If I want to buy some bitcoin I have to get verified first and link a bank account. It is @#%^ing ridiculous.
If I ever buy bitcoin it will have to be in-person with someone who has them. Selling is the same deal.

Will we ever be able to buy and sell bitcoin easily?

You will soon be able to buy them at any 7-11 in the US.  Stay tuned.  Bitcoin is still growing.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

You can buy and sell on the forums easily. People will take bank transfer. Just remember to use a trusted escrow.

Yeah. There's a few different ATMs, so some may only accept cards or whatnot, but there's definitely ones that accept fiat. Not sure about ones that dispense fiat.

Very nice, hopefully more follows soon. But it is all about how quickly they can pay the ATM investment from fees...

I think this is the single most important factor which dissuades the mainstream population from using Bitcoin. It definitely has the capacity for the same level of anonymity as cash transactions but sadly not the versatility.

Being able to use pre-paid Debit Cards to buy Bitcoins would be a great addition.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

And if you'r not living in the USA it's even more painful.
But as it get's accepted broadly this will improve.

The exchanges are just trying to comply with current anti money laundering laws.  When you open a bank account you have to do the same thing.  The only difference here is you cannot just give them your lic to make a copy on the copier.  You actually have to send it into someone you do not see.  It comes down to trust.  If you are uneasy with that, then you are right you will have limited access.

BTC is about freedom and no government control(over the currency at least),
exchanges are not.

Using government currency to buy BTC then sell for government currency,
not what BTC was designed for.

ATMs/Exchanges are junk... I want a BTC supermarket where I can buy my food/electronics with BTC, screw the governments money.

Also I want a part time job at said supermarket where I receive my paycheck in BTC.

Also How about some farmers/butchers who sell their produce to the supermarket for BTC?

That is where BTC should go, Not a secondary currency, A PRIMARY currency or a PREFERRED currency.

I agree. One of the easiest ways to get started is to setup a wallet and then buy some BTC from a friend and have him send it to you. If you don't know anyone, coinbase is a decent option but they require a lot of personal information and waiting period to get verified. Localbitcoins would be another alternative worth looking into.

The average citizen does not care whether or not their monetary supply is controlled by the government; the average person will at most only think about how easily they can move it, save it, spend it and what they can buy with it.

The quote Nicholas Cage in Lord of War, "This is small f-ing potatoes."

What about paying for your rent in Bitcoin? What about paying for your monthly insurance premium in Bitcoin? What about paying for large medical expenses in Bitcoin? What about saving for your child's college education and paying it in Bitcoin?

These things are ridiculously difficult to get a hand on from where I live. I don't even want to be able to cash them out in USD I just want to buy and hold onto them until a time when they are so mainstream I would be able to walk up to an atm and withdraw.

Easiest way. Takes forever to wire money and get your account verified. Easier to cash out this way though.

Bitcoin ATM to use for deposit and withdraw would be easiest solution, now it is really complicated to use the exchanges. There are only few Bitcoin ATMs so far, but I guess in next years it will be better

You will soon be able to buy them at any 7-11 in the US.  Stay tuned.  Bitcoin is still growing.

I sure hope you are right sir. I have to agree with the OP.. I'm new to cryptocurrencies and I would love an easy way to buy some with my credit/debit card, with cash, with paypal or any other way I buy things online easily.. Unfortunately this is not the case especially for people who live in the US.. I was looking at BTC-e and it seems to me they've made it nearly impossible to deposit/withdraw money from/to the US...

A year ago, there were 0 ATMs.
Adoption and ease of use will keep growing but this is a process ... it will not happen overnight.
For now, you either need to provide the requested documents or stick to in person trading.

Why does it seem like all these BTC companies are doing sketchy stuff?  I read all these stories about taking funds, or not depositing funds into an account after the exchange had the money for like weeks.

Isn't it hardto buy in person too, like when does the person send it to you and you give them the money?

Why does it seem like all these BTC companies are doing sketchy stuff?  I read all these stories about taking funds, or not depositing funds into an account after the exchange had the money for like weeks.

Isn't it hardto buy in person too, like when does the person send it to you and you give them the money?

Coinbase is probably the best you can probably get, although they are not an exchange themselves.

Head over to localbitcoins.
I promise you that you will surely not be disappointed.

That's not a promise that you can make.  The experience with localbitcoins vendors is likely to vary significantly between regions and vendors.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

If I want to buy some bitcoin I have to get verified first and link a bank account. It is @#%^ing ridiculous.
If I ever buy bitcoin it will have to be in-person with someone who has them. Selling is the same deal.

Will we ever be able to buy and sell bitcoin easily?

I too found it difficult to but bitcoins.  Handing money over and then trusting them to transfer was worrying.  There are a lot of factors that play into it.

Signing up for Coinbase is kinda of a pain, since they do require a lot of documentation and it takes about 5 days to initially attach it to your bank account then another 30 days to get to a point where it's all kinds of awesome.  Once you're all setup, you can buy up to 10 BTC instantly, like REALLY instantly, and it's fantastic.  When I was first starting out, and waiting for my Coinbase to confirm, I just used my friends account to buy BTC (deposited into his bank first, of course!), you might want to ask some of your close/IRL friends and see if any of them already have an account setup.

localbitcoins is a great alternative to this, if you don't want to wait that long or give out your personal information.  My experience with localbitcoins has been limited, but from my understanding, most/all exchanges are done using escrow (a middle man holds the funds until both parties have have confirmed the transaction) which can make the whole experience a lot safer.  Alternatively, you can use it to find people and meet up in person.  There is a few great write-ups about meeting in person, most of them caution you to use common sense… meet at a busy public location, stuff like that.

