1.

Set-Up A Wallet

Digital “wallets” are used to store Bitcoin until you are ready to spend them or exchange them for another currency. Wallets are secure to varying degrees. The level of security depends on the type of wallet you use (desktop, mobile, online, paper, hardware) and the service provider. It is advisable to store your bitcoin in an offline “cold storage” wallet.

Select The Right Exchange

If you are looking to buy Bitcoin yourself, then you will need to find an exchange. 

It is important to do research to ensure that you are using a legitimate and secure platform.  The method of purchasing cryptocurrency varies between platforms. Some exchanges require deposits by bank transfer, some use PayPal, some accept credit and debit cards, and some may only accept cryptocurrency for purchases.
