Bitcoin is a consensus network that enables a new payment system and completely digital money. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network that is powered by its users with no central authority or middlemen. From a user perspective, Bitcoin is pretty much like cash for the Internet. In order to learn more about it you can read this article here or watch the video below.

If you have a bank account in the USA and want to buy Bitcoins with it, Coinbase is the site to use. This guide will help you buy coins in the USA using Coinbase.com. Once you’ve bought Bitcoin, you can spend it on hundreds of online vendors including ghbshoponline.com

Coinbase is the easiest site to use in order to buy Bitcoin with your bank account.

Navigate to www.coinbase.com.

 

From here you can immediately start creating an account with your name and email. Once you’ve verified your email, you will be able to log in.

Your user name appears in the top right corner, click it and go to account settings to verify your phone number.

 

You need to start by verifying your phone number. You can do this with standard SMS authentication to your phone, or via Authy, a great application which generates a code every 20 seconds. Click the link below your name and email information:

 

Even though Coinbase is for US customers only, you can choose a phone from any country in the world, convenient if you live abroad or travel a lot.

Once that is done, you need to provide some information to be able to use Coinbase, primarily your bank account information.

Click on the Buy tab on the left hand side of the page, you’ll see this:

 

Click the Payment Methods button to add a bank account.

 

Here you can see that I’ve already added my account. It took less than 3 minutes. Click link a new account to begin:

 

Fill out the information.

Coinbase will then ask you how you want to verify the account. One way, which is instantaneous, is to give them your bank account log in information. They will test it to see if it works. If you don’t feel particularly comfortable doing this, remember you can always change your password right after (or right before if you really love your password). I chose this option to save time, and then changed my password after. This is only a one-time check.

You can also do the traditional deposit verification method. This takes longer.

Once you are finished, go back to the page and buy BTC. Type in the amount of BTC you want to buy.
