How to buy Bitcoin when you’re a total novice


Interest in cryptocurrencies is growing, but people don't always know how to go about buying them. — AFP Relaxnews

Bitcoin has been breaking all kinds of records in 2021, so it’s no surprise that more and more people are taking interest in the cryptocurrency. Today, there’s no need to be a computer geek or a trader to buy Bitcoin, which is now accessible to everyone... so long as you follow a few basic rules.

Public interest in cryptocurrencies may be growing, but people don't always know how to go about actually buying them. The most simple means of getting started is to sign up to a cryptocurrency exchange platform. These online marketplaces are, for the most part, relatively easy to use. Some of the best-known are Coinbase and Coinhouse, which can be accessed via a web browser or through dedicated mobile applications.
