How to Buy Crypto?

For using the cryptocurrency in exchange of goods, a person needs to buy crypto.
So let's take a look at how to buy cryptos.
- First of all you need to find a platform for buying or selling crypto.
- These platforms are just some crypto exchange apps, which are easily available on google and apple play stores. For example, WazirX, Unocoin, CoinSwitch Kuber etc. These apps allow the users to exchange cryptos with other cryptos or flat currencies. Such apps provide security to your cryptocurrency as well.
Once you have signed up to the crypto exchange app, you need to fund your account.
- To begin trading, you need to fund your account easily using flat currencies through credit or debit cards. But this step is different for all the apps.
- Some apps do not support credit cards, as that may be risky. There are some credit card companies too which do not allow crypto transactions.
- In such cases, there are different methods for that. You can deposit money into your crypto account after you link it with your bank account or by authorising a wire transfer. But this may take a few days for a transaction.
- Next, you need to place an order for the crypto.
- Once you have an amount in your account, you can place your order. You can choose from hundreds of cryptocurrencies available. You need to be cautious while choosing the right coin among them. There are some well known cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, ethereum, tether etc.
- Once you have decided your choice of cryptocurrency, enter its symbol and mention how many coins you want to buy. As these coins are quite expensive, you are even allowed to buy only a fractional share of it.
- Next, You have to store your crypto.
As Crypto is a virtual currency, it can be at risk of hacking or theft or you can even lose your investment if you forget your code. So you must keep your currency in secure storage.
When you buy a crypto, it usually gets saved in a crypto wallet, but for security you can transfer them to separate online or offline wallets.
Following the above steps, you can buy a cryptocurrency and later use them as an asset. In this way you own them.

HAVE YOU BEEN SCAMMED OF YOUR COINS AND WANTS TO GET IT RECOVERED BACK???
ReplyDeleteI invested a total of$95,000.00USD worth of Bitcoin with an online company who does trading and was guaranteed a payout of 25% a week. They ended up shutting down their company website but their website was still running. So I could still see my dashboard at that time and instead of paying weekly they ended up compounding my money. It ended up compounding to$179, 000USD so I requested for a withdrawal which was declined before they shutdown their website, I complained to my colleague at work who directed me about this recovery expert, Mr. Morris Ray, that helped him, I contacted him immediately, what surprised me most, was that I recovered my money that same week. You can contact him on his email at MorrisGray830 at Gmail dot com and on WhatsApp: + 1 (607) 698-0239 and he will assist you on the steps to recover your invested funds.
Just trying to help those who where scammed just the way I was too.
