have you read these negative information?

I however believe in bitcoin investment and want to take the risk.

In every investment there is a risk and that's nice that you are believing in bitcoin.

You can with other people who have bitcoin and transact with them in person or you can buy in exchanges with fiat.

[PauloLuks]

You can use an exchange. There are some pretty safe with no problems. Like Coinbase, for example.
You can also use Bitfinex or Bitstamp.

[Lumada]

You can use an exchange. There are some pretty safe with no problems. Like Coinbase, for example.
You can also use Bitfinex or Bitstamp.

There are some convenience store with an app in our country that can easily buy BTC and ETH, it's a good company that provides it.

[knightmairesaint]

If there's a local based crypto wallet in your country then for me that's the most convenient and safest place where you can buy bitcoins because lots of fake exchanges spread around which might deceived you knowing the fact that it's hard to determine whether a particular exchange is a scam or not.

But never have a bad impression on exchanges because there are still legit and trustworthy ones like Bittrex, Poloniex, Hitbtc etc.

The best thing that you should do is to find an exchange that is more efficient and legitimate crypto exchanger that will help you to buy bitcoin. And i prefer you to use binance, it’s a community that focused on exchange which is a friendly user that will easy to learn by beginners.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

Of course there's always a risk on everything you want to invest in and not only Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency are risky investment but also other types of market. You can buy Bitcoin through trusted cryptocurrency exchanges where most people buy their Bitcoins, try using coinbase (if banks from your country are supported) and localbitcoins or if there is a local exchange available in your country then it will be good but if you want to hold those coins for long term investment don't use any online/web wallets or exchange addresses to hold them, it is better to use a Bitcoin wallet where you have the full control of your coins and your private key.

[Bonsaiav]

I think it's easy you can make a buy on any exchange and i will not mention one of them (all may already know). But obviously i make a buy in the existing exchanges in my own country and everything is safe the transaction can run normally without any problems at all.

[jitenrajput]

The best and safest way to buy bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies is from a trusted exchange which provides support to your country. After buying do transfer them on to your wallet as exchange are hot wallets vulnerable to hacker attack. Your cold wallet is safe compared to that.

[josh07]

for me it's good to use coins.ph to buy a bitcoin he does not have it when it comes to buying coinscoin on your purchase of bitcoin besides the trusted and most used and can guarantee your bitcoin safe.

[metenjean]

First thing to own is a bitcoin wallet and save your private key safely, the next step ahead is finding an exchanger. There are a lot of trusted exchanger out there that you can try, if you're using other currency than USD then your countries might have their own trusted exchanger which converted local currency to bitcoin. I think its a lot safer and easier to use that and just read a review in local subforum, hope this help 

[Dondon1234]

For me the best and safiest way to buy bitcoin, when it comes the price will go down, we can buy more in dip price, and we will wait the price go high, thats the good and the best amd easy way to buy and sell bitcoin

[opennera]

For me, we should buy BTC when the price down so much (sometime) and hold for x2 profit. Last time the price down to 6000$ and comeback 12000$

Very hard to prediction but i think 1 month we have one or two down storm price on btc

[francedeni]

for me it's good to use coins.ph to buy a bitcoin he does not have it when it comes to buying coinscoin on your purchase of bitcoin besides the trusted and most used and can guarantee your bitcoin safe.

Coins.ph is good to use to buy bitcoin but for other countries possible they might hard time to purchase bitcoin. They can instead use coinbase to purchase bitcoin and invest. As these days price on bitcoin is still good to buy and invest.

[50ouncebrew]

The safest way to buy bitcoins would be to wait until the price is down and the market is in a bearish state as it is now and then buy as much as you can afford to buy. If you are referring to what platform would be best to buy bitcoin on then you should check if coinbase works in your country and if the services are offered there, it's a safe place to buy bitcoin. Also coins.ph is a really good platform. There are a lot of good platforma to buy bitcoin just check for the one which works in your country.

[MinerHQ]

I have read a lot of negative information about how dangerous it is to travel this path.

What do you mean by dangerous? Are worried about the exchanges may cheat you when you buy OR you worried about the bitcoin prices may go down after your investment?

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

I best way to buy is to search whether your country has got a local exchange? If yes, then mostly they will allow you to buy with your bank account. I feel that is safer.

