One of the questions I get asked all the time is How do I buy my first bitcoin.

I put together a comprehensive guide to buy bitcoin for people who want to buy their first bitcoins.

The step-by-step post covers:

• Coinbase - the option most people want.
• LocalBitcoins - if you NEED bitcoins today.
• Buying bitcoin with a brokerage account (IRA, 401K, etc.)
• BitWage - how to get a portion - or all - of your salary in bitcoin.
• Exchanges - for bitcoin traders and experienced investors.
• Why Bitcoin Mining is a bad way to get bitcoins.

If you are a beginner looking to buy bitcoin, let me know what you think.
