How to Invest in Bitcoin in Three Easy Steps

Investing in Bitcoin is really very simple. The easiest way is to:

1)Setup up a Coinbase account using my affiliate link (We will both get $10 in Bitcoin when you make your first $100 purchase). To set up your coinbase account you will need a valid government issued ID, a bank account, and a phone number/address

2) Wait a couple of days for account approval

3) Buy Bitcoin (or other crypto)

After that, you hold it until you find a price you want to sell at or hold it forever or wait until you find something you want to buy with it. Bitcoin traditionally has a lot of up and down movement so you can either buy high and sell low (don’t do this, instead just give your money to charity or something) or have patience, avoid selling in panic or on market emotion, and wait for a return you are happy with.

That’s it. You now know how to invest in Bitcoin. If you want to know more about what Bitcoin is, check out this article.

My advice, and it’s worth what you paid for it, is to buy at least one Bitcoin either all at once or over a longer period of time – (you can do like $10 a week if you want to) and hold that thing for five to ten years. I firmly believe that in a decade, a single bitcoin will be worth $1 million dollars or more.


A crypto startup called Petshitter — a platform to turn dog waste into crypto, pay people to collect it, and solve a real problem no one in tech has touched. A ridiculous ticket to $3 million in VC funding, a military-grade hazing boot camp, and a seat at the table of the most corrupt, brilliant, and self-congratulatory ecosystem in human history.