Definitely, bitcoin investments are for only risk takers. If you don't like to take a risk and worried about its high volatility then better don't invest in any crypto.  If you can wait for long then mostly it will give good returns.

[cynical]

the easiest way to buy bitcoin is to use https://localbitcoins.com/
this is not the safest because it is possible to get scammed if you are not careful

the next easiest option is to use the currency exchange section of this forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

after that you have to register with an exchange like coinbase or bitstamp but you have to get verified and link your bank account,
this takes a bit longer but is safe.

[Lancusters]

There are many ways to buy bitcoins. But the safest and most convenient way is to buy bitcoin on the cryptocurrency exchange. You will still have to register there because periodically every cryptocurrency owner has to change bitcoin to Fiat and back. Buy bitcoins at the ATM very expensive to buy bitcoin online exchange, is dangerous.

[Ultegra134]

I am a newbie who wants to invest in bitcoins. I have read a lot of negative information about how dangerous it is to travel this path. I however believe in bitcoin investment and want to take the risk.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

Via debit/credit card or bank transfer on most well-known reputatable exchanges, such as Kraken, Bitstamp or Gdax, those I've used personally and are situated in Europe.

You could also buy via a Bitcoin ATM, if there are any in your country or on a face to face transaction via LocalBitcoin.

[kokobaba880]

I think the bitcoin buying is a good strategy for this time and if you are interested in the bitcoin then you can safely buy bitcoin at the exchanges which are operating through Internet and from every one exchange you can buy bitcoin but you may also buy bitcoin to invest for the long term because in the short run you can not successfully judge the profitability of a coin and the actual value of the coin so it is easy to buy bitcoin but do not focus on the wrong news and information about bitcoin because this will hang you in the middle.

[btccrusher]

When it comes to purchasing Bitcoin, you got many options (safe). Here is a guide you can read to learn in details https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-buy-bitcoins but you can jump this option and head over to https://www.coinbase.com/ or https://localbitcoins.com/ Bot site are safe for trade. The second one has a wide range of payment options. Be cautious when trading with PayPal or some other online payment option.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Where are you from? If you want to buy it with a simple local exchange is the solution, or you can ask in the local forum (your country) for more details. If anyone says investment in bitcoin is dangerous, that's true. I mean, every investment must have a risk especially in cryptocurrency, no one is guaranteeing your money will be safe. So, I have suggestions for you to learn more about investment in cryptocurrency, read and learn more about cryptocurrency and this forum is one of them.

[merlyn22]

I am a newbie who wants to invest in bitcoins. I have read a lot of negative information about how dangerous it is to travel this path. I however believe in bitcoin investment and want to take the risk.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

welcome to the digital currency, when it comes to an investment there is no guarantee 100% of non risk. well if you are willing to take that risk you must be aware of being lost in investment. and if you really believed you can keep those bitcoins on your safe wallet and keep it for long. 2 to 3 years i hope bitcoins price reach high .

[Dingdong7]

I actually can buy in a retail store, this will direct the fund i will deposit in my personal software wallet. I feel like it's more easier to do this than to buy in exchange. Since the local wallet app allows user to deposit through bank and retail store.

Why would someone with own mind listen to those who give information negatively.. It’s you that said that your newbie and trusting them for what their opinion is not a good start.. Do your own research,, find any information that is truthful and right.. We at the start only been manipulated by others to their advantage and will profit controlling your decision by making you go wrong..

My advice,, don’t trust anyone..

[Westinhome]

for me it's good to use coins.ph to buy a bitcoin he does not have it when it comes to buying coinscoin on your purchase of bitcoin besides the trusted and most used and can guarantee your bitcoin safe.

Coins.ph is good to use to buy bitcoin but for other countries possible they might hard time to purchase bitcoin. They can instead use coinbase to purchase bitcoin and invest. As these days price on bitcoin is still good to buy and invest.

Actually ill buy some bitcoin also in the coins.ph but they have some fee for our convert on it into bitcoin. But we can earn some profit also if we hold our bitcoin and going into the price this bitcoin. We can use our bitcoin also to buy more bitcoin into another exchanger site.

[etron]

lots of bitcoin exchange places, and that's where you can exchange your money to bitcoin. your decision is the best decision to invest in bitcoin, because investing in bitcoin is very promising. you do not worry about risk, no matter what the risk is.

