RE: How to buy cryptocurrency in Australia?
Other sites (in AUD) that I know of include :
https://btcmarkets.net/
https://www.coinspot.com.au/
https://www.coinjar.com/
BTC markets is the best one in terms of low commissions.
I can personally attest that coinjar.com are excellent. I've been using them for several years without issue.
Edit: I was talking to a friend about this and he claims they're heavy handed with the fees when you want to cash out back to Aussie dollars, so keep that in mind.
I have a coinjar account that I'm locked out of on account of 2FA being set up to my old Aus phone number that I no longer have. They want a million pieces of info to unlock it, which seems like a lot of effort since I have nothing in it and don't need it anymore. But yes, they were the first one I came across when I got into bitcoin and I liked what they offered.
Coinspot is probably the easiest for starters. From what I have heard BTC markets has had some issues in the past regarding hacks and has closed accounts with sudden notice.
Interesting. I've never had problems with btcmarkets personally. I've found them to be really good.
I have not heard of them being hacked. When did that happen?
