There are various methods available for buying bitcoins. If you are located in the USA, Circle and Coinbase are your best options. See here for a Newb-friendly version of this page.

NOTE: For taking advantage of Bitcoin volatility you are able to trade CFDs through AvaTrade or Plus500. When trading online your capital may be at risk. Trading CFDs is suitable for more experienced traders.

Warning: Please be careful with your money. When sending money to an exchange or seller you are trusting that the operator will not abscond with your funds and that the operator maintains secure systems that protect against theft -- internal or external. It is recommended that you obtain the real-world identity of the operator and ensure that sufficient recourse is available. Because Bitcoin services are not highly regulated a service can continue operating even when it is widely believed that it is insecure or dishonest and webpages recommending them (including these) may not be regularly updated. Exchanging or storing significant amounts of funds with third-parties is not recommended.

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 market but instead is a broker that buys and/or sells coins. Those exchanges are found in the list of fixed-rate exchanges.

Exchanges are listed in alphabetical order.