[Maricel2017]

There are many ways to buy bitcoin and yes investing in bitcoin is a big risk but the poasibility to earn huge profit is very high. For me i prefer to invest in bitcoin than investing in real estate because i am looking for fast income and i see that in crypto currency just do proper handling of your money in bitcoin.

[fiulpro]

There is no need to become that scared... You can easily buy Bitcoins ...as easy as you invest in your.. stock exchanges .

Go get you verified on a offline wallet and ... You are good to go.. as long as you don't live in countries that... Literally Hates Bitcoins..and..are not.. democratic.

[michael100]

If it is available in your region you could use an atm.

[Marina17]

I'm sure, that the best, quick and safest way to buy bitcoin is localbitcoins.com website. It doesn't matter which country you come from, the whole world buys and sells bitcoins there.

[Mometaskers]

Just use whatever reputable exchange is operating in your country, one that you are sure is legit and would not run away with your money. Most of these exchanges would usually have a local fiat wallet. Just deposit a small amount first and try to use that to pay utilities to test it out.

Once you're ready, you can then top up, and start making accounts in international exchanges to start trading.

[MiningBattalion]

It's very easy to inverse in bitcoin. Now their are lot of new sites was created with escrow for bitcoin transcation.
If you want to buy or sell or bitcoin, it's best to use escrow. Now a days,it's not easy to trust the people.So use the escrow for the safest transcation.

[Dingdong7]

In our country, you can avail bitcoin in a retail store. Buying there will direct the fund to the local wallet app. We are also allowed to deposit fund through bank account. Its easy to store bitcoin in the wallet, just be reminded that you'll just buy what you can afford to lose.

You can use an exchange. There are some pretty safe with no problems. Like Coinbase, for example.
You can also use Bitfinex or Bitstamp.

In our country there is a local wallet app which allows us to convert coin to local fiat. This is a kind of wallet and as the same time a kind of exchange because it has 2 kinds of coin that is available. Aside from well known exchange such binance and bitrex it will be wise to have a local wallet exchange also.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

First, have you gotten the perfect wallet that fits your needs? There are some wallets that let’s users buy Bitcoin straight from their wallet. When I started using Bitcoin, I started with Xapo as my wallet and they allow users to purchase Bitcoin using the Xapo wallet. It is safe and reliable, but the only you might have to spend more money than you will spend while buying from all these local exchangers.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

It's true if you want to invest in bitcoin is very risky for you but with you being careful in investing and choosing a wallet that is in trust and widely used by others and comfortable in your country keeping private keys offline to avoid hacker threats, do not be too think of negative news that you often see if not too convincing, if you are very careful it will be far from risk.
this is a good time to buy bitcoin, where there will be a rise in the middle of the year and the end of the year, a good public perception about bitcoin is the main force to be the world's best crypto.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

[semobo]

If you want to buy bitcoin then go to an exchange,I suggest you to buy bitcoin in LBC which uses automated escrows so there is no possibility for getting scammed.Or you can buy from person you know but itnwill be better if youbuse escrow for transaction.

[Thamon]

To safely hold Bitcoins, you need a reliable backup system and a good encryption scheme. A single misstep or security breach could wipe out your Bitcoin.

Actually it is not dangerous as long as you have knowledge about digital crypto currency. Here's some tip to avoid negative output when you invest in bitcoin.

1. It is very important to have some knowledge about bitcoin. Of course if some people notice that you have lack of knowledge about it, they will take advantage on you and it will leads to scam.
2. Buying bitcoin is not that hard, there are many exchanges site out there all you need to do is to choose. But, you need to have some info also about those exchanges site because some of them are scam too.
3. And last but not the least, Just focus in this forum and study how this forum works. All the things you need to know are here.

[JerryJam]

Before you buy bitcoin, you need to think about where and how you will store it. To do this, you need to create your own e-wallet. Take care of his safety.There are many ways to buy bitcoin.For example, you can buy bitcoin on a registered account of WebMoney/service.The main advantage of this method is its simplicity. The downside is the fact that there is a large fee for conversion. It is impossible to purchase a different virtual currency than BTC. Bitcoin can also be purchased through exchanges, cryptocurrency exchanges or Forex brokers.You can buy bitcoin directly from a real person.In this case, the Commission is minimal and the risk is high. The main risk is that the buyer must pay first because .return amount of cryptocoins impossible.

