What is the best method to purchase Btc?

I've been out of the scene for a while and am wanting to make a purchase for some new years fun. I've already found the market and everything... But, I'm not sure how I should get the bitcoins.. I've been looking up different methods and I see that some are no longer available and some are not good methods to use for this type of purchase. Any help or information is greatly appreciated!

Just sell drugs online. Most people buy them with bitcoins.

There are stores and even some "ATM"s around here that sell them for cash. I'm not sure how the rate is, but that's probably the first place I'd look if I wanted some.

Lol why do you think I need bitcoin?
The closest local Btc atm is about 3 hours from me. I did find a site called local Btc that may work.. But I don't know much about it.

Coinbase and other major merchants have the cheapest conversion rate. You can buy like 100 dollars worth of BTC for about 12-15 cents on the dollar. If you go to a marketplace and buy from a private trader then you can pay anywhere from 50-85 Cents on the dollar.

That's not bad. Yeah I saw local Btc was charging a little more. I just need to get the Btc ASAP so I can get my order in time to get it for new years.. Plus I don't want to get ripped off lol

If you are rural that is probably the case, but here they sometimes sell them in ghetto electronics stores.

Personally I would steer clear of coinbase. IRS already gave them a supoena for the identities of US coinbase customers who transferred convertible virtual currency from 2013 to 2015. If I had to take a guess localbtc is probably next.

Damn that sucks. It's more than likely only going to be a one time thing. Not often at least. I'm not even sure where to start to find them locally. The atms were all I saw. I'm not really in a rural area but it's not a huge area. I guess local Btc is probably my going to be my Best bet.

Looking to buy them myself and I have an escrow agent from bitcointalk.org. Can't use the exchange websites at the moment...

Use an exchange, I like Kraken because I can buy without an ID or PoR.

Tiamo, would you buy any on my behalf? If so, how could I get the money to you? What would you be comfortable with?

Sounds sketchy. How do they make money if it's totally free?

local bitcoin, arguably the safest and most anonymous method for obtaining them

That's garbage. That site was great.
Localbitcoin.com works but the fees blow.

Back when I used to buy them I would use this method and just do a cash deposit, you usually pay more per bitcoin but you don't need ID, some people ask you to provide it but you can just use someone else.

Coinbase is the easiest way.
They do ask for a lot of info though, like photocopy of your ID and shit.
But I don't do anything too shady with BTC so I don't mind using Coinbase once in a while.
If I needed to funnel money though BTC, I would spread it across localbitcoins because you can do it anonymously through private sellers. Regardless of the higher prices, on localbitcoins, you are paying for privacy and identity protection.
