Hope this help the people you have been looking for another way to buy Bitcoin.
Another method of buying Bitcoin is at your local “Mom & Pop” cellphone store.
Go to the Play Store and type in “Libertyx” aka “Buy Bitcoin Instantly” app. Once you download & install the app, you can search your area for the closest Bitcoin distributor near you.
A quick rundown of this operation.
Cash Only
Each store has their own rates and fees plus the 1.5% Libertyx flat fee, and this adds up to be more expensive than coinbase.
You can buy up to $1,000/ per day (identity verified), depending on the store in your area.
You can buy up to $200/ per day (phone - text verification)
Everyone will experience this process differently, since this service is based on how knowledgeable the employees are about the service. A tip I have seen online is to call ahead and make sure the store knows about the Libertyx PIN/ Gift Cards.
My cousin loves this method and has been doing this to make his lump sum purchases. Personally, I don't mind the daily/weekly limit at coinbase. It forces me to be active on poloniex, since I'm looking for more ALT coin to invest in.
