Here’s the easy way to get started:
- Step 1: Pick a Website
- There are lots of websites where you can create a crypto wallet. Some popular ones include Coinbase, Blockchain.com, and Binance.
- Step 2: Sign Up
- Create an account with your email and password. Make sure your password is very strong!
- Step 3: Check Your Email
- They’ll email you a link to click. This proves it’s really you.
- Step 4: Turn on 2FA
- This makes your account much safer. They’ll text you a code every time you log in.
- Step 5: Get Your Wallet Address
- This is a bunch of random letters and numbers. Think of it like your bank account number for crypto. Give this to people if you want them to send you crypto.
Write Down Your Backup Phrase
This is how you get your crypto back if you forget your password. Write it down and put it somewhere safe. You’re All Set! Now you can send and receive crypto.
Important Stuff
Never tell anyone your password or backup phrase. Whoever knows these controls your crypto! Online wallets are easy to use, but not as safe as hardware wallets (these are like little USB sticks for your crypto).
