Investing in Bitcoin (BTCUSD) can seem complicated, but trading Bitcoin only requires an account at a service or an exchange, and safe storage practices are recommended.

Valid methods of bitcoin payment include bank accounts, debit cards, and credit cards and it's possible to get bitcoin at specialized ATMs and via P2P exchanges.

Bitcoin investors need a cryptocurrency exchange account, personal identification documents if you are using a Know Your Client (KYC) platform, a secure connection to the Internet, a method of payment, and a personal wallet outside of the exchange account.
