Where to buy bitcoin?

0.1 isn't "such a small sum" at all - it's 100 mBTC. You dnitely shouldn't be put off by the fact you can't get a whole bitcoin; at this point, the vast majority of arrivers to the bitcoin scene have less than 1 BTC.

He stated he is looking to buy 0.01 not 0.1. Furthermore, restating the amount he wants to purchase in mB instead of BTC helps him no way.

Investing 10 dollars won't do much unless you intend to gamble with it. I personalturned $28.50 USD to $400 in a matter of days.

As I acknowledged later in the thread. Read the whole thing before you criticise people.

Gambling? You sound like an excellent person to be giving investment advice

Amount being small or big is not important. How you are thinking about yourself which is the attitude. There are chances that you may not achieve what you think. For example, you may not achieve any big profit from 0.1. However, as experience adds, you will get big profits after sometime.

Buying 0.01 BTC is best at localbitcoins, not worth sending SEPA bank transfers (or international) to exchanges because of higher bank fees

Coinbase.com is what I use

No, I'm pretty sure they're just a BTC wallet. You can send funds from there to BTC e or Mt. Gox to trade for alt coins, though.

Does anyone know what the process is like for putting USD into localbitcoin escrow? Like, is a lot of banking information required? Does verification take a long time? Is it better just to trade in person with cash?

I read about it on their website, but it was kind of vague....

Also got my first coin on localbitcoins.com it worked out pretty well for me. But still be careful.