[Makingmoney2018]

Buying bitcoin can be quite confusing process if you are new to the digital currency, especially if you are in a hurry and trying to buy bitcoin instantly. Some people are buying bitcoin to start using it. But few still understand how to buy bitcoin safely. It is really very important that you have the knowledge about bitcoin before buying some of it.

[TheUltraElite]

If you want to buy bitcoin then go to an exchange,I suggest you to buy bitcoin in LBC which uses automated escrows so there is no possibility for getting scammed.Or you can buy from person you know but itnwill be better if youbuse escrow for transaction.

There is possiblity for getting scammed at every instant. No method is 100% scam proof. Still taking all the proper precautions does reduce the risk.

@OP If you want to do private trades then do keep some bodyguards if they want to meet and exchange. If you are willing to join an exchange then do learn what is the difference between centralized and decentralized exchanges before starting to buy/sell. Again make sure local rules are not having conflict with crypto - if required consult a legal advisor and a financial advisor.

Stop beating around the bush and posting shit. Give proper information or GTFO.

I think buying the most secure bitcoin you can buy directly through blockchain.info or you can buy it in coinbase, depending on where your country what kind of payment is supported in your country.

[TheDagger]

I thought local exchange is better to buy a bitcoin with safe mode.. I suggest to exchange sites are like, Bittrex and polonix...  After the buying process you just hold it with safe wallet..

[Ewox]

I don’t know where you’ve read that from but if you buy bitcoins through an exchange I think it is safe, for as long as you place a 2fa on the exchange.

[Chrisjay29]

I think the only safe you buy is make sure that the address were you deposit you money is right and make sure that you buy bitcoin in a common and popular exchanger for safe

[richminded]

I don’t know where you’ve read that from but if you buy bitcoins through an exchange I think it is safe, for as long as you place a 2fa on the exchange.

Big exchanges are safe of course and also you can buy p2p which is safe but the question is, is your wallet safe? Better to keep that one safe because it is more important. For me exchanges are the best way to own bitcoin its more convenient for me.

Just always remember that in every investment there's a risks, if you are not familiar to the investment that you want to try. You can simply conduct background checking or review the profile and the feedback of the other investors. There's a lot of ways to define who's the legit and scam so try to makes some strategies before grab the opportunity given to you.

Aside on that being successful were depends on how can you handle the situation you've been encountered

[romecheo]

Crypto currencies exchanges are the best place to buy. However, after you bought your coin/token you should consider also buying hardware wallet, specially if your investment are more than 200USD.

you may ask someone you know from your local who also digital currencies enthusiast like your friends or colleague.

Keep in mind that risk is in every investment. 

[richardsNY]

I thought local exchange is better to buy a bitcoin with safe mode.. I suggest to exchange sites are like, Bittrex and polonix...

Local exchanging services provide a far better form of overall support due to them being smaller, which is something I highly value. On top of that, people won't have to feel bad handing over an unknown exchange their private details and ID scans. As it is right now, just by verifying my bank account, which took one day, I can instantly buy and sell in any quantity I want. I don't even have to use an exchange anymore aside from my occasional trading sessions. I pay a higher fee of course for the convenience they offer (they are a business after all), which in my case is 3% per buy and sell order, but it's more than worth it for me. Buying happens instantly, selling too, but fiat posts the next working day on your bank account.

I am a newbie who wants to invest in bitcoins. I have read a lot of negative information about how dangerous it is to travel this path. I however believe in bitcoin investment and want to take the risk.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

The best option for you is to create an account on the cryptocurrency exchange. You will need to use this account in the future. For me, this is the best and safest way to become a part of the bitcoin community. You need to be able to buy and sell bitcoins. It is better to create an account in advance to be sure that your exchange supports the withdrawal of funds to a Bank card in your country.

[trader34]

I am a newbie who wants to invest in bitcoins. I have read a lot of negative information about how dangerous it is to travel this path. I however believe in bitcoin investment and want to take the risk.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

For buying cryptos with fiat you can use either an Exchange. like Coinbase/Gdax or Kraken or directly p2p with someone else in sites like localbitcoin.com or localethereum.com through escrows or smart contracts so you're safe to buy from someone else.

However, it's better to buy from an Exchange because the price is much lower.

[Alex9813]

First option is localbitcoin because you will find lots of trusted people who want to sell bitcoin there.Again, there is many exchange site where bitcoin can be bought.In BCT, people are interested to sell bitcoin but you have to use escrow always or buy from DT members.

