Thanks, yes I will lock the topic now I saw the button there and will follow your idea...and thanks for explaining about trading, yes i would like to start but as you sure understand i am a bit nervous to be scammed. but i think i got so many helpful answers here last days... so it wont happen. and yes only what you can afford to lose. thank you #LetsGoGirlsAndStartTrading 

Good to have you here. I noticed that you got answers to all your questions and if you can return here, you may decide to lock the thread at the down left corner of the post.
Among everything in OP, what caught my interest is "you haven't traded before". I will encourage you to trade. With the money you can afford to lose, you should also please learn how to trade before trading. One funny thing is that almost everyone in the cryptocurrency industry at one time or the other has tried their hands in trading. It is when you have tried, you will understand if trading is actually for you or not.

Thank you so much.

Welcome to this forum and your presentation as new to the forum is really nice. Suggestion for you as a forum member is to stay aware of this forum and try to inform some forum members yourself as well as learn from the forum. There are several important sections for newbies in which the links have already been shared by other members above, you will follow the posts of those sections regularly. You must spend more time in this forum than all other members because you are new now if you spend more time in forum then you will get interest in this forum then you can definitely make good from this forum. My best wishes for you.

@kristiyana please don't advice any newbie to use (AI) to do research in this forum because as long as Bitcointalk forum is concerned anything AI is highly not acceptable. you can only advice them to use the forum Search Button because mentioning AI to any newbie will going to lead them to spamming or plagiarism in this forum and which is not acceptable.

I have checked all your replies in this thread, and it seems you don't want to be KYC'ed. I saw that another user suggested you use hodlhodl or bisq to buy Bitcoin. Did you do that? Have you already bought BTC? If so, do not keep it on any exchanges or platforms. Instead, use a non-custodial open-source Bitcoin wallet like Electrum. Make sure to download electrum from the official website.

That is because of your low rank. You are still a newbie and the forum admin restricted newbies posts every 360 seconds so they don't generate spam. If you want to add something, edit your previous post. Or wait 360 seconds.

Depends on where you are going to buy your bitcoin, if it's a P2P trade here with a reputable vendor, you can get away with not requiring any KYC but you do have to comply to the vendor's condition because they're also taking a risk. Or you can go for non-KYC exchange to buy your bitcoin, you have to remember this option because it's helpful to you. But if you really want things to be convenient, you have to take the loss and go comply with the KYC policy in a centralized exchange.

yes but if i never try i can never learn.. right? i will start to buy bitcoin and keep it in my wallet..but what the difference from trading crypto  from buying cryppto and keeping it in the wallet? thank you



my last question why do i need to have to wait 360 seconds for the next post?

I don't know how much experience you have about crypto currency, as a new member I would suggest you to get proper knowledge about bitcoin or other coins. Through the web site you can find out which site is suitable to buy crypto currency online in your country and from there you select an exchange and can start investing or trading. Personally I think you are better off choosing an investment scheme rather than trading first. Since you don't know the trade you need to do a lot of research and spend enough time. It's a tricky subject that there are many people who take years to learn. In the early stages if you want to trade you have to give up the illusion of money, because beginner traders lose money all the time.

OP, while @mk4 have made valid points of clarity about the necessary wallets that maybe recommendable for you, let me also let you know that for now that you are coming in as a beginner, I advice you venture on a long term goal so that you can protect your interest of selling at a lower value where losts maybe accounted if you are too desperate to sell your Bitcoin in a short term and so also, venturing on a long term goal would provide you with an unpanicking emotions even when the market price goes against your target. Note it that Bitcoin is a volatile digital currency with the potentials of UPs and DOWNs.

So clearly speaking, holding is the best and for that in the main time, you do not need to have your assets stored on the Centralized exchange such as the Binance for security purposes. Right in the decentralized exchange you can purchase your Bitcoin either on a P2P and have your assets stored on a more reliable non-custodial wallets as @mk4 has recommended.

hello, welcome to the forum, I hope you feel at home here and continue to update our knowledge together. First of all, I suggest you start reading whatever interests you, whether it's bitcoin, altcoins, trading or something else. When you've read anything and there are some points you don't understand, please ask the members here, I'm sure everyone is welcome to new people. For Bitcoin trading, there are lots of exchanges, some of which I recommend are Binance and Bitget, because I'm using them now. good luck bro.

