Thank you very much for the hint. As a buyer, what should I be worry off? Some they accept Interac and some ask for cash in person.
If I go with Interac, what should I ask the seller to provide me, or I should only be worry when I am selling?
Thanks once again

Thanks for your reply. Not scared but I do not want to be different. I saw many people using screen names not real name and also for security reasons just in case if none knows my real name that might help a bit to be more secured. I might be wrong.
Thanks a lot.

Hi
I just signed up with Localbitcoins.com. I put an order to buy bitcoin and I start chatting with the seller. His/her name was screen name (not real life name) while mine was the real name. Can I change that? If yes how.
Thank you so much

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.
So here what I want to do or thinking of doing.. I want to create an account to buy bitcoin, maybe I will hold it and maybe I will sell it later.
It is so confusing to me so far. Anyway I just signed up with Localbitcoins.com
I see (i think people name) listing the price of bitcoin they want to sell. 
So what should I do ? What knowledge I need to do that (buying or later selling bitcoins)
Thank you so much once again

Thank you so much for your reply Dudeperfect. I went and signed up with Localbicoin. I have the following questions if you do not mind please

1) I see sellers and buyers, does that mean this side basically allowing user to buy bitcoin from different users on the internet who are willing to sell their bitcoin? If yes then Localbicoin work as a middle man, right?

2) If I bought bitcoin from a seller, where my bitcoin are going to be saved? in Localbicoin? If yes, do they charge for this service?

3) If I have bought bitcoin from a seller, I can be a seller too later right? and if I sell something I can ask the buyer to deposit the money into my account right (bank acct if i am using Interac)

4) You mention to use irreversible payment. Not sure if I got the idea but as you mention later Inerac. Why is that, so people can not have access to my bank acct etc.  I mean it is saver?

5) Localbicoin.com is also asking to upload a copy of my ID. Is that safe to do so?

Sorry for my ignorant but I am learning and a bit of worry and scared. So I want to be more educated and  I thank you for my bottom heart for all your help.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I new to this. I was thinking to buy some and hold them. But also I would love to know how to trade because I might trade them too.
Now I am thinking, if these are exchanges, then where my account/money will be hold?
Are these exchanges give you an option to open acct and save your bitcoin there or just to buy?
I will try to go to Kraken site now to find out more about it. Thanks a lot.

Hello
I would appreciate any advised/help on buying bitcoin. I tried coinbase.com but they are cancelling my orders. I gave up with coinbase. Any help please. Thank you so much.

I have Visa Card with Royal Bank but I do not have Royal Bank acct. I deleted my saving account with them and kept my Visa. I have been using the Visa to buy stuff online etc no problem. Coinbase sent me 2 transactions one is 1.25 and 1.39 (I do not recall exact amount but something like that). So I used them to verify my coinbase acct on their website. So I expected that I would be able to make a purchase but no that is not the case!!

Thanks for your reply, what is the alternative?

Thanks for your reply. How do I authenticated my back account with coinbase?
Yes I used my visa when I registered and opened my acct. Coinbase sent me 2 transactions to verify my account. They asked me to enter the amount of the transactions and I did and that was part of my account verification. Thanks once again.

Sorry you are right, I meant Coinbase.com. Thanks

Hi
I want to buy bitcoin from CoinBase. I followed the steps here

https://www.c[Suspicious link removed]m/2017/06/24/how-to-buy-bitcoin-ethereum.html

(How to buy Bitcoin in seconds from your smartphone - by CNBC)

and created an account and verified my account etc. Then for more than a week, I try to buy bit coin and everything goes well but then BaseCoin send me an email to say the order has been cancelled. I tried to contact them but no luck.

My questions:
1) as per the above link, I do not need to do anything else rather than creating an account. Is that the case?
2) I heard here or searching the internet I heard something like "coin wallet" or hardware wallet. Do I need to create one so I can buy bitcoins?
3) I live in Canada. Do you know other good and trusted side to buy bitcoin rather than basecoin since I failed to buy so far

your help would be very much appreciated.

PS: sorry I meant coinbase

Sorry I can not post a new post so I wanted o see if I can reply to a post. Can someone tell me why is that
so sorry for the off topic
