Post by: trav1324 on December 27, 2012, 09:50 pm

I know you people are probably sick of hearing it but I am having a hard time understanding how to add bitcoins to my account. I have a "wallet" I have the sites I just need to know how I take my cash and put it into my account. I know how to get my account number I just need to know how to take my cash and put it into my bitcoin account? Do I need to go to a bank?

How to buy bitcoins depends on what country you live in.

In the US, cash deposit at a bank to BitInstant, which transfers it to your bitcoin address, is the most popular way.
