Best place to buy BTC?

Noob transactionist, experienced observationist here. Bitcoins are right around $230-250 a pop now, and that's a lot of money to be throwing around. Where would you guys say is the best place to buy btc? Cash, PayPal? Thanks.

You do know you don't have to buy an entire whole bitcoin at once right?

No one has mentioned Circle yet? Seems quickest and easiest to me.

LibertyX is awesome if you're around. Pretty close to being totally anonymous as you don't have to link a bank account or anything. All you need is a legit phone number so you could buy a burner phone for that if you're so inclined.

Pretty sure we all agree on one of the following exchanges: Coinbase, LBC, Expresscoins, cex.io

If your real identity is linked to one, might want to either tumble BTCs or send to a few intermeidary wallets created over TOR.

LocalBitcoins, cash deposit or cash by mail/postal money order (I use the latter). You don't need to buy a full Bitcoin either, you can buy anything from $10 to $10,000 if you wanted.

Libteryx is the easiest and fastest. Incraments of 100 though

Thanks for all the help. I'm probably just gonna start small, tumble it a few times, and wait a week or so before ordering

I Use LBC personally. either cash by mail or in person depending how quick I need the coins. you'll likely end up paying a minimum of 5% (I pay 7-10%) on top of BTC value on LBC, potentially a lot more depending on which method you use.

been thinking about trying out LibertyX sometime. not really any locations close to me though, so unless I bought a few grand in BTC it would be a lot of work to make the trek. and I would rather not bus around the area I live with that much on me at a time. so LBC it is for now.

Considered a Bitcoin ATM, perfect for anonymity :D

Ditto on the atm! It isn't for everyone, but if you have one nearby I'd at the very least look into it. I lose about 10-15 bucks for every bitcoin, but for the convenience of cash and being instantaneous I'm willing to take that blow.
