Title: obtaining bitcoins safely
Post by: santbarna on December 13, 2012, 06:34 am
Im new and have been reading through the forums on just about every topic. I am now wondering about the best way to go about buying bitcoins. Is it best to use money gram, since it's untraceable, or does it really not matter if they are taken from your bank account? I know once you buy bitcoins, they become untraceable, so I didnt know if for any reason it would be unwise to buy them using your bank account.

Buying bitcoins is not illegal, yet. However, one would want to remain anonymous when purchasing them so as to minimize any chance of yourself being connected with them. It really depends on what country your in with regards to the "best method" of buying coins. IMO, I would NOT want a bank account I hold tied up with a bitcoin purchase, FULL STOP. There are many ways to buy coins, but how ever you choose to do so, minimize any risk by retaining your anonymity. There are many threads on this forum covering ways of buying coins. Just do your homework and don't rush things.  :)

I deposit cash at a bank & write a made up name on the deposit slip. Fee's are a little high but coin always comes through quickly & I can't see how they would track cash deposits with any efficiency.
