I am looking for the safest way to buy bit coin online. I have a Walmart money card prepaid Visa. Does anyone know of a way to buy bitcoins with it? If not what is the SAFEST way? Im in the States
Sorry if question has been answered before, ive just found it hard to navigate this forum

If you can link those cards to Paypal you can then use it to buy coins at virwox.com.
You would have to first buy linden dollars (used in the "game" second life) and then use those to buy bitcoins. Don't know what you want to be safe from, but that's the only way I know of.

Just tried this method. It works, but only used it if you are desperate.. they kill you on fees, plus there is $55USD daily max. You also can only buy/sell whole numbers, so you'll end up wasting some money. For $55USD I ended up with 4 BTC when the going rate is 5 BTC.

Many banks will cash out those visas. Then just take the cash and buy a green dot moneypak refill card. Then use that code on bitcoinexchange.cc or bitcoinbux.com. Or exchangebitcoin.com also allows you to deposit cash directly into their bank account for BTC purchases. Lots of options out there but first you have to cash in that visa.
