How to Buy Bitcoin: A Step by Step Guide to buy it Fast, Easy & Safe

Getting a Bitcoin Wallet

As you know cryptocurrencies are nothing but private keys that are generated and the information is needed to be stored in some safe place.

So Bitcoin wallets are the place where you can store private keys and access your public bitcoin addresses whenever you want to spend your funds.

Bitcoin wallets come in various forms.

1. Desktop Wallets

You can install original bitcoin client Bitcoin Core to start running a wallet. It will allow you to create bitcoin address for sending and receiving of the cryptocurrency, and also storing the private key.

You can choose other desktop wallets like MultiBit, HIVE, Armory, DarkWallet etc depending upon your operating system, security, and anonymity.

2. Mobile Wallets

If you are always on move, then you can download mobile wallets as an app onto your mobile phone. You can take advantage of NFC (Near Field Communication) feature to tap the phone against a reader and pay bitcoins without entering any information.

However mobile wallets are not full bitcoin clients because of the download size of entire bitcoin blockchain. Some Android-based mobile wallets are Bitcoin Wallet, Xapo, Mycelium etc.

3. Online Wallets

These wallets are web-based and store your private keys online and can be linked with your desktop or mobile wallet. Actually, as a new bitcoin buyer, you must choose online wallets like CoinBase, Circle, Blockchain etc.

You can access them from anywhere.

4. Hardware Wallets

Hardware wallets are the dedicated device that stores your private keys and are manufactured in limited numbers.

5. Ledger USB Wallets

They use smartcard security and very popular among high volume bitcoin buyers. Some of them are Trezor, KeepKey, Ledger Nano etc.

6. Paper Wallets

The last wallet is paper wallets to store bitcoin address by creating an image containing two QR codes, one for public address and another for the private key.

As a new buyer, I recommend you to choose online wallets especially CoinBase as your bitcoin wallet.

A Comparison of 5 Best Bitcoin Exchanges

You can choose from 5 different bitcoin exchanges to buy your Bitcoins from. You have to choose an exchange depending upon factors that we mentioned in the paragraph called choosing a Bitcoin exchange.

Step 7: I recommend to use credit/debit card. Fill the required information and you are done.

As a new buyer, you can buy bitcoin worth up to $1000 per day.

Step 8: Choose the number of bitcoins you want to buy. It is not necessary to buy 1 full bitcoin as you can buy in decimals like 0.1 bitcoin or 0.2, 0.3 etc.

Step 9: As a beginner try buying 0.1 Bitcoin for around $100+. Give your credit card details and mobile wallet information for storing the bitcoin. Click the “buy bitcoin Instantly” button.

Step 10: You are done! The bitcoin will be delivered to your mobile wallet.

With Coinbase the regular users can buy bitcoins up to $1000 and fully verified users can buy $50,000 per day. With the passage of time, you can increase the daily buying limit from $121 to $1000 to $50,000.

In coming articles, we will talk more about buying strategies for bitcoins.

4 Other Different Ways for Buying Bitcoins

Here are some other ways of buying Bitcoins other than Credit/Debit card or bank transfer.

1. PayPal: On the contrary buying bitcoin through PayPal could be bit risky and only a few exchanges offer this option.

2. Cash: If you use LocalBitcoins then buyers and sellers located nearby can meet and exchange Bitcoins using cash or wire transfer.

3. Gift Card: Only applicable for users in the US who can buy bitcoin using Visa, MasterCard or Discover Gift cards.

4. Money Order and Personal Checks: You can buy bitcoins using the money order and personal checks also.

New bitcoins buyers do not have to go for above-mentioned ways because credit card or bank transfer are the best ways.

Caveats in buying bitcoin

I also need to give you another side of the picture also. Bitcoin can be risky at times because of following reasons.

Risk of Loss: You lose your bitcoin if it is not stored properly. Hackers can hack your private key anytime.

High Volatility: Their value is very volatile and can depreciate and appreciate with no bounds.

Not Liked by Establishment: Moreover, governments around the world are wary of bitcoin because of its anonymity. You really do not know who is buying and selling illegal commodities like drugs or weapons.

How to buy Bitcoins in 2018

Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency, and with the serious money it is attracting provoking this year’s record highs, more folks are looking to own the virtual currency. There are multiple methods by which you can acquire Bitcoins, including setting up a PC to mine it yourself, paying for a professional mining contract, or trading another cryptocurrency for it. Or you can simply buy Bitcoins for cold, hard cash.

In the latter case, the issue then becomes how best to change legal tender into Bitcoins. As Bitcoin is an all-digital virtual currency, the novice buyer might well be a little confused concerning where to start. As Bitcoin is not a physical currency, but a virtual one, it needs to be held in a digital wallet.

