user51616: I'd like to buy bitcoins with a credit card or should I use my debit card?

user24974: For the buyer, yes.  For the seller, no.
Purchasing bitcoin with a card (either debit or credit) is no different than purchasing anything else online with a card.  It's important that the merchant is reputable, and stores your information securely.  If you are comfortable that this is the case, then you should be fine.
However, sellers have an additional risk when it comes to bitcoin.  Credit and debit card transactions can be reversed, whereas bitcoin transactions cannot be.  This means that if a "charge back" is issued after the bitcoin has been transferred to you, then you will get your money back and get to keep the bitcoin.  This is the same as if a company ships a product and then the transaction is reversed.  With physical goods this is much easier to track down, but with bitcoin it's harder.  Physical goods must be delivered to a physical location, thus tying a fraudster to an identity.  Bitcoin provides a level of anonymity that the authorities can't easily track.
Companies selling bitcoin that accept cards will generally wait until your transaction can no longer be reversed before sending you the coins.  If a company doesn't do this, it might be a good indication that they are not reputable, and you should investigate them further.

user91060: Buying any crypto from your credit card is same as buying it through any other payment method. both are equally secure. 
But always buy it from authentic source only, there are many scamming sites running in the crypto world.
