Hi Everyone Im a newbie and have been reading up on BitCoin over the last 8 hours. Im a US person and plan to use BitCoin for gambling.
I was originally going to sign up for coinbase, but there are reports of them blocking gambling transactions. Because of that, I signed up for blockchain.info.
It appears I cannot actually buy bitcoins from blockchain.info, so I clicked through their partner btc.sx
I created an account, then realized I couldnt buy BitCoins there as they state To use BTC.sx, deposits must be made in Bitcoin.
So how do I actually buy Bitcoins and get them into blockchain.info? I dont have a desire for a face to face transaction, so I would like to pay using a US bank account. Would I buy them at Cirlce, then transfer them to blockchain.info?
Of your options, I would buy through circle and transfer to blockchain. Buying from a person needs a little bit of orangization and trust, I personally prefer exchanges.
Can you not buy from Coinbase? They are an official US exchange now, with VC money behind them, they should be safe as houses.
