&lt;div&gt;This page aims to be the best resource for new users to understand how to buy Bitcoins.&lt;br /&gt;
The existing [[Buying bitcoins]] page is too complex, and not transparent enough for new investors.&lt;br /&gt;
Be extremely careful when buying bitcoins from not accredited websites or individuals. Like in the real world there are many scammers around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more information on buying bitcoins with your credit card, please see the wikipedia page, [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_To_Buy_Bitcoins_With_Your_Credit_Card How To Buy Bitcoins With Your Credit Card], which is dedicated to that payment method.&lt;br /&gt;

[http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2293/how-can-i-buy-bitcoin-via-a-credit-card-or-paypal You can&#039;t directly buy Bitcoins using PayPal], because it is risky for the seller, and therefore few sellers will offer this. There are basically 3 reasons for that:&lt;br /&gt;
 	&lt;br /&gt;
* The buyer of bitcoins can always perform a chargeback and there is no way for the seller to contest that&lt;br /&gt;
 	&lt;br /&gt;
* There are many hacked accounts and when PayPal realizes that such an account has been fraudulently used, they will also perform a chargeback&lt;br /&gt;
 	&lt;br /&gt;
* PayPal doesn&#039;t like bitcoin, as the bitcoin network is in direct competition to it. They will ban accounts that have anything to do with Bitcoins, and freeze their balance.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If you can find another person that is willing to sell them to you, you can transfer him money via whatever method (including PayPal), and he&#039;ll send you the Bitcoins. The following websites can be used to find direct sellers online  [[Bitcoin OTC]], [https://www.bitcoinary.com/ Bitcoinary] or the [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0 Currency Exchange Forum Section]. Be extremely cautious when using those methods, the best way is to ask an admin, moderator or a trusted person. Bitcoins are now also available at [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPCHACM Amazon].

=== Physical Trading ===&lt;br /&gt;

Always choose somebody with many reviews.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Starting in October of 2013, physical Bitcoin ATMs have been in stalled in Canada, Finland, Slovakia, Australia, Germany, and the UK. Use a [http://bitcoinatmexplorer.com/ Bitcoin ATM Locator] to find a machine near you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Anonymity ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is a HUGE demand for buying Bitcoins off the grid due to ever-increasing government regulations and private agency intrusions and discrimination against alternative currencies. &lt;br /&gt;
Due to the possibility of facial recognition cameras at banks and the paper trail involved with credit cards, there are very few options to have high levels of anonymity when buying Bitcoins those ways. DNA, Fingerprints, phone and internet records, audio and video records will not be discussed, but they all are possible tools which attackers could use to uncloak even the stealthiest Bitcoin buyer.&lt;br /&gt;
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy Bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.&lt;br /&gt;
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.&lt;br /&gt;
Many sellers online will also trade Bitcoins for [[MoneyPak]] codes or other cash-like gift codes which can be bought at a local store with cash.&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to buy Bitcoins with a high level of anonymity is by sending cash in the mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exchanges ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The largest and most trusted exchange is [[MtGox]], however in February 2014 they halted withdrawals which created a lack of confidence and a decline in the price of bitcoin. For a list of other major exchanges see [[Buying_bitcoins#Major_Exchanges|Major Exchanges]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Avoiding Scams ==&lt;br /&gt;
Before using any service it is a good idea to look for reviews and feedback from previous customers. This can be done by simply googling the name of the website or company. The bitcointalk forums are also a good place to find discussions and reviews about services. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you can find another person that is willing to sell them to you, you can transfer him money via whatever method (including PayPal), and he&#039;ll send you the Bitcoins. The following websites can be used to find direct sellers online  [[Bitcoin OTC]], [https://www.bitcoinary.com/ Bitcoinary] or the [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0 Currency Exchange Forum Section]. Be extremely cautious when using those methods, the best way is to ask an admin, moderator or a trusted person. Bitcoins are now also available at [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPCHACM Amazon].

=== Physical Trading ===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You might be able to find an individual you can [https://localbitcoins.com Buy bitcoins locally].&lt;br /&gt;
Always choose somebody with many reviews.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Anonymity ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is a HUGE demand for buying Bitcoins off the grid due to ever-increasing government regulations and private agency intrusions and discrimination against alternative currencies. &lt;br /&gt;
Due to the possibility of facial recognition cameras at banks and the paper trail involved with credit cards, there are very few options to have high levels of anonymity when buying Bitcoins those ways. DNA, Fingerprints, phone and internet records, audio and video records will not be discussed, but they all are possible tools which attackers could use to uncloak even the stealthiest Bitcoin buyer.&lt;br /&gt;
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy Bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.&lt;br /&gt;
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.&lt;br /&gt;
Many sellers online will also trade Bitcoins for [[MoneyPak]] codes or other cash-like gift codes which can be bought at a local store with cash.&lt;br /&gt;
Another way to buy Bitcoins with a high level of anonymity is by sending cash in the mail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Exchanges ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The largest and most trusted exchange is [[MtGox]], however in February 2014 they halted withdrawals which created a lack of confidence and a decline in the price of bitcoin. For a list of other major exchanges see [[Buying_bitcoins#Major_Exchanges|Major Exchanges]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Avoiding Scams ==&lt;br /&gt;
Before using any service it is a good idea to look for reviews and feedback from previous customers. This can be done by simply googling the name of the website or company. The bitcointalk forums are also a good place to find discussions and reviews about services. &lt;br /&gt;
