Where can I buy bitcoin as a newbie?

[Godlovesyou]

Many newbies wish to buy bitcoin but most at times we buy in a wrong place, like the case of a brother who I taught what cryptosystem is about, after 3weeks of spending time with him. He avoid secretly just make sure I don't have the knowledge of how much he has and how much he wants to invest.

He went and meet some crypto vendors to buy bitcoin of $700 without my knowledge, which they actually create a wallet for him and buy bitcoin, lately to him, it was increasing in price because of recent bulls.

But unfortunately it was a scam site, he can not access the site again, he can't find the guy the create the wallet.

I suggest newbies to visit bitcoin.com and buy any cryptocurrency. You can buy with you gift card, debit card, bank account, apps wallet and so on to avoid loss. In block chain one hardly loss wallets except you loss private keys but if you go to wrong site you will loss everything.

Sorry for your brother loss but you changed from "Where can I buy bitcoin" to "Where can my brother buy bitcoin". Your story is confusing.

This story has a message that if you are lazy and careless with your capital, no one can save you. There is no free lunch, and if you want to have it, spend some time to learn and do your own research always. Don't rely on anyone to buy anything for you.

I suggest newbies to visit bitcoin.com and buy any cryptocurrency.

What?

Again you changed from Bitcoin to any cryptocurrency. Confusing again.

• Bitcoin [dot] com is a site of a scam team (Bitcoin Cash team). They wanted to claim Bitcoin Cash as a real Bitcoin.
• On that site, I saw they have Wrapped Bitcoin which is a token and not a real Bitcoin. It can be de-pegged too.
• Don't buy Bitcoin Cash or Wrapped Bitcoin

How do I become productive in this forum?. Being a good member does not mean you must be productive in creating topics like these. Focus on quality, not quantity but you should not chase any of them, let it be naturally.

I'm sorry and no offence but I find the story about you and your brother a little suspicious. I mean, you said you taught him about cryptocurrency/cryptosystem/bitcoin, but then he made sure that you have no knowledge of his plan on buying/investing or how much he is going to invest. what he did doesn't make any sense and shouldn't you be the one he trusts with those kinds of things?

Op your post is about your brother putting his BTC into get rich quick platforms; this has nothing to do with how to buy bitcoin; if he wanted to make a quick profit with his BTC, you couldn't stop him; it's his bitcoin, his decision. Today, most people in BTC has learned the hard way, and he has learned his lessons.

If you value your privacy, you would not advise someone to buy bitcoin with debit cards or anything else tied to your real-life identity. Newbies should know how to buy bitcoin through p2p.

tranthidung, Please stop paying attention. This guy has another alt account (I assume) named JamesBorn. Both accounts are from Nigeria. JamesBorn was caught doing plagiarism. Both accounts create threads full of fairy tales (Most of them are sob stories) and leave the thread without any answer. People ask them many questions, and some users want to help them but guess what.

They never return to their thread to check what's going on there. JamesBorn created 62 threads out of his 100 Posts, while Godlovesyou created 49 threads out of his 81 posts. He doesn't even know what he is writing. You have more important things to do (I liked the hidden page list). Stop wasting your time responding to those spammers.

[Husires]

Invest when others want to sell and sell when others want to buy. It is a simple strategy for those who do not want to think a lot. There is another trend, which is immortal, as you ignore the time factor and buy at a fixed amount every time period, (i.e. every day or week.)

It's a bad place to know or learn anything about Bitcoin, it's biased towards Bitcoin Cash and gives a lot of misinformation.

This forum is an ideal place to learn, ask here without shame.

Newbies has to be one of the most overused words in the forum. Users just create a basic thread, throw in that it's an advice for newbies and it barely crosses the spam barrier and doesn get deleted.

I suggest newbies to visit <snip>

I suggest newbies do their own research and not rely on advice from other forum members.

There are so much controversies surrounding your post. Among all the inconsistencies the one that caught my memory and didn't allow me to ignore is that bitcoin.com is the best place to buy bitcoin. Please where did you get this information?
How where you able to teach someone about bitcoin and cryptocurrency for 3 weeks and yet you haven't taught the person where to buy bitcoin.
The messages are  not connected please,  next time make it more connected and believeable even if it is not.

I am sorry for your brother's loss it's a big amount of money, Did you ask the reason why he buy Bitcoin secretly without your help? Your story is a little confusing, but if you say so.  There are a lot of scammers that do this kind of scam, I also have a friend that got a scam that is really similar to this, he invested in a guy and got an agreement that he would buy Bitcoin for him and put it on a wallet then they could split the profit in the future, but the guy disappears and scam my friend's money. He has a bad experience with cryptocurrency so I told him what he does is wrong since he trusted his money with other people, I told him that if he doesn't want to learn bitcoin and invest on her own just dont buy Bitcoin at all.

The easiest way to buy bitcoin depends on your country, for me buying bitcoin on Binance exchange and then sending it to my wallet is the best and fastest way.

