Re: where can i buy bitcoins?

Localbitcoins is the best place to buy bitcoins as there are many trusted traders with high trust ratings and as soon as they receive your deposit they will transfer bitcoins instantly to your wallet.

It's as good as any other. Localbitcoins is ok only if you're willing to meet up and have time for it all. Also in many areas there are no nearby vendors.
It's much easier and faster to simply make an account on one of the more anonymous exchanges like btc-e and have coins on your personal wallet in 30 min.

Localbitcoins is the go to place to really buy bitcoins. But sometimes the rates there are pretty bad, it just depends on your area, I guess. Though all other service will likely charge more, others even charge about 10% which is totally outrageous already.

And it's totally not worth it if you're thinking about trading, because you'll have to set up an account with one of the exchanges either way and that 10% can make a huge difference. It can take months for Bitcoin to gain enough value for you to earn anything. Localbitcoins is ok only if you're trying to stay anonymous and avoid the big brother Wink
