If your country is high against the usage of bitcoin, then you need to stay following it. Trying to bypass and use bitcoin is possible, but if something goes wrong it can ruin your living. However if you want to deposit bitcoin on your wallet with credit card, then there is must of KYC. If you can bank transaction, there is more other access of buying bitcoin and using on different services finding the person providing it rather than going on directly.

Additionally, there are lot of ways to buy Bitcoins off the radar and a lot of also option to own a Bitcoin wallet with you are only the one who controls it, using non-custodial wallet will help you.
You can check this thread about Bitcoin wallet and select which will suit to you: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0
About owning or buying Bitcoin is also possible in P2P, buying locally in your area which offer peer-to-peer transaction and store your Bitcoin in your personal wallet, and always don't forget to backup your private keys or wallet seeds offline or online(not advisable).

Don't use "bitcoinofficial[.]org" I never heard of this site before if you want a legit and trusted wallet I suggest you install an electrum wallet for the safety of your Bitcoins.

About buying coins I suggest only buy on Coinbase, not on the blockchain and it's ok to submit documents. Just make sure after you buy, transfer your BTC to Electrum if you want to hold it for a long time or for daily use.

Bitcoin is not like other currencies or payment systems such as PayPal,... You don't need some company, or an account on some website to be able to send/receive bitcoin. You can and should do it all yourself on your own computer. You can choose a bitcoin wallet that is most suitable to your preference here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet but I suggest using Electrum for beginners on their desktop PC.
You should only use websites such as Coinbase to purchase bitcoin not to store and send/receive bitcoin. After purchase you should transfer the coins to your own desktop wallet.

Don't use web wallets, either use mobile wallet or desktop wallets. I use Mycelium wallet on my android device. It is absolutely free and you need to download it from the mycelium.com website. It is also available for iOS devices. After download you need to install it and click on create a wallet. Do create a backup of the wallet.

For desktop I use Electrum Bitcoin wallet. Download it from electru.org and follow the instructions.

For buying and selling you can use P2P exchange like local Bitcoin.com or localcrypto.com

There is no official website for bitcoin. bitcoinofficial[.]org also has a Scam Accusation thread.

You also have many options aside from using coinbase as an exchange for buying bitcoins. If you want to buy bitcoin without having any KYC/AML verification, you can go to these P2P platforms.

As for the wallet, I highly suggest using Electrum. Download it from their official website and then verify it before the installation process in your desktop/PC.

The sticky thread [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?.

There are many bitcoin wallets, good or bad and they are classified to custodial wallets (that you don't control wallet's private key or mnemonic seed) or non-custodial wallets (that you have full control on private key or mnemonic seed). The full control of wallet gives you full control for your fund. You don't have to trust any exchange, anyone to keep your fund safe for you. You do it.

It's https://electrum.org  not electru.org, I'm guessing you made mistake there, I will like to ask if mycelium wallet is a fully open source wallet? I've been hearing about this wallet since 2018 and I haven't try it out for once

It's nice you already have an idea built round KYC and Reviews. That kind of caution is mich needed in this field and would help you in staying off scam schemes. But again, you said your from Morocco and certain cryptocurrency activities are restricted. It might have been good to seek the path for which is legally accepted in your country so, you don't get to experience further restrictions in the future. Anyway,

Here is a thread for you to visit for official sites to download trusted walletts, it might be of interest to note wallets that gives you private key or seed phrase as, they stand as the best wallet available and be sure not to loose your private key or make it publicly known to others or a third party.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5308492.0 Visit thread, go through the comments and make your choice on wallet as best suits your purpose and in line with your country.[/list]

While Mycelium has a github repo, it is not open source in the strict definition of the word "open source". Open source means that it is possible to modify and redistribute the code yourself. Mycelium has its code on github for inspection and people can view the code, but the license doesn't permit you to modify it and redistribute it to anyone. There's even a Github issue that was opened regarding this (as there was some misinformation on the description of Mycelium on bitcoin.org). Here's the link : https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/Bitcoin.org/issues/896

Simply buy bitcoin in person. There is nothing stopping you from finding a seller on this forum or on some other platforms and making an appointment live. I recommend a public place with enough people nearby, for example, a coffee shop or train station.

Does everything about bitcoin is a block or there are still site that you can access? there are lots of wallets that you can download and store bitcoin like exodus, electrum, trezor, or a hardware wallet, then try to access an exchange, which not recommendable to store it there then send it to your chosen wallet , try to check poloniex, binance or coin base if it's not blocked, if not then you get yourself a chance to buy, I'm not recommending you to buy to a person especially if he/she is not in your place or you don't know in person, that's a lot of risks to do, its like throwing money in the water.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

If bitcoin is banned in your country, you should follow the authorities and avoid buying bitcoin because if you have been able to bypass them and deposit your funds in a bitcoin wallet. There is a chance that your funds will get confiscated if the authorities have caught you, so the only thing to do is wait for your government to unbanned bitcoin before you buy them. You might buy bitcoin if you know someone outside your country, which their government does not restrict buying bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

It's 24 hrs OP hadn't come to give us feedback on how the wallet installation process goes, every comments, suggestions above are meaningful and helpful, should we continue to spam the thread with the same response?

i made a wallet in bitcoinofficial.org but i don't trust them yet "i didn't found enough reviews about it",

That's not the official site for Bitcoin wallet, this site is not known and it seems to be a fake one impersonating https://bitcoin.org stay away from it.

I honestly haven't heard that wallet and seems for everyone as well so you better stay away from it and don't use it to keep your stash. There are lots of reputable wallets that don't require KYC like Trust Wallet, Electrum and more so there's nothing to worry about your identity. Personally, I've been using Trust wallet and I haven't encountered any problem with and so for Electrum, you could try them out and see if it will work for you. You gotta be careful though coz it seems your government is not in favor of it.

First, you should educate yourself about bitcoin.

The fact that you chose a completely unknown website as "your wallet" paired with that you now think to use coinbase or blockchain with your ID shows that you are not well informed enough.

Browse this forum and check bitcoin.org.
Answer for yourself what kind of wallet you want or need. And stay away from web wallets or custodial ones. Choose a desktop- or mobile wallet.

Generally, electrum is a good desktop wallet for newcomers. You might want to look into it.
