Madmax: /* Fixed Rate Exchanges & Others */

There are various methods available for '''buying bitcoins'''. See [[Buying Bitcoins (the noob version)|here for a Newb-friendly version]] of this page.

{{Counterparty-warning}}

==Market Exchanges==

Market exchanges are those in which buy orders are matched with sell orders, so the price offered depends on the market. If a service quotes a price then it is not operating a [http://bitcoincharts.com/markets market] but instead is a broker that buys and/or sells coins. Those exchanges are found in the list of [[Buying bitcoins#Fixed_Rate_Exchanges_.26_Others|fixed-rate exchanges]].

Exchanges are listed in alphabetical order.

Physical Bitcoins are bearer tokens that have an embedded redeemable digital bitcoin value if torn open. While they are somewhat expensive if bought purely for the digital bitcoins, they are relatively easy to get, because they can be purchased with PayPal or credit card - payment methods typically not accepted for pure digital bitcoin purchases.

Buying Bitcoins (the newbie version)

2013-08-20T02:09:01Z

Madmax:

This page aims to be the best resource for new users to understand how to buy Bitcoins.
The existing [[Buying bitcoins]] page is too complex, and not transparent enough for new investors.
Be extremely careful when buying bitcoins from not accredited websites or individuals. Like in the real world there are many scammers around.

{{Counterparty-warning}}

== Intro ==
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.

[http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2293/how-can-i-buy-bitcoin-via-a-credit-card-or-paypal You can't reliably buy Bitcoins using PayPal], because it is risky for the seller, and therefore few sellers will offer this. There are basically 4 reasons for that:
* The TOS of PayPal actually prohibit buying digital currency with it
* The buyer of bitcoins can always perform a chargeback and there is no way for the seller to contest that
* There are many hacked accounts and when PayPal realizes that such an account has been fraudulently used, they will also perform a chargeback
* PayPal doesn't like bitcoin, as the bitcoin network is in direct competition to it

=== Anonymity ===
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.
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.
There are a couple known ways, depending on your location, to buy bitcoins outside of the standard banking system with relatively high anonymity.
Buying locally with cash using a burner or payphone allows a high level of anonymity with the exchange being the weakest link.

==Physical Bitcoins==

Physical Bitcoins are bearer tokens that have an embedded redeemable digital bitcoin value if torn open. While they are somewhat expensive if bought purely for the digital bitcoins, they are relatively easy to get, because they can be purchased with PayPal or credit card - payment methods typically not accepted for pure digital bitcoin purchases.