A popular digital wallet is Blockchain, and an account can be created there in which you can keep your digital money; it offers a web interface as well as smartphone apps. While some Bitcoin exchanges also provide a digital wallet feature, we do not recommend this route due to security concerns – exchanges focus more on currency trading, and less on keeping the user’s Bitcoins safe. Online digital wallets come at no cost to the user.

Bitcoining it in

In order to purchase a Bitcoin (or more), the user needs to go to a Bitcoin exchange that deals in their own fiat tender (real currency). A popular one is Coinbase which has an excellent track record as it has exchanged over $20 billion (£15 billion) worth of cash into Bitcoins, with support in 32 countries.

In order to perform a purchase on the Coinbase exchange, first you must set up an account. This requires some basic information to be supplied: a name, email, password and location (to make sure your particular location is supported). You also need to be 18 years of age or older.

Once the account is created, the next step is to link it with a bank account. When selling Bitcoin on Coinbase, the proceeds can either go to this bank account, or to a PayPal account. Purchases can be made from the linked bank account, or with Mastercard or Visa credit cards.

Users then decide how much Bitcoin they would like to purchase. Initially, Coinbase imposes a limit of purchasing $1,000 (£750) worth of Bitcoin per day; when you’re fully verified this limit increases to $50,000 (£37,000) daily.

The value of Bitcoin is shown in US dollars. Once a purchase has been agreed, the user will transfer the Bitcoin to their digital wallet to keep the funds secure in what is called a ‘cold storage’ wallet. This is an important step as if it’s not taken, and the exchange goes out of business or has financial difficulty, the user will lose their funds.

While Coinbase is a popular place to purchase Bitcoin, it’s hardly the only game in town. 

How the Hack Do I Use GitHub?

Dear Lifehacker,
I've learned to code and want to start using GitHub to manage my projects. Despite the introductory lesson they provide, I still don't understand how it works at all. Can you help me?

Sincerely,
Git Help

Dear GH,
GitHub's a great tool but it's definitely a little confusing the first time around (and, possibly, a few times after that). That's likely why GitHub created software (for OS X and Windows) to make the process a bit easier. Nevertheless, it's good to learn the old-fashioned way otherwise your options in the simplified software won't make sense. Let's start by walking through the basics.

---

Step One: Sign Up for GitHub

Here comes the easy part: make yourself a GitHub account signing up on the front page. After completing the form, GitHub will sign you in and take you to your empty news feed. In the middle of the page, you'll see the boot camp (pictured to the right). We're going to go through it to set up your account and, later, create your first repository. Click on "Set Up Git" to get started.

Step Two: Install Git

GitHub exists because of a version control application called.git The site is based on how git works, and git is pretty old. It runs via the command line and has no fancy graphical user interface. Since it's made to manage code you wrote, this shouldn't sound too scary. (Of course, as previously mentioned, GitHub did make wonderful software to allow you to use their service without the command line but that won't help you too much unless you know the basics.)

 

Git works by reading a local code repository (just a folder containing code for your project) on your computer and the mirroring that code elsewhere (in this case, GitHub's servers). Initially, we'll commit (i.e. send) your entire local repository to GitHub, but that's just a one-time affair. As you continue to work on your code, you'll simply commit changes. GitHub will then keep track of the changes you made, creating different versions of files so you can revert back to old ones if you want (or just keep track of those changes for other reasons). This is primarily why you'd want to use a version control system like git on your own, but additional benefits surface when using git to manage code with other people working on your project. When multiple developers commit code with git, GitHub becomes a central repository where all the code that everyone's working on can stay in sync. You'll commit your changes, and other developers will pull them (i.e. sync them to their local repository). You'll do the same with their code.

Git makes this all happen, so you need to download the latest version and install it. On OS X, you'll just install the command line app. On Windows, you'll get a few more items. We'll discuss how they work in the next step.

Step Three: Set Up Git

To set up git, you need to make your way into the command line. On OS X, that means launching the Terminal app (Hard Drive -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and on Windows, that means launching the Git Bash app you just installed—not the Windows command prompt. When you're ready, tell git your name like this:

git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"

For example, mine would look like this because I'm using a test account for this example:

git config --global user.name "Adam Dachis"

You can put in any name you like, but afterward, you'll need to input your email and that email must be the email you used when signing up for GitHub:

git config --global user.email "your_email@youremail.com"

If for whatever reason, you signed up for GitHub with the wrong email address, you'll need to change it.

Now, to avoid always entering your login credentials and generating SSH keys, you'll want to install the credential helper so your passwords are cached. If you're on Windows, download it and install it. If you're on OS X, you'll need to handle this through the Terminal. To start, use this command to download the credential helper:

curl -s -O \
http://github-media-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/osx/git-credential-osxkeychain

This will download a tiny little file and shouldn't take too long. When finished, enter the following command to make sure the permissions are correct on the file you just download (and fix them if not):

chmod u+x git-credential-osxkeychain

Now it's time to install the credential helper into the same folder where you install git. To do so, enter this command:

sudo mv git-credential-osxkeychain `dirname \`which git\``

You'll be prompted for your administrator password because the above command began with sudo. Sudo is shorthand for "super user do" and is necessary when performing a task that requires root access. The sudo command allows you to become the root user (a user with permission to do pretty much anything) on your operating system for a moment so you can perform this task. You're asked to enter your password to prove you're an administrator on the computer and should be allowed to do this. Once you've entered your password and the credential helper has been moved, finish up the installation with this command:

git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain

Now you're all set and can move on to actually using git and GitHub!

