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.

Hey Dave, welcome and thanks for making this very nice guide! I will bookmark it and share with people who I introduce to Bitcoin and who might ask me the same questions as people have asked you!
Even though there are some things that I wouldn't do as a beginner, I think that these things are OK to slide for the beginners! They will get away with them.
