UNDERSTANDING THE FUNDAMENTALS

The primary objective behind the creation of cryptocurrencies was to enable anonymous transactions. The process of sending and receiving crypto is similar to using a banking app to transfer funds. While the specific steps for initiating a payment may vary depending on the chosen application, the overall process remains relatively simple.

 

Acquiring cryptocurrencies does not require an account with any institution, exchange, or company. However, if you are not familiar with setting up a wallet or transferring crypto, using a regulated exchange is a safer and more accessible option. A regulated cryptocurrency exchange facilitates the exchange of fiat money for cryptocurrency and provides additional features like storing private keys and technical support.

 

To send or receive cryptocurrency, a wallet application is necessary, which can be installed on computers or mobile devices. Several wallets with different features are available, and some are compatible with a wide range of cryptocurrencies while others work with only a few.

 

Most cryptocurrency exchanges offer a wallet that enables users to transfer funds or make payments using compatible services. Many wallets can use the device's camera to scan QR codes, which creates unique addresses for crypto transfers.

 

Additionally, several wallets provide all-in-one features, including regulated cryptocurrency exchanges, crypto wallets, and internal exchange services. Reputable options such as Coinbase, Trust Wallet, Bitpay, Crypto.com, SafePal, Binance, or Revolut can get you started by creating an account and funding it for crypto purchases.
