Title: How do you get your bitcoins?
Post by: mgmt72 on September 15, 2012, 12:26 am
Hey everyone I have always wondered what the easiest way to get bitcoins. How do you get your bitcoins? Is there anyway to buy them online with credit card. I have bought from eBay before but there hard to find and overpriced. Whats the best way in your opinion?

well majority of the people get them from mtgox.com, or you could sell something for bitcoin, or find someone locally to buy it from.

Did something go wrong with Blueskytraders? You gave them a firm recommendation in their review thread.

Intersango (usually need a reminder to actually transfer money to my account ::) ) can be pretty fast..
Blizzcoin when I'm in desperate need for some quick coins, pay a little extra but instant coins.

bitinstant.com; cash to bitcoins via deposit at the bank is pretty convenient!

BitMe.com, it's a small (apparently one-man) operation, but I've done 2 transactions (Chase bank deposit, no other major banks in my area so bitinstant isn't very useful there) without any problems, turned the money over to Mt. Gox within an hour to trade for bitcoins. Highly recommend. Bitinstant is always good, though, if a bit heavy on fees.

bitinstant.com  --> local bank w/ cash. 

+ it's fast : you'll have Bc in your wallet within a couple hours

+it's anonymous : no need for ID, or to say anything other than, "I'd like this money to go to this account"

+it's professional : on the printout that you hand the teller, there's no mention of bitcoin, bitinstant, you, or anything, looks pro-legit

- it's a bit of a hassle : can't do it from the comfort of your own bum on the computer

- it's not free : they take roughly $5 for every $100, so your $500 cash deposit becomes $475 in your wallet
