Not new to bitcoin. New to buying it though

[Naer]

Question. When i buy it through blockchain, is it an instantaneous transfer,  i can convert it back to usd at will? Is there a wait time?

I don't think a lot of people use the blockchain to buy. at least I never did
I would recommend you to use the Currency exchange section & search the rates you want to trade with other members with the payment that you want (Paypal,Netteler etc..) or there is localbitcoins.com , pretty famous & trusted

You don't, the block chain is bitcoin's ledger.

blockchain.info is a wallet service that does not sell bitcoin.

There are plenty of places to buy bitcoins...

it depends on where you are from
but if you are from US you should use circle or coinbase to buy

[LordSonjai]

coinbase is your best bet,they are "insured". I sure hope they aren't lying to me,the majority of my coin are located there.

If you're based in the US, you have 3 options.

Coinbase:

https://www.coinbase.com/

Link your Bank and Credit Card for instant purchases.  You'll have to get to Level 2 before you can instant buy at certain amounts.  Takes a few days to get verified for bank.

Circle:

https://www.circle.com/en

Similar to Coinbase, use either Bank or Credit Card, no fees, doesn't have the level system Coinbase has.

LocalBitcoins:

https://localbitcoins.com/

Don't have to get verified, but buying Bitcoins here is usually at a premium or markup price.  Have to find trusted sellers with lots of history.  Can be done by variety of methods: Bank deposit, Paypal, Western Union, Dwolla, Moneypak, Venmo, Amazon Gift Card, or the recommended way in person in cash.
