This would possibly sound dumb however I can not purchase BTC with out going to a BTC atm or ready days for verification. Does anybody have suggestions on the place to purchase it safely with debit / credit score / financial institution?

I use Moonpay sometimes and send it straight to my cold storage or if you have a Paypal and a Coinbase account, you can use your Paypal to buy off Coinbase and transfer to cold storage from there. All the exchanges are a little risky now from what Im seeing so its really your call. Good luck.
This may be frowned upon but I use Coinbase. I’m buying/trading/moving often so I pay the $30/month for their advanced trading features. That’s the only fee you pay for any txs, besides any gas/network fees.
I buy and move to cold storage immediately – unless I’m loading up the CB debit card.
Strike for small amounts. Swan Bitcoin for large amounts. This is the way. This recommendation will get upvotes.
CashApp
Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, BinanceUS
Not coinbase. Just now they deleted all manually verified bank accounts and are now forcing to use plaid as a trusted third party. Gemini is good.
Cashapp has been good to me
STRIKE
Kraken. Low fees (just don’t use their instant buy feature), great customer support, tremendously secure site architecture. The best they literally encourage self-custody which in my view is a tremendously good statement by an exchange.
There’s a link in the side bar named “How to buy Bitcoin worldwide”. Did you ever click on that?

trusted relatives/friends. If they’re nice, they might not KYC your ass.
Many good options mentioned here. I’d recommend CashApp.
For cash [Agoradesk](https://agoradesk.com/?rc=htg1) would be my recommendation. Way cheaper than bitcoin ATMs and you actually interact with a human. Electronically you’re either stuck wiring money or waiting several days for an ACH to clear. Kraken works fine for that. With debit and credit cards the limits are usually low and the fees are expensive.
Hodlhodl will work. Do you have Zelle?
If you’re in Europe, Relai.
Doesn’t ask you for your data and it’s non custodial.
Kraken, the only safe option right now. Move your BTC from Kraken to self custody right after the purchase.
It’s not a dumb question right now. It’s become a cautious thing over the last month and a lot of people are avoiding exchanges. coinbase, however, is a great place to get started. I’ve moved everything out of binance for now just in case – until it settles it’s lawsuits
OP, this depends on your country.
Canada, I’d recommend Shakepay. You’ll need to do some verification unfortunately, it’s the law
Strike app is the latest and greatest. Theres 2 posts like this everyday btw

Google for chaos, bitcoin machines around your town. Most of them are in bad neighborhoods in gas stations.. they look like a ATM bank machine but they are the color of Bitcoin.
Pocket Bitcoin. Swiss exchange. Non-KYC
Definitely sounds dumb
Localbitcoins
Robosats
I like swan.
Binance via p2p
I haven’t seen them all, but I think Coinbase is very beginner friendly.
If you live in Canada Newton has the cheapest fees
FTX
Cash app
Which country?
For most developed countries, probably Coinbase. Just remember to move your satoshis elsewhere after purchasing.
For countries where the main exchanges don’t operate, use [localbitcoins.com](https://localbitcoins.com), but also remember to withdraw to a non-custodial wallet after the purchase.
If you have aPaypal account, you can actually buy Bitcoin through Paypal. It’s not my favorite option, but it’s an option.
