A few quick notes about this website:
* There are NO Referral links on this page. Feel free to share it with others. ** The use of this website and all information contained therein is at your OWN RISK. Please read the disclaimer at the bottom. *** Please be careful to check any FEES associated with buying Bitcoin. **** It is suggested to make small test spends with BOTH wallets and Funding methods to be sure they work well for you. ***** With Wallets: Use Two-Factor Authentication where possible (or pin numbers), write down all mnemonic phrases and get private keys/back up phrase (a MUST!...write down in a safe place) for supreme security. New to Bitcoin?... First get the facts on what it is and how it works: https://bitcoin.org/en/ *Quick Summary (for dummies): https://mrktrs.co/bitcoin-dummies-guide-beginners/ Get a Bitcoin Wallet * Most online, mobile & desktop wallets are FREE. ** Having MORE than 1 wallet is a GOOD idea ... it is NOT suggested to keep ALL your Bitcoin in just 1 wallet ... diversify between many. *** Make sure to write down your Private Keys in a SAFE PLACE (not on your computer or phone) **** It is suggested to get a Hard Wallet ... this can be one of the SAFEST ways to keep/store your Bitcoin as it is offline. *****Online wallets are the LEAST safe! It's best to have a downloaded wallet that you control... Mobile or Desktop. Cold storage devices/cards are best. The BEST overall Bitcoin Online Wallet: Blockchain Other reputable online wallets are: Xapo , Bittrex , Spectrocoin , BTC.com , Bitcoin-Wallet & Strongcoin The BEST overall Bitcoin/Altcoin Desktop (downloadable) Wallet: Exodus or Atomic The BEST overall Bitcoin Mobile App Wallet: Mycelium (Android) or Edge (Android & iPhone / Top Security) or Enjin (Android & iPhone) or (NEW)... Zengo Other Mobile & Desktop Wallets: Trust Wallet - Recommended by Binance (Secure & Anonymous) Coinomi - Multicurrency Android/iPhone Wallet with Shapeshift & Changelly built in Samourai - For Android (focused on privacy) Abra (Wallet & Funding method) Exodus (Top choice for Desktop PC Wallet & 1 button Altcoins exchanger - personal fav.) (better for storage than day to day use due to higher fees) Armory (Excellent desktop PC wallet) Ciphrex (Desktop Bitcoin & Litecoin Wallet) Copay (Bitcoin only Mobile & Desktop Wallet) Electrum (Excellent desktop PC wallet... very simplistic...only for bitcoin) Jaxx (***NOT RECOMMENDED!) Airbitz Coinsbank Multibit Mycelium (Top Bitcoin wallet for Android mobile devices; NOT as good for iPhone users) Breadwallet (Top choice for Apple users) Luno (Wallet and way to buy) Zengo (New but high reviews; Mobile) Hard Wallets (Physical Wallets / Cold Storage): Bitfi Ledger Trezor Keepkey Paper Wallet (Watch youtube videos on how to create one with Bitaddress) Black Card (Metal Card Cold Storage Wallets) Buy Hard Wallets & Bitcoin merchandise: https://store.bitcoin.com/ (USA & Canada) https://bitcoinware.net/ (Canada) BUY Bitcoin To figure out how much you will need in your local fiat currency, plug in the amount here: Coindesk Calculator If you require a specific amount of Bitcoin, it's suggested to always buy a bit more than you need due to potential price fluctuation. USA: Popular online wallet & funding method: CoinBase. ***NOTE that Coinbase is reputable but NOT PRIVATE. It's suggested as a good funding method but NOT for (long-term) use with online programs. Transfer your bitcoin OUT of Coinbase to another wallet like Blockchain and use private methods (eg: Localbitcoins) or a debit card for withdrawals (scroll to bottom for choices). Coinbase can take MANY days to get funded.

QuickBT and MyBTC use the Interac system and Flexepins (available at 6,000 store locations across the country or online at UseMyCard). Bitaccess and BTCsolutions also use Flexepins. There are larger fees associated with Flexepins. BTCsolutions can fulfill larger orders via bank wire or overnight money order/ bank draft. A couple of new Exchangers are BitStreet and BitcoinOutlet.
