Fortunately, it’s easier than ever before. From Bitcoin ATMs (BTMs) to online buying, we’re here to walk you through it all.\nRead on to learn more about your cryptocurrency buying options.\nHow to Buy Cryptocurrency for Beginners: First Steps\nCryptocurrency is more popular than ever. In fact, it’s estimated that around\n900 million people\n* (data from\nstatista.com\n) will hold cryptocurrency of some kind in 2025. But, if you’re just starting out, you’re probably wondering how to buy cryptocurrency in the first place.\nLucky for you, there are plenty of convenient purchase methods available.\nBut before we dive into those, let’s cover some of the basics. Here are some essentials you need to understand first:\nDigital Wallet\n: In many cases, you’ll need a digital wallet to store your coins. There are many different types of wallets available, each with unique features and benefits. Explore\nour blog on wallets\nto get the full picture.\nPayment Methods\n: While cryptocurrency is purely digital, that doesn't mean you can’t\npurchase coins with cash\n. Sure, there are plenty of ways to buy with a card, but don’t count out cash purchases. They can add a level of convenience and privacy to the buying process.\nSafe Storage\n: Storing your cryptocurrency is much different than storing cash in your regular wallet. At the very least, understand the difference between owning your coins through self-custody and keeping them on an exchange where they control them. Our wallet blog linked above also touches on this topic.\nUnderstand Your Options\n: There are\nmore than 10,000 cryptocurrencies\n* (as mentioned on\nexlplodingtopics.com\n) in circulation. Each type will be very different from the other. Before making a purchase, always do your own research and understand the value of each coin.\nAccount Security\n: If you’re creating an account related to your cryptocurrency portfolio, like through an exchange, consider using\ntwo-factor authentication\n(2FA). This will help you stay safe. Social engineering attacks, like phishing, take advantage of human error and are by far the most common way people lose access to their accounts. \nThose are just a few tips to get you started. The crypto-verse is vast, and there is a lot to know. But those basics should give you a solid foundation. \nOf course, you still need to know where to buy cryptocurrency. That’s up next.\nBest Ways to Make a Purchase\nUnderstanding how to buy cryptocurrency means understanding all the options available to you.\nThere is no right or wrong way to make your first purchase. Of course, some differences exist between each specific method. We’ll break them down one by one so you can land on the right option for you and your needs.\n1. BTMs\nBTMs\nare convenient and easy to use. They are physical machines that find a home in convenience stores, cafes, and other retailers. Basically, you use cash to make a purchase and receive Bitcoin in return.\nCustomers gravitate towards BTMs for a few reasons:\nThey’re Convenient\n: BTMs are virtually everywhere, making Bitcoin buying more accessible to more people.\nThey’re Fast\n: BTMs can get you Bitcoin fast. In most cases, you just need to wait a few moments for the transaction to\nconfirm on the Bitcoin network\n.\nThey’re Easy to Use\n: No complex steps here. This makes BTMs a great choice for crypto-beginners and seasoned users alike.\nWant to know more? Explore\nour blog all about BTMs\n.\n2. Buying Online\nAnother common purchase method is\nbuying crypto online\n. This is a great choice for users who want to make a purchase with credit or debit cards with some online providers, like Bitcoin Depot, offering\nApple Pay and Google Pay\n. \nAdditionally, you can often purchase different types of cryptocurrency that may not be available at a BTM. For Bitcoin Depot’s online buying service, you can buy:\nBitcoin\nEthereum\nCardano\nRipple\nDogecoin\nSolana\nUSD Coin\nUSD Tether\nThe buy online experience from Bitcoin Depot is just as fast and convenient as our BTM experience. Moreover, you can make a purchase on your phone through the\nBitcoin Depot mobile app\n. \n3. BDCheckout™\nBDCheckout™\nis a service from the Bitcoin Depot team. It’s very similar to our BTM buying experience. The main difference is that you pay at the register through a cashier instead of at a BTM.\nIt’s just like buying a snack at your favorite store. Just in this case, instead of a bottle of soda or a candy bar, you’re buying Bitcoin.\nHere are some similarities to BTMs:\nYou use cash\nYou leverage the Bitcoin Depot app during your purchase\nYou still have access to the same on-call customer support\nBDCheckout™ is great for those users who want a bit more familiarity in their Bitcoin purchases. Currently, we offer this service in 29 states. But in those states, BDCheckout™ is\nwidely available\n.