Create an account and get a wallet. That's it. Multiple payment options including cash deposit only, bank wire deposit, etc. Very large community, reasonable prices buying/selling.

www.localbitcoins.com is good, have used and basically you are purchasing from another individual not a business so can find better rates - at the price now though I'd be waiting for the drop again as it will.

I am a lazy person, so I just purchase via coinbase

Cex for actually exchanging.

Actually the most important for me is how fast users can get bitcoin. Most of the companies require verification and the whole process takes at least a couple of days...

I am wondering if there is an instant/safe method to purchase bitcoin with your credit card!

This is great but how to buy bitcoins themselves anonymously.... hmmm.

Credit Cards: I use Coinbase as well and recently I can add a CC to my account. But it doesn't show up to fund via the CC, it just says "backup".... Maybe if the account is $0 it charges the CC? Not sure...

Coinbase also allows purchases that post in minutes after verifying bank account.

This thread is relevant to my interests, in the past I've only traded btc in person, I'd generally look for deals at IT/hacker conventions, but I lived in a much larger city then. Still, that is something for you guys to consider, and it's probably the safest method there is for a beginner.

I've been using Coinbase for a looong time. Never had any issues - which i guess is the best recommendation I can give to a service like this

I usualy make a bank transfer to Kraken so i have funds there and then buy BTC when rates are low, which seems not to happen a lot these days:-)
