Buying bitcoins is a bit like the Wild West. No doubt about it. There are a number of glitches along the way, but there are some simple ways to buy your first bitcoin. We are going to list the best ways to buy your first bitcoin right here, right now.
Method #1
Open a COINBASE.COM account (United States only).

Once you have the account opened, you'll have to go through a verification process and then link your checking or savings account to Coinbase. This is done using the routing number and account number on one of your bank checks. Once you do all of this, you may have to wait up to a week before you can buy your first bitcoin. Once you are ready to fund your Coinbase account, it is as simple as selecting your approved bank account and the amount of bitcoins you wish to purchase. You'll get the bitcoins almost instantly. New accounts may only purchase 10 bitcoins per 24 hours.