[wxxyrqa]

I think that today is a very good indicator, If someone wants to buy Bitcoin. Thus, we provoke a price increase in the market, as the demand for Bitcoin increases. I think that many investors in Bitcoin making their bets save the crypto-currency market.

[destroyer01]

Purchasing bitcoin via a credit card is the most convenient method for the newbie,it also has a higher risk of transaction fraud,as well as higher processing fees.

If you have credit card then it is easy to buy Bitcoin with Fiat money. Through exchanges which offers convertion of Fiat to Bitcoin, you can easily do trades like in coinbase wallet.

[EdenHazard]

I am a newbie who wants to invest in bitcoins. I have read a lot of negative information about how dangerous it is to travel this path. I however believe in bitcoin investment and want to take the risk.

If you live in a country that in fact prohibits bitcoin then you will read a lot of information and articles that mention that investing in bitcoin is very dangerous. Different if living in a country that received bitcoin then will find a lot of investment information d bitcoin very promising. I suggest if you want to know how to invest in bitcoin with neutral information you can read on ccn.com, cointelegraph.com or at coindesk.com.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

To buy bitcoin with a safe and easy you can buy it at local exchange. Search for information about your country's local exchange and make sure it is not a scam site. Because a scammer will always create a gap for gain profit, you will know how the technology world works so easily to create the same fake as the original site.

[nikola22]

as for me the safest way to buy bitcoin is to buy it at well-known and trustful exchange. you will save your money and your nerves.

[LodisMcguire]

Well first you must have a bitcoin wallet,i'm using bitcoin web wallet from blockchain.info,because using exchanger wallet is not safe i think.If you got big exchanger in your country,use that to buy bitcoin,you can read of how to buy from their website,if not,use some big exchanger like bittrex to buy some bitcoin,it's newbie friendly and easy to use.

[yujinnnnn21]

Bitcoin is one of the cryptocurrencies that we need to keep or else someonw will will snatch it, But in buying nitcoins we need to assure that the sites that we will try to buy on ot must be legitimate and not scam. Like in Coins.ph wallet here in Philippines, We can easily cash in our money in wallet by going to 7/11 branches and convert it to bitcoin. We must aware of the sites we’ve always enter.

In our country, we are allowed to buy in a convenience store. Buying it would direct the fubd to a Local app wallet partner. Ive been buying bitcoin frim time to time, its like my saving goes here. Its for long term investment and for future purposes also. I dont recommend the same thing I am doing, some people actually dont use a local app for security features. But Im not too technical about this afterall this kind of app I am using is recognized nationwide

[DaltonRoi]

It has many advantages, also risks if you do not know how to make good decisions. To start I recommend you invest money that you do not miss, because at any time you can lose that money, do not use intermediaries or pyramids that give you fixed yields because that is not true and ask about the variation of other types of virtual currencies for Take advantage of it by making Exchange.

[Sadlife]

There are number of exchanges that let's you buy bitcoins like bittrex, binance, cryptopia and online wallet provider that also offers bitcoin. You just have to read the guide or FAQ of the site to give you some ideas to purchase some bitcoin. I advice to not purchase any bitcoin from a third-party seller cause it's very risky.

[lvincent]

There are lot of ways to buy bitcoin, like buy btc with other people although it takes a lot of risk you can also buy bitcoin in some convenience store that sells bitcoin of course you need your own wallet, there are some famous application to use as a wallet like coins.ph since i'm from the philippines a lot of people recommend it and another way is through exchange like bittrex and poloenix just be careful in your transaction sir.

[munir15]

in coins.ph because theres an assurance that it is safe and secured..

[ezajavo]

Well!, you can buy bitcoins from either exchanges, or directly from other people via marketplaces for example Coinbase, and Coinmama, and you can pay for them in a variety of ways, ranging from hard cash to credit and debit cards to wire transfers, or even with other cryptocurrencies, depending on who you are buying them from and where you live.

[frankybutterin]

yes every investment has a risk and my suggestion if this is your first investment you should use a little capital. You can buy bitcoin directly by bank transfer method using fiat money through internet banking or e-wallet service provider. You can also buy bitcoin through stock exchange such as coin base and gate.

[Gwapoman]

Try checking https://coinatmradar.com ,it has all the location of bitcoin atm's around the world..you can buy and sell bitcoin for cash.

