None of us are big fans of trying 'new things' especially if we are used to doing things a certain way for years. So when sources started taking bitcoins I was not happy, eventually though I grabbed my balls and decided to check it out and do it. It ended up being way easier than I thought.
What is bitcoin?
Bitcoins are a cryptocurrency. Just like how you go to the store and buy things with a credit card or cash linked to the currency in your bank account, bitcoins are their own currency.
How do I get bitcoins?
Well first you need to have $$$ obviously to exchange into bitcoins. Then you go to one of the places that exchange bitcoins for you below:

www.coinbase.com They get a lot of flack from people but i have been using them for years and am happy and their platform and service has improved 100% over the past year after going public. you can wire money into your coinbase account and it gets there within 1 business day, you can also use your debit card for smaller transactions and within minutes it is in there. they aren't the cheapest out there with fees, but they are a public company so they aren't gonna run off with your money. i also recommend using coinbase pro to make crypto trades since the fees are cheaper and you can put in limit orders and get superior price executions. (coinbase pro and coinbase are the same company and its free and instant to move money between accounts)
after the money is in there now you are ready to pull the trigger and buy bitcoins using your funds.
Now you have an account with bitcoins. keep in mind bitcoins don't trade like the US Dollar which is very very stable. Bitcoins prices can swing many % in a day up or down. So that $1000 US dollars will probably be worth around that much over the course of a month and years, bitcoins can go up or down 5-10% in a day even. because of this you will want to put in a little more just to cover any drop in price (you could even increase the value if you are lucky)
How do i buy steroids with bitcoins?
Okay now that you have an account and bitcoins are converted now you can go shopping. Your steroid source will give you a bitcoin address and how much you owe them and you use your platform to send money to them.
drawbacks to using bitcoins
bitcoin is fast and you don't have to leave your computer and deal with morons in person. the only drawback to using bitcoins is the swing in prices you may experience and depending on what platform you use the small fee they charge to trade. however it is much better than dealing with money gram or WU or risking sending cash by mail.
