I'm in India and I can't even buy it easily. Paypal hates it, as does India's Reserve Bank.

Too much effort for too little reward. Right now, the only thing I'd actually want to buy with BTC is illegal stuff off the darknet. There is virtually nothing else I need that bad that normal cash can't do.

I can't believe this doesn't immediately make you think that maybe, just maybe there is something good about Bitcoin. Are you 0K with the central bank stealing wealth from you and your family through the debasing of your currency? Are you 0K with working your ass off so that bankers and other powerful people can live a life of wealth and pleasure? How can you take advise from such people?

"Bitcoin is bad, don't use it! It's a drug currency... very shady... also, terrorism!"

That is basically what every central bank said to the people in their country.

I'm from Bangalore, I have used localbitcoins quite a few times actually, all the trades went smoothly. The only issue I have with LBTC is you have pay a small premium compared to other exchanges for added convenience.

unocoin seems to make it quite easy to buy /sell in India.