After seeing these incidents, it reminds me why we should avoid these centralized websites. Also, since you use a centralized exchanger, why don't you choose a good one! For me 700 dollar is not small amount I feel sad for that.  And if you have problems with buying directly in the decentralized system, then you can choose Binance as a centralized exchanger as a beginner, here you can directly buy some other types of Cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin through P2P through any type of mobile banking or bank.
But you should be also remembered that for holding bitcoin centralised exchangers are not right place so I would like tp suggestion for you to transfer those bitcoins funds on a good noncustodial wallet and it can be more better if you hold those fund on hardware wallet for risk.

Recommending bitcoin dot com to buy bitcoin/crypto is like telling people to buy high-end luxury from an eBay seller with zero feedback. You're likely to get screwed one way or another simply because the source has always been shady in the first place.

[decodx]

That's why it's always important to be careful when buying Bitcoin. There are unfortunately a lot of scammers out there trying to take advantage of people's lack of knowledge. I've heard some horror stories about people losing their life savings to crypto scams. I suggest researching the platform thoroughly before making any transactions. It's also helpful to seek advice from experienced investors or join a community of like-minded individuals, like this forum, who can provide support and guidance.

OP, I noticed that you suggested using the bitcoin.com exchange, but I think there are better options available. It's a good idea to ask around in your local community to find the most reputable and suitable crypto exchange for your specific location and needs. Factors such as the availability of fiat deposits and other specifics may vary depending on your location.

[Agbe]

You can buy bitcoin from someone you know if they have it in their possession. Then you can also use exchange platforms to buy bitcoin as a newbie. But the most reliable source of buying bitcoin is the p2p but it is very difficult to see someone who is selling bitcoin in the locality. Though countries differ  and if that can't be gotten then you apply for the exchange platforms to get your Coins.

The easiest way to buy bitcoin depends on your country, for me buying bitcoin on Binance exchange and then sending it to my wallet is the best and fastest way.

This is considered one of the safest ways. But you can imagine a beginner what offers he will find and how he will choose between them. The mistake that Op made is that he did not research enough before choosing where to invest, whether to choose the platform or to research the background of the person who suggested a specific platform. Perhaps for this reason, most of the victims of this type of scam are beginners.
The best option for beginners is to follow the advice of proven and reliable experts. The forum here represents the best space in which a beginner can ask general questions and get useful answers if he does not want to bother with searching. Even the first purchases can be made directly peer-to-peer with one of the members who provide sales services and have proven their reliability. This is much better than taking risks without expecting results.

[Oneandpure]

For beginner need to create local exchange market if want to buy or invest in bitcoin, I know with several respond recommended hold and save bitcoin in hardware wallet but impossible for beginner to buy Bitcoin without exchange market.  Local market is possibility and most recommended because OP directly available deposit their cash money trough their local back to exchange market. Later depend on OP want holding in local exchange market or move it to hardware wallet have more security with holding assets at the future.

I am so sad to heard with your loss $700 because wrong site investing Bitcoin, many people created fake and scam website recommended us to deposit bitcoin there.

Was this really necessary to tell everyone?? ...
C'monnnn, your topic doesn't even collerate with your content....at first, I thought you asked a question, but when I came in, I realized you're only tryna tell us how much your brother hates to build a single trust on you,... Now how's anyone's problem?? You see the reasons why I had advised that you really need to be careful yeah?? I understand you're trying to show up and learn; you also wanna grow, but then you need to be yourself... This can't be an original piece from your mind... You only thought you could make peeps become pathetic about the story then, maybe you could earn a handful of merits from there ...SIT UP!!!

From your story I feel like you don't give him basic knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Buying bitcoin from trusted sources should be priority while teaching anyone about cryptocurrency. Which clearly you have failed to do. So your brother ghosted you because he find something fishy in you and got scammed by a fake site.

[tabas]

www.bitcoin.com

IIRC, this is owned by Ver and that guy has been against to bitcoin then after being said as the bitcoin jesus because he has made a fork of bitcoin which is now Bitcoin Cash. Instead of going with that website, there are other ways of doing it and you can see the variety of exchanges (dex and cex) from this section. It's terrible to see your brother that lost into a scam website after hiding his activities of buying bitcoin from you, I guess that he's planning to surprise you then but he was advised in a wrong way and did fell for a website that's not even popular and turned out to a scam. Tell your brother that there will be no more secrets and approach you every time he's interested to buy bitcoin. If you guys are okay with centralized exchanges;
https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/

And if with decentralized exchanges;
https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/dex/ but add hodlhodl.com into it.

[Ndabagi01]

Your brother is just unlucky. After 3 weeks of teaching him about bitcoin, I'm sure you've come to a teaching about how to acquire bitcoin, where to get them, and the type of wallet to use, as well as talking more about private and public keys. It's surprising your brother was easily duped; if he wasn't a slow learner, he would have learned what you've taught him and would be mindful of every step he takes, even if it's outside of your knowledge. This is a classic case of "once bitten, twice shy."

[Taskford]

I don't know if you are asking about where to buy bitcoin or you are promoting a site which newbie can buy bitcoin since your lost is really confusing.

For newbies who want to buy some bitcoin maybe they should check if there's legitimate platform on their country available so that it can save up their time and move to execute risky things just get some bitcoins. Also avoid doing p2p trade when you don't know what things to consider to avoid scam.
