First purchase
What matters to a beginner
Seven checks, in order. Take the bonus only after the rest.
- 01
An account from your country
A cheap exchange is useless if residents cannot open it.
- 02
Money in and money out
A card or bank in the currency you already hold, and the same path back.
- 03
The price of a normal buy
Beginners almost always pay taker. Read the published VIP0 fee, not a “0%” banner.
- 04
A passport is normal
A real card deposit asks for documents. Skipping identity does not make a venue safer.
- 05
Who holds the coins
How long the venue has run, whether it publishes a licence, and proof of reserves.
- 06
The coins you will actually buy
Bitcoin and Ether are enough for a first purchase. A longer list does not improve it.
- 07
The bonus comes last
Take a referral code only after the checks above. It does not cancel a ban or replace a cash-out.
