Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to cryptocurrency in general, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to buy and store it.
I’ve heard a lot about Bitcoin, but I’m a bit confused about how to get started. What’s the safest way to purchase Bitcoin?
Are there specific wallets I should be using? Should I keep my Bitcoin in an exchange wallet, or is it better to use something like a hardware wallet?
Welcome to the Bitcoin Forum. If you have heard a lot about Bitcoin, then it is very good and it will be much easier for you to learn about Bitcoin and buy it. However, you can use exchanges to buy your Bitcoin, but which exchange you use depends on you, but to buy from exchanges safely, you can use Binance, Kucoin, Bybit, Gate.io etc. exchanges.
Whether you use a specific wallet to hold your Bitcoin is entirely up to you. You can also use an exchange account or use an exchange wallet, it is also entirely up to you. Also, if you have enough money, I can suggest you buy a hardware wallet and keep your Bitcoin there, which will be the safest for you.
