From Cash to Crypto: A Quick Beginner's Guide

Step 1: Start with Fiat Currency (Usd, Eur, etc.)

  • Choose a Centralized Exchange (CEX) like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken.

  • Create an account and verify your identity (KYC).

  • Deposit funds using your bank account, debit card, or wire transfer.

  • In your exchange account, go to Buy/Sell.

  • Select BTC (Bitcoin) or ETH (Ethereum).

  • Enter the amount you want to buy.

  • Review fees and confirm the purchase.

  • Download MetaMask (browser/mobile) or Freewallet (web-based).

  • Create a new wallet and secure your seed phrase (12 words).

  • Never share your seed phrase — this is the key to your funds.

Step 2: Buy Your First Crypto
Step 3: Set Up a Non-Custodial Wallet
Step 4: Transfer Crypto to Your Wallet

  • In your wallet, copy your public wallet address.

  • On the CEX, go to Withdraw or Send.

  • Paste your wallet address, choose BTC or ETH, and confirm the transfer.

  • Wait for the blockchain confirmation — your crypto now lives in your wallet, fully under your control.

Important Safety Tips

  • Always double-check wallet addresses before sending.

  • Start with a small test transaction first.

  • Keep your seed phrase offline in a safe place.
