How can a newbie get Bitcoin? In the world of digital currencies, the first and most difficult task for a newbie is to acquire some Bitcoins. Unlike other normal foreign currencies, you cannot buy Bitcoin at banks or self-service machines.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. And most electronic payment networks (such as credit cards, debit cards, PayPal and bank account transfers) are reversible. For those selling Bitcoin, this discrepancy creates a high risk that the buyer will reverse the electronic payment after receiving the Bitcoin, effectively defrauding the seller.

To mitigate this risk, companies that accept traditional electronic payments often require buyers to undergo identity verification and credit verification (which can take days or weeks). As a new user, this means you can't use your credit card to buy Bitcoin right away. It takes a little patience and creative thinking, but don't rush it.

Here are some ways to get Bitcoin as a newbie:

1. Buy from a friend

Find a friend who has Bitcoin and buy some directly from him or her. Many Bitcoin users started out this way. This method is the least complicated. In China, you can find such Bitcoin users in many WeChat groups and QQ groups. Join the WeChat group and the Aite group owner will conduct guaranteed transactions for you. You can use WeChat payment or Alipay. After the guaranteed transaction is completed, you can Get Bitcoin.

2. Mining to obtain Bitcoins

There are currently two main methods of Bitcoin mining, the first is hardware mining, and the second is cloud computing power mining.

Hardware mining refers to the user purchasing and managing all mining hardware and supporting all necessary operating costs, liabilities and setup fees. Mining is a very energy-intensive process that can result in high electricity bills. Additionally, the hardware and cooling fans need to keep their temperatures constant. Hardware mining is undoubtedly a more expensive process as it requires users to make all the initial investment themselves, which can be a significant investment. Additionally, delivery of hardware can take weeks. In order to set up mining equipment, users must also have certain technical knowledge.

Cloud computing power mining is a mining method that provides low entry, low cost, low risk and low fee, which is different from the traditional mining model that requires the purchase of high-configuration hardware and professional maintenance. To put it simply, users mine through the mining machines provided by the cloud computing platform. It can be said to be a cloud application or a rental hosting service. Cloud computing power mining usually provides computing power leasing services by large mines. Users can earn Bitcoins mined by corresponding computing power by purchasing computing power contracts. It eliminates the tedious steps of mines, mining machine settings, mining noise, etc. caused by users' own mining. At the same time, users may be able to pay less electricity and maintenance fees compared to home mining.

3. Purchase from OTC trading platform

The seller hands over the Bitcoin (or other currencies) to the over-the-counter trading platform for locking, and the buyer transfers the money through WeChat Pay, Alipay, bank card, etc. After the seller confirms receipt of the legal currency, the platform will release the locked Bitcoin to the buyer. Transaction complete.

At present, the largest OTC trading platform is localbitcoin, but its operation interface is not friendly and not suitable for Chinese users. In addition, the handling fee is as high as 1%, which is really crazy!

Therefore, most traders in China still look for websites built by Chinese people who are friendly in Chinese and have product experience. The user experience is good, communication is no problem, and the charges are much more reasonable. Of course, the most important thing in OTC trading is trust, so if you are not very familiar with it, it is recommended not to deposit too many coins on the platform at the beginning. Currently, there are many trading platforms including Coincola, Bitcoin World, 58coin, and OTCBTC. I will not list them all here.

4. Earn Bitcoin through products or services

For example, if you are a programmer, you can sell your programming skills and specify that you will be paid in Bitcoin.

5. Use Bitcoin ATMs

Bitcoin ATMs are machines that accept cash and send Bitcoins to your smartphone Bitcoin wallet. The main function of a Bitcoin ATM machine is to allow Bitcoin customers to convert their Bitcoins into cash, and also to convert cash into Bitcoins. This is the main function of a Bitcoin ATM machine. Bitcoin ATM machines are very different from the ATM machines we are traditionally familiar with. Bitcoin ATM machines are connected to the Internet and can receive cash, exchange Bitcoins, and sell Bitcoins using the blockchain.
