Investing in Bitcoin can seem complicated, but it isn't. It only requires an account at a service or an exchange and a way to store your purchases safely. Bitcoin investors need a cryptocurrency exchange account, personal identification documents if using a Know Your Client (KYC) platform, a secure internet connection, a payment method and a personal digital wallet outside of the exchange account. Valid payment methods for Bitcoin are bank accounts, debit cards and credit cards. It is also possible to receive Bitcoin at special ATMs and via peer-to-peer (P2P) exchanges.
