How to buy bit coins.

[austonholleman]

I want to buy bit coins but i am under 18 and everything on local bit coins ask for id except for cash meet up and I'm not comfortable doing money order or cash by mail. I have the money on my debit card  any help please?

I image almost all places have a clause for 18 and up.  If your under 18 i'm sure there are ways to get bitcoin,  but probley is against most TOS agreements on sites. '

Easiest way legally is get parents help.

You can just buy directly on this forum, just go to currency exchange sections and you can buy It there from trusted exchanger. And even better you could use trusted escrow on this forums so you wont get scammed.

If you are in US, buy from coinbase.

If not, buy from bitstamp or use localbitcoin.

Go to an exchange and exchange fiat for BTC.

It depends on the payment methods you have available. If you have PP you may get lucky and get a buyer on these forums or use a site like Virwox and take the hit.

Frankly local bit coins is your best bet.

Not sure if you need to be over 18 to use the exchanges, but I believe your parents are willing to help you.
If you are in US, you can use coinbase. If you are in Europe, you can use Bitstamp.

Play some second life and exchange the SSL for BTC

While OP can use Virwox to buy SLL with paypal deposits, and then buy BTC with SLL, the fee is very high on Virwox.

Earning SLL in second life is a lot harder than earning bitcoin directly IMO.

Localbitcoins.com for in person trades.  It's strange that the sites want you to be 18 to buy some.   
Actually the best way to get some is to do some work and get paid in them.  Might not be too realistic for you depending on where you live though.

Yes Localbitcoins can be a nice solution, you can buy bitcoins and send them to your wallet without registering into any exchange.

This.  And its always good to make new friends.  If you are meeting the person, a lot of times they will help answer some of your questions that you may have, and even share some insights to the ups-and-downs that they experienced when they were first starting out.

If you still have any doubts, go straight to localbitcoin and buy btc meeting people in real life.

I would guess it's done for legal reasons on most.

I have sold many BTC to people under 18 through localbitcoins.com in face-to-face in person cash for BTC trades.  They have all been nice kids. 

Just find a seller with a good reputation in your area and meet them at a coffee shop or other public place.  Have a nice chat and meet a fellow bitcoiner!

Just seems like if safety is a concern, allowing kids to buy them online would be preferable over forcing kids to meetup with strangers.   *Meet in a public place like a coffee shop!

An easiest way to buy bitcoin is you must registered on website that sell bitcoin like bitcoin.co.id
you can buy bitcoin there and deposit your bitcoin in other place like pbmining.com or ceo.ix
hopefully you can get a lot of bitcoin in there ...

I don't think there is any way to verify the purchaser is over 18 right?  Usually I think it's to cover their butts. Just look up exchanges and deposit money to buy bitcoin. I'd try local bitcoins too I've had success there.
