So you've learned the basics about bitcoin, you're excited about the potential and now you want to buy some*. But how?
(*Please, never invest more than you can afford to lose - cryptocurrencies are volatile and the price could go down as well as up.)
Bitcoin can be bought on exchanges, or directly from other people via marketplaces.
You can pay for them in a variety of ways, ranging from hard cash to credit and debit cards to wire transfers, or even with other cryptocurrencies, depending on who you are buying them from and where you live.
