Title: Buying BTC in North America: What's the best way?
Post by: howtogrowgoddesses on June 05, 2012, 06:09 pm
Howdy forum!

I'm a total noob so excuse my ignorance. :-[ I'm certain that a thread pertaining to this subject should and does already exist in the forums-- redirect me if you see fit.

Could y'all tell me the best way to buy bitcoins in the USA? I tried using Dwolla to transfer USD to MtGox, Intersango etc but the transactions never succeeded and Dwolla gave me a lot of cryptic, contradictory responses that added up to, "We don't let you do that anymore, so stop trying."

I'm guessing that direct transactions between those who have bitcoins and those who need them are the way to go. Any advice or warnings on how to proceed?

Thanks much!

Using cash is the best and most anonymous way. You can mail it or visit a bank or retail MoneyGram location. Visit the following 2 sites:

bitinstant.com
