Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Despite recently celebrating its tenth anniversary, buying Bitcoin can still be a challenge for the average retail investor. With many shady exchanges, services and sellers around, users need to know that they are purchasing their Bitcoin from a trustworthy source. We have to put together this guide to help you avoid these bad actors and ensure you only do business with a trustworthy, reliable service.

This guide is for anyone and everyone looking to get started in the sometimes-confusing world of cryptocurrency buying and trading.

How to buy Bitcoin in 2020 – The complete beginner’s guide

Our detailed walkthrough will help new investors learn how to buy and store the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.

These steps include:

  • Purchasing Bitcoin with fiat currency on major exchanges
  • Purchasing Bitcoin peer-to-peer
  • Bitcoin ATM’s
  • Deciding when to purchase Bitcoin
  • Storing your BTC in a secure hardware wallet

Buying Your First Bitcoin

There are multiple ways to buy Bitcoin, and some are easier and more secure than others. We’re going to explore in detail how you can buy Bitcoin from a trusted exchange, such as Kraken or Coinbase (see our full Coinbase review here) using a debit card or bank transfer; and also, look at the process of buying Bitcoin via a peer-to-peer (p2p) marketplace, such as LocalBitcoins.com.
