What is Bitcoin

Like paper money and gold before it, bitcoin is a currency that allows parties to exchange value. Unlike its predecessors, bitcoin is digital and decentralized. For the first time in history, people can exchange value without intermediaries which translates to greater control of funds and lower fees.

Why use it?

You use bitcoin for many of the same reasons you opt to send an email, stream a movie, or download a song. It’s faster, cheaper, more secure and immutable. And its uses extend beyond the peer to peer payments. In many places, bitcoin is less volatile than the local currency so some use it to store value while others use it to consume at hundreds of thousands of vendors across the globe and online.

How to buy Bitcoin

DON'T buy Bitcoin, use a trading platform/website to order the amount you want with the exchange rate you are happy with.

If you directly buy the Bitcoin then you will pay market price for it, even from those trading platforms as they offer instant buy/sell as well, but if you list your own order then you can list your own price instead of paying the price that others decide.

For example you can list your order for $2300/1 Bitcoin even though everyone is asking $2500 for it, you don't need to order a full Bitcoin ofcourse, you can always order fractions like 0.1 or 0.01 Bitcoin.

You just need to observe the fluctuation in price to decide on your price, then list your order and give it some time to get filled, mostly you won't wait much if your price is like $10 - $20 less, but it might take anywhere between 1 hour to couple days if your price is couple hundreds less, and it worth the waiting if you want to save some dollars.

Some of those exchanges/platforms:

EXMO: many payment options like Credit card, bank transfer, Payza, SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney, Payeer and many more.
CEX.IO: Credit card and Bank transfer.

This might not work all the time, but if you are not in hurry then you should go this way, but here are couple more ways to buy Bitcoin:

Almost all Payment processors excpet PayPal allow their users to withdraw their balance to Bitcoin address, just make sure you follow their terms as there might be some restrictions on how you are able to withdraw to Bitcoin depending on your country and which method you have funded your account with, for example, some payment processors don't allow withdrawing to Bitcoin from the fund you have added directly by Credit card.

So, the easiest way to get Bitcoin is to fund your account in those payment processors then withdraw your balance to Bitcoin, just make sure you can withdraw to Bitcoin by funding with the convenient way you choose.

Some of these payment processors are
