Where do you go to buy bitcoins?

[Marbelli]

I withdraw and buy bitcoin only through reliable exchangers in my country. I never bought or sold bitcoins from hand to hand and I’m not going to do that

[Spider A4]

I'm using Coinbase to buy coins, eth or ltc most often. Then I'm sending my new coins to an exchange and that's all, it's very convienient.

I am using https://coinbase.com since 2014 this is most reliable exchange and coinbase is united states company.
But i can't buy or sell using via coinbase because coinbase is restriction in my country. But i keep hold BTC,LTC and ZRX.
Binance is reliable crypto exchange i feel good to using this.

You can buy bitcoin without  to be cheating, I think you should buy it on the trading floor. For myself, I have close friends whom they are investing in bitcoin, I usually exchange with them and sell altcoin to them. So when I have the capital, I usually buy bitcoin from them.

[Dudeperfect]

I was using domestic exchanges to purchase Bitcoin but as of now, my first preference is localbitcoins as you can choose multiple payment options as per the convenience and their automated escrow system ensures security throughout the trade process and I never had issues with localbitcoins in last 2+ years. It might be slower than buying directly from the exchange but it is convenient for me so I prefer it.

We all know of the importance of having cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin, however it is not always clear where they come from. Here in America, my friends and I use Coinbase to purchase and sell Bitcoins, Litecoins, Ethereum, etc. We can also use Coinbase as a wallet and it accepts bank transfers as well.

I have a few friends that use LocalBitcoins to meet up with locals in Los Angeles. I think this is inefficient since it can be time-consuming, however, there are some good deals and you can trust most of the sellers. I've also heard good things about platforms such as Kraken and Changelly.

Theres alot of bitcoin ATM installed in all parts of america so you can purchase anywhere’s you wanted

Theres also many exchanges that offers low fees in transactions

Here in my country our local wallets offers bitcoin and ethereum buying directly so its not really a problem here to buy bitcoins

[idham29]

there is only one official crypto exchanger in my country namely indodax, and I routinely use it as a market transaction. only those who can convert btc from / to IDR legally.

I prefer to buy more altcoins, but bitcoin remains the last conversion for long-term assets, markets like binance etc. are also my main source for buying bitcoin and even trading because of high volume.

[deguzmanwacky]

in our country, Philippines, also has a wallet called coins.ph. Although it still has limited features because it only supports BTC, ETH, BCH, and XRP as of the moment but is useful for us Filipinos because we can ey exchange our money to crypto and vice versa in just a few clicks.

[ethereumhunter]

I think we can use the local seller in our city to buy bitcoin because we can meet that person in anytime and we can feel safe without worry about being a scam. It is what I did so far if I want to buy bitcoin because I have two local sellers who always helps me to get bitcoin and they can give a nice discount. Sometimes we gather in one coffee and make a transaction in that place, and it does not take too long to receive the bitcoin to my wallet. Besides that two local sellers, I use two local exchange to help me to withdraw my bitcoin too and so far, I don't have any problem.

For people new to crypto in the states you seem to be limited to Localbitcoins, Paxful, or Coinbase.
That's where I started out, but it seemed like the more you're in crypto, the easier it is to get more of it.

Here in our country, we can buy bitcoin through a convenience store because they have a machine that you can buy bitcoins, you can also pay bills through that machine in an easy way and fastest way.

i buy my bitcoins from coinbase, which is a very fascinating and wonderful way to buy and trade bitcoins in the digital currency market.

[SimonJones]

I use coinbase to buy bitcoins.

[Nowherman]

Personally I acquire Bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrencies on crypto exchanges such as Poloniex, Binance and Bittrex. In case of urgent purchase of Bitcoin, I use online exchangers. ”Bestchange” service  helps a lot to find the best price.

I followed some of my older brothers to safety pages to buy, so I did not know what to do. But you can rest assured that now many sources of safety are not worried about the future fooled.

In my country it's easiest to buy and get bitcoin,
Through the bitcoin ATM provided and also in Indodax VIP.
Therefore, for Bitcoin transactions it is very easy to process transactions with internet access that is quite supportive.
although currently in my country Bitcoin has not been officially legalized, but crypto support remains from the local government.

[Carrelmae10]

Yes, I think in Indodax, the most appropriate place to buy bicoin if you don't understand can learn with people who know in advance, buy bitcoin and invest your coins in the future, it will definitely be profitable.

Great topic, many people just go to Coinbase or any other of the bigger ones just due to "flock behavior". Don't do that!

In order to find the right place to buy Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency really, you need to find out whether the exchange in question fits your needs.

We at Cryptowisser has developed an exchange finder-tool called the Exchange Finder. In it, you get 6 questions that you answer, and then you are matched with the exchanges matching your input. Do you need credit card deposits? Are you a US-investor? Highest acceptable fees? Cryptocurrency you want to trade? Those are all questions that the Exchange Finder helps you sort by. Alternatively, you can find the relevant information in their Cryptocurrency Exchange List.

Check it out!

All the best,
Cryptowisser

To be honest I used different platforms to do so, all worked fine. 6 months ago I even paid with bitcoin for a property in Italy https://tranio.com/italy/ that was for sale with a special condition that you buy it only with Bitcoin  I love that it is all over now and more people are open minded and into this currency!
