How to buy Bitcoin to purchase I/OCoin (IOC) via trading exchanges.
1- Buy Bitcoin. This is the step most people can find the most challenging. But it is really quite simple to buy Bitcoin's. There are many ways to buy bitcoin, here are the best known, depending on your location in the world.
If you are in the UK, then we can highly recommend using
BitBargain
Bitbargain is for customer in the UK, it is very easy to sing up to the site to purchase Bitcoins.
Also, the sellers on the site are professional and have to pass quite a tough test and lots of verification processes to be able to sell bitcoins. So you can rest assured you are dealing with professionals who will make your transaction easy.
Most importantly the transaction is 100% safe and secure. There are many ways you can buy bitcoin from bitbargain, the most used option is Bank transfer, but you also have many other options as seen in the picture below.
Then you simply choose what you would like to buy, in this case Bitcoin (they do offer Litecoin and Namecoin also)
Then enter the number you wish to purchase and click "Find Offers".
The top offers will be the cheapest and each seller has a green bar next to their ID, the fuller the bar the better the rating, but as you will see nearly all sellers have over 90% ratings.
So, if you are not in the UK, but are in Europe, you will be asking how can i buy bitcoins. We would suggest you use.
