It uses peer-to-peer technology, meaning no one has authority over the money supply and everyone with access to the internet can establish their own bitcoin account without any need for an intermediary like a bank or government.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to buy bitcoin?<\/h2>\n<p>You can buy bitcoin on a few different exchanges such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/join\/hickma_dg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coinbase<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/accounts.binance.com\/en\/register?ref=SQU59UI8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Binance<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.com\/exch\/yrbqhhfwrv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crypto.com<\/a>. Coinbase is the best option for beginners because of its ease-of-use to buy bitcoin with credit card or bank account so you can get started right away!<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase also has a mobile app available on Android and iPhone that provide quick access to your wallet as well as easy ways to purchase bitcoin.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Buy Bitcoin on Coinbase<\/h2>\n<p>First, visit coinbase.com and then select the &#8220;sign up&#8221; link (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/join\/hickma_dg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Use our link for a BTC bonus<\/a>) at the top of the page to register or log in with your email address and password.<\/p>\n<p>After you have logged-in correctly, just click on &#8220;buy\/sell&#8221; button under Dashboard to purchase bitcoin! You can also buy via Bank Transfer by clicking Buy (or Sell) and then selecting the option to &#8220;Bank Account.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you are using a credit card, Coinbase is not able to charge your card directly because bitcoin prices fluctuate dramatically by minute. This means that instead of charging your card now when $20 worth of bitcoin costs a certain amount, they will buy at whatever price Bitcoin trades for at the time of the purchase being made.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; el_class=&#8221;custom-page-review&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][nectar_btn size=&#8221;large&#8221; open_new_tab=&#8221;true&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Join Coinbase&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/join\/hickma_dg&#8221;][nectar_btn size=&#8221;large&#8221; open_new_tab=&#8221;true&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Join Binance&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/accounts.binance.com\/en\/register?ref=SQU59UI8&#8243;][vc_widget_sidebar enable_sticky=&#8221;true&#8221; sidebar_id=&#8221;page-sidebar&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#18191c&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;10%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;10%&#8221; text_color=&#8221;light&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; class=&#8221;review-header-row&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6991","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-coins"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/couplesguideto.com\/buy-crypto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
