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.
