You can easily get started with BitCoin.<\/p>\n

If you’re new to BitCoin and the AltCoins world, this guide is for you.<\/p>\n

If you’re just started and an amateur at the game of BitCoins and AltCoins, this guide is also for you.<\/p>\n

(If you’re already well experienced in the world of BitCoin, our avanced BitCoin guide is due to be out later this year.\u00a0 Otherwise, read on!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bitcoin“What Is BitCoins?”<\/h2>\n

Someone recently emailed and asked this question.\u00a0 It’s much more grammatically correct to ask “What ARE BitCoins”.<\/p>\n

But being asked the question in this way,\u00a0it was interesting for us to note…<\/p>\n

We didn’t yet have a guide about BitCoin\/BitCoins on ShowMeHowToDothis.<\/p>\n

(We have been playing in the Bitcoin space for a while now.\u00a0 We’ve even made some free videos about BitCoin<\/a>.\u00a0 But with the videos we had made, we didn’t even realize that a guide was needed.)<\/p>\n

But clearly, someone asking “What is<\/em> bitcoins”, gives us a clear idea that there are plenty of people who don’t understand or know the BitCoin world at all.<\/p>\n

A quick answer…<\/em><\/p>\n

In short, to get started with BitCoin, here’s the most basic part to understand.<\/p>\n

BitCoin is a form of currency, just like a US Dollar, a British Pound, a Euro, or a Japanese Yen.<\/p>\n

\"how

Unlike USD or EUR or Japanese Yen, Bitcoin is NOT a physical currency. That’s the most basic thing to understand when you want to get started with BitCoin.<\/p><\/div>\n

Where the US Dollar is labeled USD<\/strong>, a BitCoin’s symbol is BTC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unlike the Dollar, pound, or Yen, (and unlike what’s shown in the picture on this page), BitCoins are not physical currency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BitCoin (and other AltCoins) are DIGITAL currency.<\/p>\n

This means that there’s not really a “physical” form” of curency called a BitCoin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You’re going to learn, starting in chapter 1, about what BitCoins are.<\/p>\n

You’ll also learn in chapter one (with step-by-step instructions), how to sign up for an account that will let you purchase Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve established that…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 2<\/strong> is going to cover questions like:<\/p>\n

How to get a BitCoin wallet, and\u00a0how to use a BitCoin wallet<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 3:<\/strong> All about the money<\/p>\n

How to add money to a bitcoin wallet,
\nHow to buy bitcoins with cash, and
\nHow to get bitcoins for free (or for a small amount of work)<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 4:<\/strong> Alternative ways of buying BitCoins<\/p>\n

  • How to buy BitCoin with a Credit Card
    \n(This is updated for this year!
