Step 1: Choosing an exchange

The first step is choosing a trading platform. In Israel, you can use services like Bits of Gold, Bit2C, or international platforms like Coinbase and Binance. It is important to check fees, regulation, and security. Compare crypto exchanges here.

Step 2: Identity Verification (KYC)

Every regulated exchange will require identity verification. You will need an ID, proof of address, and sometimes a selfie. The process usually takes 24-48 hours.

Step 3: Deposit money

After verification, you can deposit money by bank transfer, credit card, or digital payment. Pay attention to deposit fees – they can vary significantly between platforms.

Step 4: Making the purchase

It is possible to buy Bitcoin with a Market Order (immediate market price) or a Limit Order (a price you set in advance). For beginners, Market Order is simpler. There is no need to buy a whole bitcoin – you can buy small parts (stoshi).

Step 5: Secure storage

After the purchase, it is important to consider where to keep the bitcoin. Leaving coins in the exchange is convenient but involves risk. A hardware wallet (Hardware Wallet) like Ledger or Trezor offers higher security. Read about the security of your wallet.

More tips

Invest only what you are willing to lose. Crypto is a volatile asset. Consider a gradual investment (DCA – Dollar Cost Averaging) instead of a one-time investment. And above all – study before investing. Our site offers guides and articles to help you understand the market.