There are different exchangers that you can find on coinmarketcap.com and when you already find one then try to ask reliable people who are in this forum fora very long time in order to gain knowledge about the market you are interested in order to reduce the amount of problems you will gain in the future.

[anhcuti24]

Go to popular Exchange in coinmarketcap, you will safe. Remember read comment on social page.

[beej]

as for me the safest way to buy bitcoin is to buy it at well-known and trustful exchange. you will save your money and your nerves.

Exchange sites are good options in purchasing bitcoins, I think there are even
apps that make bank deposits and remittance centers as convenient methods 
to buy bitcoins in a way or process, I think coins.ph is an excellent example of
such a method, my friend in the Philippines has been going on about it, I believe
it even has it's own BTC and ETH address and a convenient converter. I've also
tried making or having the assistance of someone more familiar and already has
accounts with exchange sites in buying bitcoins back when I was still new to all
of this, though I suggest that it would be someone honest, trustworthy and
someone you know, to avoid discrepancies on the process.

Well if you are trying to buy in some online seller of bitcoins for sure there will be a risk but there is another way to buy bitcoin. in some 24/7 convenient stores they are selling bitcoin but using just a selected wallet. there is no risk in that for sure.

[zhekinsp]

I am a newbie who wants to invest in bitcoins. I have read a lot of negative information about how dangerous it is to travel this path. I however believe in bitcoin investment and want to take the risk.

I want to know where and how to successfully buy bitcoins?

My advice before buying or investing in bitcoin, you first know how the market moves and what affects demand, I think you are too hasty and maybe if you keep buying you will only hold the bitcoin until you get a profit even though it's small, you also have to know the HODL is not an easy thing.

Good advice, but since localbitcoins has become a little shady and risk of chargebacks I have resorted to other ways of obtaining Bitcoins.
Sig campaigns are a great way to earn extra coins, as well as sports betting.
Maybe a little casino games but those are mostly luck.

yes every investment has a risk and my suggestion if this is your first investment you should use a little capital. You can buy bitcoin directly by bank transfer method using fiat money through internet banking or e-wallet service provider. You can also buy bitcoin through stock exchange such as coin base and gate.

If the OP can at least give us the country he is from, that would help to be able to limit where he can easily buy from or he can as well check Google to help out with platforms available in his country where he can buy with fiat. Personally, I have been using Luno in my country and it has been pretty effective with buying bitcoin. However, I understand it is not available in some countries except just few.

It is not dangerous to travel the path of buying, it is just necessary to be careful when dealing directly with a direct seller probably on platforms like localbitcoins and the best way is to check their trade history and reputation to know if the likelihood of getting scammed using such people is there or not. At least, that is one system that is available in a lot of places globally.

Bitcoin is very safe in the sense that I'm referring to it, it's as dangerous when criminals use them for illegal things. But I think if your country bans Bitcoin it's not a good choice to invest in it. To buy Bitcoin at a reasonable price you should buy when the market becomes unstable and go down because Bitcoin price will be much lower this time.

Hi,

There are many platforms dedicated for transaction if you want to invest. My post wil only be about some advice that you should follow, whatever you want to do with bitcoin:

1- (I guess that you already heard this one, but still) Only invest what you can afford to lose. Because you will face some loss. That's obvious.

2- Don't be afraid of scams and frauds. You will get caught. That's normal. You should just be aware of that, and of course, try to learn a lot about any project you'd like to invest into.

3- Generally speaking, reading a lot will necessarily help you. You will discover new projects, new uses, new people, new techologies. Try to cross-read and check sources, to make up your very own opinion.

4- Talk about what you do with your relatives. It can be really usefull sometimes to have the opinion of someone who's completely "out of this business".

5- Have fun!

You could use some online wallets to buy bitcoin,
There are so many online wallets out there you should just try to look for one,
You should try to look if your country have a local bitcoin wallet that you could use.

Basically, buying bitcoins can be done in any legal exchange sites, but since you are here in this forum you can look for trusted big persons like campaign manager which have 40 above positive trust, they themselves will not ruin their own reputation no need to ask for escrow with the trusted managers because they themselves can hire escrow.  Sometimes exchange are difficult to follow up when it comes to slow transaction. But I'm not saying all.

