The simpliest ways to buy crypto currency can be described with a few words. Following the history of the bitcoins, we created instructions for those who wish to buy Bitcoins with their credit card (Visa or Mastercard), but do not know how to do it.

Before purchase

Before you buy bitcoins, you need to make a wallet were you we will keep your crypto currency. Perhaps the most reliable way is to download and install a complex official client ( requires constant synchronization with the server), but many people use more simple and understandable online services – with their help you can spend money using phones, tablets and any other devices.

However, if the service is hacked, then money from users’ wallets will fall into the hands of intruders and back they will not return. We will not recommend any one service, so we list the most popular: Blockchain, Coinbase,  Strongcoin and others.

Also, you can always create and print public and private keys and store them in your safe or bank safe. You can use the alternative client Multibit (there are versions for Windows, Linux and Mac) – it does not require full synchronization.

After the money appears on our balance at the stock exchange (note that not always payments come instantly), you need to participate in the bidding. To do this, set the price for bitcoin, focusing on the current rate. If your price proves to be acceptable, after some time on your internal account there will be an amount in bitcoins minus 0.2% of the transaction – this is the commission of the exchange.3. If we do not want to play on the stock exchange, then it’s time to withdraw funds to our wallet, commission for withdrawal will be 0.

First you will have to transfer the necessary amount of money or cash to seller, and in return you will receive the equivalent in bitcoins.
