How to Buy Bitcoin

or any other cryptocurrency

The most used way to obtain some bitcoins is to simply buy them, there are many sites that allow you to buy and sell bitcoins, from currency exchange, with or without bank account, using the most current systems of money transfer like SEPA transfer, Credit Card, PayPal.

But please, be careful with your money. When sending money to an exchange or seller you are trusting that the operator will not abscond with your funds and that the operator maintains secure systems that protect you against theft.

It is recommended that you obtain the real-world identity of the operator and ensure that sufficient recourse is available.

Because Bitcoin services are not highly regulated a service can continue operating even when it is widely believed that it is insecure or dishonest and webpages recommending them.

Exchanging or storing significant amounts of funds with third-parties is not recommended.

Market exchanges are those in which buy orders are matched with sell orders, so the price offered depends on the market. If a service quotes a price then it is not operating a market but instead is a broker that buys and/or sells coins.
