Can I Buy Bitcoin Using Cash?

[johnt22]

In the past I've purchased Bitcoin by transferring funds from my checking account to Coinbase but that is taking 1 week. Can I buy Bitcoin using Cash? If so, how?

There are actually a few ways to buy bitcoin with cash. Just a forewarning that using cash is most likely going to come with additional fees.

Bitcoin ATMs: There are maps that can be used to find if there are any ATMs around you. I like https://coinatmradar.com/ . The thing to keep in mind with an ATM is although it is a quick transfer, it comes with very high fees and may not be worth it depending on how much you plan on buying. I believe they also have daily limits, or at least limits on the amount you're allowed to trade for per trade.

Localbitcoins.com has already been suggested, this one is probably the first place you'd want to check out.

Finally, in my area at least, if you just go to google and search for "bitcoin ATM near me" there may be ATMs that can be found on your map. The interesting thing when you do this though is I've found some pawn shops in my area that also sell cryptocurrency. Definitely worth checking these out if there are some in your area, but always make sure to find out what the fees will be. It may be worth it to just wait for the online transactions to go through.

From what country you lived so that the community can give you a closed to specific answer.

There are your options:

a) At most of the cases, there are local crypto exchangers in a certain country which is way more easy and less hassle to used since it touches most of the local payment processor in your area.

b) Localbitcoins.com (as suggested above)

c) Bitcoin ATM (as suggested above)

d) Search for your local crypto group in social media and see if there are persons or group who have that kind of service. It's common now to save fees and minimize the risks of using third party exchanger. Of course as part of security measure, take a vouch for their legitimacy.

e) Continue to deal with Coinbase.

I think it depends on were u from.  M from S.A and wev got few People who sale btc for cash.

You're talking cash, not using electronic devices for payment? Then you have to buy to your friends or BTC owners around you directly. Let them transmit BTC as much as your funds and at current market prices, then you pay it in cash.

Dont know if it gain much time wise but arrange a deal with a seller and a escrow where you mail the funds and once received the escrow release the BTC.

Thank you for all the great replies...One other question, does anyone know of any exchanges that allow you to purchase bitcoin with credit card or prepaid debit card? Coinbase use to allow Credit Cards but stopped doing so and they do not allow prepaid debit cards.

If you want to buy bitcoin should select the reputable address. Because these transactions are not protected by the authorities and are based on individual credibility. Wish you luck in this market.

I haven't made any cash trade in cryptocurrencies but you can definitely go with sites like localbitcoins where you will find the traders who are willing to accept cash against their Bitcoins. On the other hand, you can also find local groups trading in cryptocurrencies through social media platforms. However, since localbitcoins has inbuilt automated escrow system it is highly recommended to go with that way.

In my country i can use cash to buy bitcoin, i deposit my cash to my exchange, and then i can buy bitcoin with easy.

[trumper]

You can buy it by finding someone trusthworthy in localbitcoins but I would never recommend face to face trade of bitcoin to anyone. That's the most riskiest way.