First you are highly welcome and asking question is not a bad idea but I think sometimes it is not necessary to ask though you will be given an answer which some many not be helpful while some will be and sometimes people will start arguing to an extent you will be confuse on what advice or opinion to take. However, I think the best thing to do is thorough research, check different sites and if possible use AI and after which you compare everything and contrast, some link are videos and sometimes most of those videos can be confuse and most required someone to first explain again for you, for better understanding.

Based on my experience, every board that is available and open when I click, it really helps me to get knowledge because each board contains discussions according to the topic.
This Beginners & Help Board is one of my main topics when I just started.
The way I do is click on the quote to see how they make useful posts for me to ask if I want to ask something.

The topic is marked with the Pinned icon, a mandatory topic for me to read in every board in this forum.


In the exchange that you trust. Choose Exchange that is well known as a place to buy in your domicile country.
Exchange only functions to buy and sell not a place to store coins.

Welcome to forum Bitcoin and I am happy with your desire to learn Bitcoin and crypto here.

Hmm, trading-related concerns can be discussed in the trading section, and this is preferred as well, if you want to buy and invest regularly in Bitcoin make sure to set your restrictions first like do you want to stay anonymous or you are ok even after revealing your identity to buy Bitcoins because it will open up a space for you to explore like if you can compromise on identity there are reputed platform offer P2P direct buying options in the crypto market to accumulate Bitcoin or any other crypto you want.

They are user-friendly easy to use, and easy to secure but your funds won't be in your hands yo'll rely on a third-party platform for the management of your funds if you want to manage things yourself then learn about decentralized finance and then enter because blind entry can cost a lot as there are many things to learn before being your own fund's manager.

If you want to use Centralized Exchanges, I suggest looking for ones with no Know Your Customer terms.  Know Your Customer will be a headache if you some how trigger it or the website decides to trigger it on you.  Look for either Decentralized Exchanges, a no Know Your Customer ATM if you have any in your area or Centralized Exchanges with no Know Your Customer regulations.

Cryptocurrency is very tempting to trade because at a first glance it looks as if it is easy to make money out of them.  But if you try it out, you realize very quickly it is not as easy as it seems.

So.  I advise you do not trade at all.  You need to acknowledge the GIANT risks involved first.  The best thing to do particularly as a beginner is to Dollar Cost Average only.

You need to read every bits of informations provided to you concerning that right from the start, read them, check on pinned threads, read them as well, ask questions when necessary, make use of the forum search engine, don't plagiarize, often read more than making post as a beginner, you will find this platform more interesting with time as you continue to learn and grow.


If you don't mind on giving out your informations for KYC, you can make use of the centralized exchanges, but if you can't afford for that, you should make use of a decentralized exchange, but make sure that you research well about how reputable anyone of them is before using.

The one closest to you...

What is certain is that it is on an exchange that is official and legal in your country. Register there and make sure you have fulfilled all the requirements so that in the end, if you have made a profit from your investment, whether from trading or holding BTC assets, you can cash it back.

Take good care of everything, whether it's 2fa passwords or others. Just enter manually, never save your password online and take good care of your smartphone so it doesn't get lost or stolen.

People say your email is your wallet. I say your cellphone is your money because all the data is there.

It's better if you don't rush to buy Bitcoin from forum members. I suggest you first study the forum and people with a reputation on the forum. especially those often related to trade.
after you create this thread, I hope you don't trust anyone who sends you a PM too much. The forum remains a safe place for you, but you still have to be careful of people who might take advantage of your situation.

If you want to buy bitcoins without fraud then of course you can use the exchange. For example, you can use Kucoin Exchange, Bybit Exchange, Binance Exchange.  Because you can complete any transaction through P2P in these exchanges.  And there is comprehensive security so you can complete the transactions from here properly.

This thread make me so happy to see, when an new user arrives and friendly reputable members guiding her in the beginning, this is life, this is world, we all are the same and we should help each other like this and not argue and try to bring each other down. 🙏
Respect to you all that took your time and replied to her. And to Real FB you much very welcome to the forum of Bitcointalk. Sadly I don't have so much advice to give you because I am kinda fresh here also. But if you would wounder anything you are always free to ask.