Lastly, there's always faucets for getting BTC.  They aren't fast, but they are free. Smiley

P.S.  DON'T GAMBLE WITH BITCOINS!  You'll regret it, I promise.

Here is their "official" thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86012.0

BTW, it is not very good but this site does have a SEARCH feature.  See the search box?

Also, there is a new web site called "Google" you can type in things like "localbitcoins" and they will find it for you.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

I'm Canadian and I wish there was a way for me to buy btc or mbtc without having to go to the bank. I sucks that I would have bought btc when they were cheap if it wasn't so complicated, for example I rmb going to coinbase about a year ago but they didn't sell to Canadians.

I found one site that sells btc via e-banking transfer but because those transactions can apparently be reversed you can only buy up to .04 btc at a time and there is a significant fee built into the price.

What's the best way to buy btc while paying the lowest fee?

Several others have suggested LocalBitcoins.com and I would like to add my +1 to their suggestions.

I have made several BTC purchases from sellers via locabitcoins and each transaction has been completed in less than 2 minutes.

The slowest part was for me to type in my banking security details to my bank website to make the 'faster payment' transfer to the seller. The sellers always released the bitcoins to my localbitcoins account very quickly, within seconds. You can keep in contact with the seller as you proceed through the transaction via the chat window.

Each seller has an 'ebay' style feedback which is clearly visible along with the price that the BTC are being offered at.

For me, it couldn't be quicker or simpler to buy bitcoins using my bank account for funds at LocalBitcoins.com.

You can buy and sell on the forums easily. People will take bank transfer. Just remember to use a trusted escrow.

I understand your frustration, in many countries it is difficult to purchase Bitcoin, it just depends on where you live.
In Canada you can simply walk up to an ATM and buy some Bitcoin with cash.  In Australia you can walk into a bank and deposit directly into the exchanges bank account and have your Bitcoin in minutes.  As Bitcoin becomes more widespread you will find it easier to obtain.

If you can buy a gift card an use it anonymously anywhere, denying bitcoin the same treatment can serve only one purpose -- to protect the financial system monopolies, namely the visa and mastercard networks.

There is a post here saying we will soon be able to buy at 7-11s.  Hope that is true.

You could look for a seller on Local Bitcoins who will allow payment with something reversible like credit card funded PayPal for the added peace of mind. Start small and increase the size of your transactions as you build trust with your seller. Even if someone has 100+ positive feedback, it's possible their account may have been hacked, especially if things seem too good to be true (e.g. a price substantially below that on the exchanges). It never hurts to be safe using a reversible payment method and starting with smaller sized transactions until you gain confidence with your seller. Even if you can get your money back by using something reversible, I really don't think it is worth the risk to transact with someone having no or very low feedback.

But thats just my $0.02.

Well if you live in the US it does not seem hard at all but in other parts of the world forget about it.

Localbitcoins.com -- choose that you want to buy in person.. it's a pretty decent setup:

1. you choose to buy in person from someone local.  you agree on price/exchange rate and a place to meet
2. localbitcoins.com gives you a secret code
3. person selling you bitcoins transfers bitcoins into localbitcoins.com custody.
4. that person then gets the same secret code you already have.  When they can tell you the secret code, you know that the bitcoins are being held by localbitcoins.com.
5. you meet in person.  You flash the cash.  Seller then releases bitcoins from his phone by confirming he has the cash to localbitcoins.com site.
6. then you're both good.

There are lots of online deals and cash deposits into random accounts etc..  That set up definitely DOES work (cashintocoins.com -- no "www"), but doing it with someone you don't know scares the crap out of me, as you are basically completely trusting them to release your bitcoin.

hope this helps.

Yes, it does have good points but the same things are repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Welcome to Bitcointalk.

Almost everything related to bitcoin is typed 10 billion times.
It gets tiresome even reading posts.

This and 3 other threads are the most irritating ones EVER.

The "Will bitcoin reach $1000 one day" thread on newbie talk that keeps reviving itself even though bitcoin already exceeded $1000.
 
I've not seen any form of forum moderation here. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the freedom, just stating a observance.

Yep, thats one of them. There is also the PD signature campaign which has around 100 pages of useless posting.

The moderators don't deal with shitty repetitive posts - they only remove spam and fairly obvious off topic responses which have no merit whatsoever. I don't see it as a big deal, most people tend to post better and more informative opinions after they had time to learn until then they're destined to make posts we consider rather stupid.

If I want to buy some bitcoin I have to get verified first and link a bank account. It is @#%^ing ridiculous.
If I ever buy bitcoin it will have to be in-person with someone who has them. Selling is the same deal.

Will we ever be able to buy and sell bitcoin easily?

We're working on it over at Coin Market. Verification only takes about 2 minutes, give it a shot.

There is reason why they have to ask for this, stolen CC, its to protect you and  more of them because they have no way to know if your CC is stolen or not.