\n4. Online Exchanges\nYou’ve probably heard of a few of the most popular online exchanges. These are centralized cryptocurrency providers that give you access to all kinds of coins. While they are quite widespread, they’re not without their downsides.\nWhile they can be convenient for some users, there is a history of exchanges hampering users' purchase and transfer flexibility.\nThere are stories of exchanges freezing funds, transfers taking hours, and less than stellar customer support. Of course, the bad news often takes the spotlight, while good user experiences rarely ever make headlines. \nEven so, do your research before purchasing through\nan online cryptocurrency exchange\n.\nThere is no doubt that they offer convenient ways to purchase cryptocurrency and plenty of options, but there are some negatives that you, as a potential customer, should consider.\n5. Individual Deals (Peer-to-Peer)\nStill wondering how to buy cryptocurrency?\nIf none of these options have jumped out at you yet, there is one left that could be the right fit. We’re talking about the most old-school way of purchasing cryptocurrency: peer-to-peer (P2P) deals.\nThese work quite simply:\nYou find someone selling crypto\nYou offer them cash or pay with card for that crypto\nThey send it over to your wallet\nSome marketplaces exist to facilitate this kind of transaction. Additionally, there are over-the-counter (OTC) marketplaces, but those are really only for larger purchases, sometimes in the tens of thousands of dollars.\nFor smaller purchases, a P2P marketplace is your best bet.\nThere aren’t too many of these around anymore, but a few still exist. Some even offer escrow, meaning they’ll hold your money until the deal is finalized, adding a layer of security. For cash deals, though, this kind of transaction is more like a Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace deal, which potentially opens up new kinds of safety risks. \nHow to Buy Cryptocurrency with Bitcoin Depot\nIf you came in wondering how to buy cryptocurrency, hopefully, you now have your answer.\nWith so many options to choose from, it can be hard to land on a single choice. Lucky for you,\nBitcoin Depot\nhas it all. Whether you want to buy online or through a BTM, you can count on fast and convenient crypto purchases. \nMoreover, when it comes to BTMs, we operate the largest network in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, with over 8,400 locations (as of February 2025).\nFind your neighborhood BTM today\nand get started.\n*The information provided above is for informational purposes only.

Social engineering attacks, like phishing, take advantage of human error and are by far the most common way people lose access to their accounts. Those are just a few tips to get you started. The crypto-verse is vast, and there is a lot to know. But those basics should give you a solid foundation. Of course, you still need to know where to buy cryptocurrency. That’s up next. Best Ways to Make a Purchase Understanding how to buy cryptocurrency means understanding all the options available to you. There is no right or wrong way to make your first purchase. Of course, some differences exist between each specific method. We’ll break them down one by one so you can land on the right option for you and your needs. 1. BTMs BTMs are convenient and easy to use. They are physical machines that find a home in convenience stores, cafes, and other retailers. Basically, you use cash to make a purchase and receive Bitcoin in return. Customers gravitate towards BTMs for a few reasons: They’re Convenient : BTMs are virtually everywhere, making Bitcoin buying more accessible to more people. They’re Fast : BTMs can get you Bitcoin fast. In most cases, you just need to wait a few moments for the transaction to confirm on the Bitcoin network . They’re Easy to Use : No complex steps here. This makes BTMs a great choice for crypto-beginners and seasoned users alike. Want to know more? Explore our blog all about BTMs . 2. Buying Online Another common purchase method is buying crypto online . This is a great choice for users who want to make a purchase with credit or debit cards with some online providers, like Bitcoin Depot, offering Apple Pay and Google Pay . Additionally, you can often purchase different types of cryptocurrency that may not be available at a BTM. For Bitcoin Depot’s online buying service, you can buy: Bitcoin Ethereum Cardano Ripple Dogecoin Solana USD Coin USD Tether The buy online experience from Bitcoin Depot is just as fast and convenient as our BTM experience. Moreover, you can make a purchase on your phone through the Bitcoin Depot mobile app . 