[ricardobs]

in coins.ph because theres an assurance that it is safe and secured..

coins.ph is only available to the Philippines unless of course the OP is a Philippine. However, for someone who is looking to buy bitcoin with their own fiat, there are some exchanges like Luno that operates in a lot of places in Africa and Europe, some such as remitano which is a P2P exchange with an escrow system and some as well that are direct like localbitcoins.

Once you visit Google and search for where to buy within your country, it would be easy to get an answer to know how to filter the ones that would pay you out. This platform is also an easy way to do that with trusted users via PayPal.

There are lot of ways to buy bitcoin, like buy btc with other people although it takes a lot of risk you can also buy bitcoin in some convenience store that sells bitcoin of course you need your own wallet, there are some famous application to use as a wallet like coins.ph since i'm from the philippines a lot of people recommend it and another way is through exchange like bittrex and poloenix just be careful in your transaction sir.

It is all about doing research within your locality or country, to find out how you can get to buy bitcoin easily. It appears in most countries these days, except for those where there is a serious threat from the government on users of cryptocurrency, you will find some exchanges operational within the country where one can buy directly from fiat or over the counter method as well. P2P is still the easiest at least with localbitcoins, but one will just have to be careful who you are making transactions with.

coins.ph offers services only to few south east countries and unfortunately many people here like me are still awaiting similar services to our countries also. Hopefully when more exchanges start country specific ventures  then we may get much easier ways to buy bitcoins due to their heavy competitions among them.

You can buy successfully in its deep price, i hope you bought already because we are heading to a new trend in bitcoins the price up already and i even dont see that we will go below 7000k again but who knows? its my own prediction. my point is when you think its a good dip to buy dont hesitate to buy because it might be the last dip on that price or it can dip more you need to hold.

[poletando]

yes if you believe in bitcoin and not afraid with loss you can try to buy bitcoin and investing in bitcoin and any ICO, if you want to buy bitcoin you need to buy in the trust place dont buy in the people directly. you can try to buy bitcoin in coinbase( this is the good website to buy and sell bitcoin as i know)

[GrahamMuhr]

The sure way is that you locate a good broker with a good reputation and that in the first proof of purchase you do not invest so much money.

[chel0]

For me, I would suggest you to use coins.ph to buy bitcoins. You just need to create a digital wallet then add funds into it through different cash in outlets using your fiat money. Then using your wallet, you can easily convert your fiat money into  bitcoin. It is proven to be the best and safest way to buy bitcoin here in the Philippines.

[OrangeSeller]

There are number of exchanges that let's you buy bitcoins like bittrex, binance, cryptopia and online wallet provider that also offers bitcoin. You just have to read the guide or FAQ of the site to give you some ideas to purchase some bitcoin. I advice to not purchase any bitcoin from a third-party seller cause it's very risky.

Bittrex or some of the exchanges you have mentioned can easily work with those who already have bitcoin and may want to have some altcoins as well. However, there are so many exchanges locally that anyone can use locally to be able to buy bitcoins directly with fiat and that is usually the easiest way. Even if there is no direct exchange, I am sure in a lot of places, you will find P2P exchanges like localbitcoin and remitano, to enable you buy.

[fleecedamp]

You can buy from any trusted user privately or go for an exchange to buy some for fiats

[Coinmaniaccos]

after many years i trust localbitcoins. many options how to pay and years of trustfull operations

[recklessMe]

If I understood it right, by dangerous you mean risky? Sure, it is.
I'm not the first one in this thread, who suggested you to pay attention to the reputation of exchanges, which you’re going to use. I’d also like to add my own advice for newbies:
1) it would be better to use not only reliable, but understandable exchange to avoid mistakes (personally I started with cex.io, interface is kind of their known advantage).
2) it is safer to keep crypto in your own wallet after buying, coz even the most secure online platform can be hacked.

[ScroodjMoney]

I actually can buy in a retail store, this will direct the fund i will deposit in my personal software wallet. I feel like it's more easier to do this than to buy in exchange.

[Zizi19231]

You can buy Bitcoin through trusted cryptocurrency exchanges where most people buy their Bitcoins, try using coinbase.

[butrsukumpanumet]

There are a lot of trusted exchanger out there that you can try, if you're using other currency than USD then your countries might have their own trusted exchanger which converted local currency to bitcoin.

Every trade has risks, in some there's more while in some there's risk. Your skills would determine your fate. Try not to fear. Good Luck
