Should you invest in Bitcoin?

Sure, it is wise to invest in BTC right now than it was months ago. But you have to remember one simple rule. “Buy Low Sell High” , If you want to make profit then buy and forget. Reason people fails to get the most out of their BTC investment that they are scared and if price drops they sell all of their BitCoin.

You will need to have a lot of patience and wait for price rising. It is more likely to happen in February - March 2018.

If you buy Bitcoin just now then you can make it double in the next three months if the current trend stays. Some experts predicted it will be double within Februrary.

Also, remember, only invest the amount you can afford to loose.

Bitcoin is to stay for a long time and if you don’t know about it’s technology then should learn a thing or two about blockchain and how it works.

Now, from where you should buy bitcoin?

I see there is much confusion about Bitcoin buying procedures, so I’ll try to systematize the information for you.

Thanks to the growing number of Bitcoin exchanges and wallet services, Bitcoin buying has become easy even for beginners. Just follow these two easy steps:

First Step - Get a Bitcoin Wallet


Source: 4 Easy ways to BUY Bitcoin 2018 Guide

Now, this should be your very first initiative. If you don’t have a Bitcoin wallet, you cannot hold this cryptocurrency in any way.

Since Bitcoin is a virtual currency, obviously the Bitcoin wallet is a digital concept. It helps you securely store the Bitcoin addresses and private keys.

There are more types of Bitcoin wallets:

Hardware - it’s basically a physical device where you can keep your coins offline.

Online Wallet - this wallet is accessed through a browser. The service providing online wallet solutions operates with cloud solutions, which means it’s less secure but more convenient.
Software - you have to download and install an app to operate with this wallet type.
Paper wallet – this wallet type resembles a card that has the Bitcoin keys printed on it. The advantage is that no hacker can find entry to your keys.
A hardware wallet would be the best solution in terms of security. However, you should spend some money for the device. For example, Nano Ledger S, one of the best hardware wallet products, costs around $60.

If you don’t want to spend money, feel free to register an online wallet service like Coinbase

When you register a wallet, you’ll get a big code made of 30–34 letters and numbers. Well, this is your Bitcoin Address - you should share it as prerequisite whenever you want to buy/request new Bitcoins. It is like the 16 figure code on the credit card.

The code can look like this: 20sSdGbSjGtxMbqOPoEtoXN7eXydaN1JMM

The code can have a QR format which is used especially for Bitcoin ATMs. Check my Bitcoin Address with QR code on Blockchain. info (you can use any other wallet - it’s only an example):


Second Step - Buying Bitcoin

Now that you have a Bitcoin Wallet, it’s time for Bitcoin buying!

Ok - we have the Bitcoin address, so where to buy Bitcoin? It’s easy - there are Bitcoin exchanges and brokers that can convert your fiat money to Bitcoin and other cryptocoins.

Some examples of online Bitcoin exchanges are Coinbase (note that Coinbase is a full-service cryptocurrency broker, providing wallet and exchange solutions; However, I recommend you to move your Bitcoin after buying with them - there were some complaints about it), Kraken, Bitcoin Exchange, Trading BTC USD, BTC EUR - CEX.IO, Bitstamp, CoinMama, etc. There are many of them - do your homework to review these and choose the suitable one.

Check this comparison table


No matter what service you choose, the process is always easy:

First, you should register an account and deposit fiat money (USD, euro, etc.). Most of the exchanges operate with wire transfers, but many of them accept cred/debit card as well.
Find the “Buy Bitcoin” section and just follow the steps. At some point, you’ll share the Bitcoin address of your wallet.

That’s it! Now you know one of the methods to buy Bitcoin. I said one of the methods because you can also consider Peer-to-Peer (P2P) exchanges or Bitcoin ATMs.

P2P Exchanges

P2P marketplaces are platforms that connect Bitcoin buyers with sellers, which means you can buy from individuals like you.

One of the most popular platforms of this kind is Localbitcoins

Sellers post ads, and you can choose one of them at your will. Make sure you don’t get scammed despite the escrow solutions provided!


Bitcoin ATMs

Bitcoin ATMs are very popular in the US, Canada, some European countries, Australia, and more regions worldwide.

You can check Coin ATM Radar to locate these machines on the map COINATMRADAR (Google it)


A Bitcoin ATM can look like this:


With Bitcoin ATMs, you can easily buy Bitcoin by inserting fiat money into the machine. Just move your smartphone with the QR code on the ATM scanner, insert your money, and buy the desired amount of Bitcoin.

PS: Most of the online exchanges require ID verification procedures - so be ready for that!

Hope this helps!
