Getting Started with Bitcoin

Getting Started

Bitcoin lets you exchange money in a different way than with ordinary banks. As such, you should take time to inform yourself before using Bitcoin for any serious transactions. Bitcoin should be treated with the same care as your regular wallet, or even more in some cases! Read more
We recommend to use a mobile Bitcoin wallet like Mycelium for smaller day-to-day payments and to print a Bitcoin paper wallet for securely storing your Bitcoin savings. Read more
Be wary of any service designed to store your money on-line. Many exchanges and on-line web-wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally do not provide enough security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Bitcoin wallets. Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended. Read more
