I'm new to crypto. Every exchange I research on to buy bitcoins has a lot of bad reviews. People post that they have lost alot of money/bitcoins on most of the exchanges. Nothing seems safe

Well, first you'll want to identify your specific needs, because there is no one crypto exchange that is a one-size-fits-all solution. We have a pretty extensive guide to choosing an exchange: http://bit.ly/GuideToExchangesHope this helps!

Gdax is a great exchange, never hacked, no fees to do anything at all (even sending away from the exchange).
You also have Binance, which has also never been hacked.

Hey there, Unfortunately that's a very broad, open-ended question. There are so many exchanges out there; some have been around for a long-time and have great reputations, whereas some are on the other end of the spectrum and have been faced with allegations and controversy. Definitely do your research and if you intend to purchase multiple cryptocurrencies, perhaps send your money to an exchange that sells all/most of those currencies. Another key indicator can also be the volume through that particular exchange. For this, go to www.coinmarketcap.com (the holy bible), search for the exchange, and it will tell you the exchange's daily (24hr) volume; if an exchange has put through $1 billion, then it's a good indicator that it's good (for the most part) whereas if the volume is under $1 million, then it may have issues (or may be new/have only low-volume coins). It really is a hard question to answer, but I'm sure you'll make the correct decision. -Knightly

exchanges are big targets right now, stealing traffic from each other. so it makes sense to operate on every single one with maximum precautions and never keep coins there no longer than required for tx to process

If you are from europe and want to buy coins using fiat, i can recommend anycoindirect.eu - a company based in the Netherlands. They accept SEPA as well.
In terms of safety the most recommended exchanges are decentralized, i.e. IDEX, BarterDEX, WavesDEX and probably Binance in a few months.

There are so many exchanges available and as you have noted, there are plenty of negative reviews to go around for each one. Do your own research and see which one caters the most to your needs. Do they support the purchasing method you intend to use? Do they support the coins you want to invest in? Are there geographical limitations to consider? We still find ourselves in the nascent stages of the crypto world. As a result, these exchange platforms are still going through growing pains. That isn't completely the fault of these companies, however, not entirely. Cryptocurrency has yet to solve its scaleability issues and therefore you will continue to see a lot of backlash concerning transactions speeds and fees. For now, go for the exchange that seems the most secure to you. Many of the posts above listed a variety of well-known exchanges, feel free to learn more on how to choose an exchange and check out some of the reputable exchanges we list in our mintdice blog: https://www.mintdice.com/blog/a-guide-to-cryptocurrency-exchangesCheers!

Bittrex, binance, poloniex are considered most trustworthy. Although you need $10.000 worth of crypto if you want to join bittrex.

If you want to be safe and trusted exchange,just using bitrrex or binance but its matter of sad that this exchanger close to new account but you can contract there support system and apply for new account .Now i am using kucoin and binance and bittrex for trading and i hope its best for new tradder and more secuired and trusted site

I use Coinbase. As for me, it is the best and easiest way to buy Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum with the credit card or bank account. It offers to buy and sell cryptocurrency in 32 countries, which is a quite significant amount. Also, it offers an API for developers and merchants to build applications, which makes it even easier to use.

If buying bitcoins or any cryptocurrencies online would have been such a hectic thing, nobody would have been able to do it, everyone would be complaining only. If you've had your own bad experiences (or if not - as if you have not even tried one and came here just to blame exchanges), go through Currency exchange section of the forum here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0to get all your requirements met without the need to register at any of those exchanges you're not familiar/fine with. TBH, there are a lot of great exchanges including, but not limited to, coinbase, kraken, localbitcoins (p2p), bitfinex, bitstamp which will allow you to buy Bitcoins using credit card at a faster speed. If you're not interested in giving your identity to them, you better prefer what I gave you.

One of the most important thing is whether your funds will be able to get through the exchange before you are able to start buying coins / tokens. And another thing is withdrawal.
I remember there is a period where all the funds too very long to go through and some even got rejected (for me is Gatehub) Having real bad experience with them and no customer service at all!
I would suggest Kraken as I had sucessfully transferred funds over without issue. If they do not have the coins or tokens you want, you can try Biannce or Kucoin. These two are my favorite exchanges for Alt coins at the moment.
Usually I will use ETH for transfer as it is faster than BTC
