How to buy Bitshares (BTS)

Over the last decade, cryptocurrencies have gained popularity both as an investment option and as a method of sending money to somebody. Though we’ve talked much about Bitshares, it may still be tricky to buy BTS. Here is how you can do that.

1. Through the crypto exchange or investing platform

Today, not many traditional brokers and banks give their clients an opportunity to buy or sell Bitshares. However, you can do it at crypto exchanges. To buy Bitshares you should follow the steps below:

1. Choose the crypto exchange or investing platform.
2. Register and verify your identity.
3. Fund your account.
4. Choose the storage method.

Even though most crypto exchanges work the same way, they may have different fees, coins available, and safety features. Additionally, pay attention to deposit and withdrawal terms.

The most popular platforms that trade Bitshares are Binance, Coinbase, FTX, Krake, etc.

After you buy your first Bitshares, you need to choose the way to store it. You can do it in 3 ways: a trading platform (crypto exchange) account, a how wallet and a cold wallet. It’s recommended to keep on your platform account only the balance you are planning to trade soon. For large sums and long-term investments consider using hot or cold wallets. When you use a hot wallet, your wallet key is generated online and your funds are stored on an online-connected device. A key to a cold wallet (or a hardware wallet) is stored on the device not connected to the Internet or even on paper (a paper wallet). Cold wallets are much more secure, but require some hardware knowledge and more responsibility for the device's physical safety.

2. At Bitcoin (not only) ATMs

In the US more and more crypto ATMs are opening in many states. Despite the name “Bitcoin ATM”, you can buy and sell other cryptocurrencies as well. To buy Bitshares in crypto ATM you’ll need to insert cash, which will be used to purchase Bitshares.

When using Bitcoin ATMs for purchasing Bitshares be aware that most of the machines have high fees: a fee for converting fiat money into BTS and a purchase fee.

3. Invest in crypto-related companies

If you want to invest in Bitshares without taking on so much risk, you may invest in publicly traded companies that operate directly with cryptocurrencies (PayPal, Coinbase), supply hardware for mining (Nvidia), or simply have a portion of crypto on their balance (Square).

4. Wait for Crypto ETFs

An ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is a “basket” of securities which is traded on a stock exchange. The price of an ETF changes corresponding to its components, but because of the large number of securities in the fund, an investor diversifies the portfolio hence hedging risk and decreasing potential losses.

Because of crypto regulation issues, at the moment, there are several crypto ETFs that are being reviewed by the SEC (the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). Some of them may include Bitshares and may be available to the public within a short period. Bookmark Myfin.us in order not to miss the moment when you can buy ETFs with Bitshares.