3. BDCheckout™ BDCheckout™ is a service from the Bitcoin Depot team. It’s very similar to our BTM buying experience. The main difference is that you pay at the register through a cashier instead of at a BTM. It’s just like buying a snack at your favorite store. Just in this case, instead of a bottle of soda or a candy bar, you’re buying Bitcoin. Here are some similarities to BTMs: You use cash You leverage the Bitcoin Depot app during your purchase You still have access to the same on-call customer support BDCheckout™ is great for those users who want a bit more familiarity in their Bitcoin purchases. Currently, we offer this service in 29 states. But in those states, BDCheckout™ is widely available . 4. Online Exchanges You’ve probably heard of a few of the most popular online exchanges. These are centralized cryptocurrency providers that give you access to all kinds of coins. While they are quite widespread, they’re not without their downsides. While they can be convenient for some users, there is a history of exchanges hampering users' purchase and transfer flexibility. There are stories of exchanges freezing funds, transfers taking hours, and less than stellar customer support. Of course, the bad news often takes the spotlight, while good user experiences rarely ever make headlines. Even so, do your research before purchasing through an online cryptocurrency exchange . There is no doubt that they offer convenient ways to purchase cryptocurrency and plenty of options, but there are some negatives that you, as a potential customer, should consider. 5. Individual Deals (Peer-to-Peer) Still wondering how to buy cryptocurrency? If none of these options have jumped out at you yet, there is one left that could be the right fit. We’re talking about the most old-school way of purchasing cryptocurrency: peer-to-peer (P2P) deals. These work quite simply: You find someone selling crypto You offer them cash or pay with card for that crypto They send it over to your wallet Some marketplaces exist to facilitate this kind of transaction. Additionally, there are over-the-counter (OTC) marketplaces, but those are really only for larger purchases, sometimes in the tens of thousands of dollars. For smaller purchases, a P2P marketplace is your best bet. There aren’t too many of these around anymore, but a few still exist. Some even offer escrow, meaning they’ll hold your money until the deal is finalized, adding a layer of security. For cash deals, though, this kind of transaction is more like a Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace deal, which potentially opens up new kinds of safety risks.

This is a common question for beginners just dipping their toes in the crypto waters. Fortunately, it’s easier than ever before. From Bitcoin ATMs (BTMs) to online buying, we’re here to walk you through it all. Read on to learn more about your cryptocurrency buying options. ## How to Buy Cryptocurrency for Beginners: First Steps Cryptocurrency is more popular than ever.

But, if you’re just starting out, you’re probably wondering how to buy cryptocurrency in the first place. Lucky for you, there are plenty of convenient purchase methods available. But before we dive into those, let’s cover some of the basics. Here are some essentials you need to understand first: - Digital Wallet: In many cases, you’ll need a digital wallet to store your coins. There are many different types of wallets available, each with unique features and benefits. Explore [our blog on wallets](https://bitcoindepot.com/bitcoin-atm-info/the-bitcoin-wallet-app-debate-not-your-keys-not-your-coins/) to get the full picture. - Payment Methods: While cryptocurrency is purely digital, that doesn't mean you can’t [purchase coins with cash](https://bitcoindepot.com/bitcoin-atm-info/where-can-i-buy-bitcoin-with-cash-comparing-your-options/). Sure, there are plenty of ways to buy with a card, but don’t count out cash purchases. They can add a level of convenience and privacy to the buying process. - Safe Storage: Storing your cryptocurrency is much different than storing cash in your regular wallet. At the very least, understand the difference between owning your coins through self-custody and keeping them on an exchange where they control them. Our wallet blog linked above also touches on this topic. - Understand Your Options: There are [more than 10,000 cryptocurrencies](https://explodingtopics.com/blog/number-of-cryptocurrencies)\* (as mentioned on exlplodingtopics.com) in circulation.
