BUYING BITCOIN AND OTHER BTC

Bitcoin is easy, Bitcoin is discreet. Bitcoin is free from centralized banks overseeing and controlling every transaction. The power is truly in the customer and merchant’s hands, hence making things like the purchasing of generic pharmaceuticals online completely without risk for all parties involved.

How to use a credit card (VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diner’s Club) and bank wire transfers to easily purchase Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency known as BTC):

First of all, some things you’ll need:

  • A wallet (like www.blockchain.com). This is where you store your BTC. (Many exchanges also have wallets you can use, making it easier since that’s where you also exchange to get Bitcoin)
  • An ID and utility bill to provide the coin exchange (for verification purposes)
  • Join a coin exchange (a place where you can buy Bitcoin for your wallet)

Finally, some trusted Bitcoin exchanges you can join to buy Bitcoin using your credit card:
