If you understand wallets, the next question is obvious:
“How do I actually buy crypto?”
I’ll explain this slow, simple, and safe — no confusion.
Step 1: Choose a Crypto Exchange
A crypto exchange is a platform where you buy/sell crypto using money.
Beginner-Friendly Exchanges:
- Binance – Very popular worldwide
- Coinbase – Simple & beginner friendly
- OKX – Advanced but powerful
👉 If you’re a beginner, Binance or Coinbase is enough.
Step 2: Create an Account
On the exchange:
- Sign up with email
- Set a strong password
- Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA)
⚠️ Never skip 2FA — it protects your account.
Step 3: Complete KYC (Verification)
Most exchanges require identity verification:
- CNIC / Passport
- Selfie
- Basic personal info
This is normal and required by law in many countries.
Step 4: Add Money (Deposit Funds)
You can deposit using:
- Bank transfer
- Debit/Credit card
- P2P (person-to-person)
Beginner Tip:
P2P is often cheaper, but:
- Trade only with verified sellers
- Follow exchange instructions exactly
Step 5: Buy Your First Crypto
Once money is added:
- Search for a coin (example: BTC, ETH)
- Choose amount
- Click Buy
🎉 Congrats — you now own crypto.
Step 6: Transfer Crypto to Your Wallet (IMPORTANT)
Do NOT keep large amounts on exchanges.
Why?
- Exchanges can freeze accounts
- Hacks happen
- You don’t control private keys
What to Do:
- Open your wallet (Trust Wallet / MetaMask)
- Copy your wallet address
- Withdraw crypto from exchange to wallet
👉 This step = real ownership
