Title: A little confused/frustrated, want to get started with bitcoin
Post by: MikeDealman on January 24, 2013, 09:36 pm
I have never used BTC, currently have none and want to start making purchases on SL.  Can anyone advise me on the fastest way to get bitcoin?

I have a bitcoin address.  I have bank account/paypal/cash.   There is so much info and so many vendors I just don't know the best way to go about it.  Can anyone help me?

1) Watch this video, it will explain the entire process of converting your money into bitcoins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejiqbzqmxSE

2) Set up an online bank account at Dwolla --> Exchange $$$ for bitcoins at Mt. Gox --> Transfer BTC to your Silk Road wallet.
