Bitcoin’s Stumbling Block for Beginners

Many of us have had this feeling: we hear about Bitcoin, spend some time studying it, and decide we’re ready to pick up a torch and storm the gates as part of the cryptocurrency revolution.

Credit card ready, we head to online exchanges, and… we enter a world of account signup and ID verification procedures, bank wire transfers, and delays. Even if you find an exchange that takes cards, you’ll need that account first. All this before we can get our hands on any bitcoin.

This is pretty deflating, and a lot of people have walked away at this stage – especially if they don’t know anyone they can ask about getting their first bitcoin.

We don’t want to lose these people – we’ve seen the amazement on people’s faces when they make their first Bitcoin transaction.

We’ve got to make it easier for them to get to that stage. Thanks to Bitcoin.com and Simplex, now it is. We have what you always wanted: a walk-up shopfront for buying bitcoin, open to everyone.

Bitcoin.com also features Bitcoin exchanges serving most regions of the world, and we’re always looking for more.

Simplex: E-Commerce for Bitcoin

Simplex‘s main expertise is in reducing credit card fraud – a key issue that prevents most bitcoin trading platforms from accepting payments that way. Even if a customer initiates a chargeback for some reason, Simplex’s exchange partners still receive their money.

The company has received funding from bitcoin mining companies Bitmain and Cumberland Mining, and works with other partners in the industry such as Genesis Mining, Bittylicious and Bits of Gold.