This is how forums should be! You guys are great.

Peace & Love. / BabyBandit.

Welcome to bitcointalk platform. From the looks, you have already been updated of some vital information which you would need for a start but however, I would also advise you to take the security and safety of your assets very seriously because the rate of scams and hacks are getting too high.

Most times, newbies are their targets and should be careful with links sent to you via email, social media handles, text etc. do not click links you have no idea or knowledge about. If you do not know the sender or expecting any link from anybody, immediately delete it  as there is every possibility that the link contains bugs which would be it used for phishing your details to steal from you.

Never keep your assets with any third party exchange because doing such does not guarantee the safety of your assets. If the exchange can state it clearly on their terms and conditions of service to not be able to guarantee you 100% assets safety, what do you expect. Lately big exchanges have suffered hack and that alone should be an eye opener that third parties can not be trusted to hold funds so in that case, keep your assets in your own self custodial wallet for your safety.

 Keep your keys and seed phrase where you alone can access. Do not store them in google cloud but rather, it would be nice you write them down on a sheet of paper or note book which you alone  could see.
Remember the slogan " Not your keys, Not your coin".

The reply above mine already answered your question but I will add that you should be careful because the forum is not a scam free platform. Some people will probably message you seeing how eager you are to buy bitcoin, they will try to use the opportunity to scam you. I'm not saying everyone that message you is a scammer but whatever happens please make sure you buy through escrow if you are to buy from anyone in this forum.


Doing personal research is very necessary and this forum is also a tool for research thou you can not rely on everything here just like in other research platforms as they are people's opinion based on their own experience. What Mk posted is just a link with additional information that might be helpful to the Op and the readers in general. I understand your point too because some newbies think everything end here without additional research.

P2p dealing with sepa bank is possible with wire transfers but surely there will be no one interested dealing with a credit card. You can make your own thread on Currency exchange. Make sure to follow the board's rules that can be seen as stickied in that board.

I don't know if you can purchase through your sepa bank. But you can purchase bitcoin from this forum. I think the below answer will help you.

I would like to say thank to you everyone that took their time to answer my questions it really helped me to understand more of how these things works.
But one more question can i buy bitcoin here on the forum with my sepa bank account or credit card? or is that not safe maybe? i ask because here i dont see any KYC

At least in some jurisdictions (mine included) you are not the one required by law to submit it: it is them (centralised exchanges, banks...) who are required to ask it to you under the risk of having to face high fines from the regulator in case they don't. Although the effect is almost the same in practice, it means that if a centralised service doesn't ask you to submit AML/KYC you probably won't have any legal problems if you use it.

You're required by law to submit AML/KYC if you're using a big centralized exchange or literally any finance-related platform(even banks, as you probably know); this applies to like probably 95% of countries globally.

If you're not a fan of AML/KYC, go with peer-to-peer exchanges like Bisq and HodlHodl.

Binance is a centralized exchange and will certainly ask their users to do KYC. If you’re not comfortable with giving out your personal information, you can use a decentralized exchange like bisq. You can read their Ann thread for a guide on how it works.

thank for information but do i must use KYC and driver license to buy bitcoin? sorry if it sounds stupid but I am totally fresh and am afraid to get scammed. I know binance but they say  I must do KYC and it seems a bit sketzy?

There is a sticky thread on this board which contains all the threads that are useful to newbies like, forum rules and how to understand profile information. Try to read the sticky threads on different boards to understand what is allowed there and what is not. Use the search option effectively too.

I never said OP or anyone should rely on the provided links alone lol. It's just a list of content with the basics that people will need when they don't know where to start.

God forbid if I need to add a disclaimer "but of course do your own research and look elsewhere for other content and yea be active so you're updated!" every time I post links.

Don't get anything twisted, your preferable links are understandable but for clarity, thorough research should be triggered. The above mentioned criteria will play major roles in guiding OP but that shouldn't mean he will relent and depend on them, rather grabbed the basis and also surf for himself some crucial information to keep himself updated. We know the space is broad but there's numerous sectors to get acquainted to and survive for important winnings.

Use whatever local platform you have in your country that has a good public reputation. Generally though, I personally use Binance P2P.
