How buying Bitcoin works:
- What should I prepare before buying Bitcoin?
- Prepare a valid ID, a Canadian funding method, and a Bitcoin wallet address you control. The course explains why each item matters before you open an account.
- What happens during a 1Bitcoin purchase?
- With 1Bitcoin, you whitelist a Bitcoin address you control, send your funds, and receive Bitcoin at that address. The course walks through the process before you decide whether to buy.
- Where should I keep my Bitcoin?
- A personal wallet lets you control the keys to your Bitcoin. You will learn the difference between mobile and hardware wallets, plus how recovery phrases and backups work.
- How much Bitcoin should I buy?
- That is a personal decision. The course does not recommend whether, when, or how much Bitcoin to buy; it gives you practical information so you can make your own choice.
- How can I avoid first-time mistakes and scams?
- Slow down when someone creates urgency, asks for a recovery phrase, or sends an unexpected wallet address. The course gives you repeatable checks for spotting these warning signs.