Step Four: Create Your First Repository

Now that you've made it this far, you can actually use GitHub! As the first order of business, we're going to create a repository (or "repo" for short). Head on over to GitHub and click the "New Repository" button on the top right of your account page. (Note: If you're still displaying the GitHub Bootcamp section, it'll show up underneath it.)

When creating a repository you have a few things to decide including its name and whether it'll be publicly accessible or not. Choosing a name should be pretty simple because you likely already have a name for your project. If you're just following along for learning purposes, use "Hello-World." Why "Hello-World" and not "Hello World"? Because spaces and special characters will cause problems. Keep it simple and easy to type on the command line. If you want to include a more complex name, you can add it to the optional description field beneath the name field.

If you're creating an open-source project, you want a public repository. If you want to code by yourself or share only with specific people, a private repository will do. Make the choice that works best for you and your project.

When you're all done, you can click the "Create repository" button but you might want to do one other thing first: check the "Initialize this repository with a README" checkbox. Why? All repositories require a README file. Ideally, that file would contain a little information about your project, but you might not want to deal with that right now. By initializing the repository with a README, you'll get an empty README file that you can just deal with later. For the purposes of this tutorial, we're going to leave the box unchecked because, in the next section, we're going to create a README file from scratch to practice committing (sending) it to GitHub.

Step Five: Make Your First Commit

When you send files to GitHub, you commit them. To practice, we're going to initialize your local repository and create a README file to commit as practice. Before you start, you need to know where your local code repository is on your computer and how to access it via the command line. In this tutorial, we're going to assume there's a directory called "Hello-World" in your computer's home folder. If you need to create one, just run this command (same for Git Bash on Windows and OS X's terminal):

mkdir ~/Hello-World

Now change to that directory using the cd (change directory) command:

cd ~/Hello-World

In case you were wondering, the ~ represents your home directory in Git Bash and Terminal. It's simply shorthand so you don't have to type it all out (which would look more like /Users/yourusername/). Now that your repository is ready, type this:

git init

If you already had a repository ready to go, you'd just need to cd to that directory and then run the commandgit init in there instead. Either way, your local repository is ready to go and you can start committing code. But wait, you don't have anything to commit! Run this command to create a README file:

touch README

Let's take a break for a second and see what just happened. Go into the home folder on your computer and look at the Hello-World folder (or look at whatever folder you're using for a local repository). You'll notice a README file inside, thanks to the command you just ran. What you won't see is a .git folder, but that's because it's invisible. Git hides it in there, but because you ran the commandgit init you know it exists. If you're skeptical, just run the commandls in Git Bash/Terminal to display a list of everything in the current directory (which, if you're following along, is your local repository).

So how does it know we want to commit this README file we just created? It doesn't, and you have to tell it. This command will do the trick:

git add README

If you want to add other files to commit, you'll use the same command but replace README with the name of a different file. Now, run this command to commit it:

git commit -m 'first commit'

While the other commands were pretty straightforward, the commit command has a little more going on so let's break it down. When you type,git that's just telling the command line that you want to use the git program. When you type,commit you're telling it you want to use the commit command. Everything that follows those two thing counts as options. The first, -m, is what's known as a flag. A flag specifies that you want to do something special rather than just run the commit command. In this case, they flag means "message" and what follows it is your commit message (in the example, 'first commit'). The message isn't absolutely necessary (although you'll usually need to provide one), but simply a reference to help you differentiate the various versions of a file (or files) you commit to your repository.

Your first commit should go by in a split second because you haven't actually uploaded anything yet. To get this empty README file to GitHub, you need to push it with a couple of commands. Here's the first:

git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/Hello-World.git

You need to replace "yourusername" with—you guessed it—your GitHub username. For me, it'd look like this:

git remote add origin https://github.com/gittest1040/Hello-World.git

This command tells git where to send your Hello-World repository. Now all you need to do is send it:

git push origin master

Once you run that command, everything (in this case, just your README file) will make it's way over to GitHub. Congratulations on your first commit!

Learning More

Using GitHub requires more than just committing a README file, but these basics should give you a good grasp on how to interact with the git app and the service. Now that you know how GitHub works at its core, you can use the GitHub apps to manage your code instead if you prefer. If you want to learn more about GitHub, there are some great tutorials. For starters, take a look at how to fork a repository and LockerGnome's GitHub guide.

Have fun to manage your code!

Love,
