Basic Cryptocurrency Starter Guide

WHAT IS CRYPTOCURRENCY?

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds, operating independently of a central bank.

“decentralized cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin now provide an outlet for personal wealth that is beyond restriction and confiscation”

Most people trying to get into the cryptocurrency can’t seem to find a proper starter guide. This article will point you to an easy method of purchasing your first bitcoin, ethereum, or litecoin (cryptocurrencies). Yes there are more cryptocurrencies available other than the famous bitcoin. You can purchase an entire coin (cryptocurrency), or you can purchase a fraction of that coin.

Visit Coinbase to get started: https://www.coinbase.com/join/5942924607e57a009c07801d

(coinbase is one of a handful of exchanges. I choose coinbase based on ease of use and lower fees compared to other exchanges)

Using the link above once you buy or sell $100 of digital currency or more, you will get $10 of FREE bitcoin.

1. Sign up for an account (using your real name)

2. Verify your email address and open link sent by coinbase

3. Accept terms agreement

4. Now click on settings scroll to the bottom

5. Enter your correct personal information and confirm(secure)

You can select another country if you’re not in the USA

1. Now in settings click on the “Limits” tab

2. Follow the instructions and complete, this will give you increased limits on purchases through coinbase

3. In settings click on “Payment Methods” tab

4. Enter your bank information (Credit/Debit cards, Bank draft or all three methods)

With bank draft the purchase fees are less but it does take up to 5 days for funds to be deposited. Using a credit/debit card, purchases can be made instantly with higher fees. This is the method I personally use.

1. Now to purchase click the tab “Buy/Sell”

From there its pretty straight forward on how to make your purchases
Make sure you select the correct cryptocurrency and payment method
Once purchase is made your cryptocurrency will be available immediately (unless you used bank transfer 5 day wait) in your online wallet.

I hope this helped. This is a beginners guide. I suggest reading everything you can about cryptocurrency and enjoy the rocket to the moon.
