The vast majority claim that they want to get started in the world of cryptocurrencies, but that it is a \u201cdifficult\u201d process.<\/p>\n<p>However, the process of buying cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, is really\u00a0<strong>simple<\/strong>. In this article you will learn how to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in\u00a0<strong>Barcelona<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to know is that the purchase of cryptocurrencies does not have to be\u00a0<strong>affected<\/strong>\u00a0by the user\u2019s location, as they can also be purchased\u00a0<strong>online<\/strong>. In this article we will explain both processes of purchases,\u00a0<strong>both online and physically in Bitnovo\u2019s company.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_buy_cryptocurrencies_in_bitnovo_online\"><\/span><strong>How to buy cryptocurrencies in Bitnovo online?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you prefer to carry out the process from the comfort of your home, you can do it with Bitnovo online.\u00a0<strong>This process is very simple<\/strong>, we will explain it below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The first thing to do is to\u00a0<strong>go to Bitnovo\u2019s official website<\/strong>\u00a0and choose the option to buy cryptocurrencies. You can access directly from this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/en\/buy\/bitcoin\/\">link<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once you have entered the purchase page, you will have to choose the amount of\u00a0<strong>euros<\/strong>\u00a0you want to convert into cryptocurrencies, the cryptocurrency you prefer to buy and then click on the \u201c<strong>buy<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once you have completed this step you must\u00a0<strong>enter the following requested data<\/strong>: your wallet address where you want to send your cryptocurrencies, your phone number, an e-mail and of course, a payment method (card, bank transfer or other cryptocurrencies).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">As a last step\u00a0<strong>you must perform identity verification, also known as KYC.<\/strong>\u00a0This is a government-mandated process to combat money laundering in banking, financial and stock market activities. It is a very simple process that you can complete in minutes. Once this quick process is approved, the cryptocurrencies will arrive in your wallet shortly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are not sure what a\u00a0<strong>wallet<\/strong>\u00a0is, don\u2019t worry, we will explain it later.<\/p>\n<p>This would be the\u00a0<strong>online purchase<\/strong>\u00a0process that can be done both to buy cryptocurrencies in\u00a0<strong>Barcelona<\/strong>\u00a0and from anywhere. To perform this process we only need a device with\u00a0<strong>internet access<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This process has a great\u00a0<strong>advantage and it is that you do not need to travel<\/strong>\u00a0and besides buying with a credit card, you can also buy\u00a0<strong>through bank transfer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"image_1335508237\" class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\">\n<div class=\"img-inner dark\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C%C3%B3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid3.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid3.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid3-300x205.jpeg 300w\" alt=\"C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid\" width=\"768\" height=\"526\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid3.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid3-300x205.jpeg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid3.jpeg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"buying_cryptocurrencies_physically_in_barcelona\"><\/span><strong>Buying cryptocurrencies physically in Barcelona<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are in\u00a0<strong>Barcelona<\/strong>\u00a0and you are interested in buying cryptocurrencies physically,\u00a0<strong>either paying in cash or by card<\/strong>, Bitnovo works so that you can do it from almost any location. You just need to be near a\u00a0<strong>Fnac store, Worten<\/strong>\u00a0or any of the more than\u00a0<strong>40,000 Bitnovo partner stores.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In them you can buy our cryptocurrency coupons. This is a very\u00a0<strong>simple<\/strong>\u00a0way to exchange your euros for cryptocurrencies, for this you just have to buy the coupon and then<strong>\u00a0redeem it<\/strong>\u00a0on our website or app. It is a very similar process to when we buy a\u00a0<strong>Netflix or Spotify<\/strong>\u00a0gift card.<\/p>\n<p>To understand it better, we will explain the process step by step:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">First you must go to the\u00a0<strong>store<\/strong>\u00a0closest to your location (you can find it on the map on our website or app). Among the locations you can access, for example, the<strong>\u00a0Fnac<\/strong>\u00a0located in C.C. Lilla, Avda. Diagonal, 557.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">As a second step\u00a0<strong>you must buy a Bitnovo coupon<\/strong>\u00a0for the amount in euros that you want (they can be from 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 euros).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">To buy it you can pay in<strong>\u00a0cash or by credit<\/strong>\u00a0card and you will receive the coupon with the code to be redeemed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Finally, you must enter our website or app,\u00a0<strong>redeem the coupon<\/strong>\u00a0for the cryptocurrency of your choice and send the funds to your wallet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another option you can take advantage of is our\u00a0<strong>cryptocurrency ATMs<\/strong>, where you can exchange your\u00a0<strong>cash<\/strong>\u00a0for coupons. Once the cashier has issued the coupon, you can redeem it for cryptocurrencies on our website or app.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage of this process is that you do not need to go through the registration process and you can buy in cash.<\/p>\n<div id=\"image_776301242\" class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\">\n<div class=\"img-inner dark\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C%C3%B3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid-300x205.jpeg 300w\" alt=\"C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid\" width=\"768\" height=\"526\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid-300x205.jpeg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/C\u00f3mo-comprar-bitcoin-y-otras-criptomonedas-en-Madrid.jpeg\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_should_you_know_before_buying_cryptocurrencies\"><\/span><strong>What should you know before buying cryptocurrencies?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you go to buy cryptocurrencies in Bitnovo is essential that you know one of our main\u00a0<strong>advantages<\/strong>\u00a0and that is that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/why-do-we-choose-not-to-be-a-cryptocurrency-custodian\/\">we are not custodians of cryptocurrencies<\/a>. This means that we\u00a0<strong>will never store your funds<\/strong>, so you will be the sole and absolute owner of them. Therefore, you need to have your own wallet or digital\u00a0<strong>wallet<\/strong>\u00a0where we will send you the cryptocurrencies you have purchased in Bitnovo.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_a_wallet\"><\/span>What is a wallet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitnovo.com\/blog\/en\/what-bitcoin-wallet-is\/\">wallet<\/a>\u00a0is a\u00a0<strong>digital wallet where we will store, manage and save our cryptocurrencies<\/strong>. In more technical terms, it is a software that allows us to\u00a0<strong>access the blockchains<\/strong>\u00a0of each cryptocurrency respectively. However, we must know this concept well before taking the big step.<\/p>\n<p>A wallet offers us the possibility to\u00a0<strong>check<\/strong>\u00a0our account\u00a0<strong>balance<\/strong>\u00a0at any time,<strong>\u00a0receive<\/strong>\u00a0currencies,\u00a0<strong>send<\/strong>\u00a0currencies, among other options. But most importantly, it allows us to be the sole\u00a0<strong>owners<\/strong>\u00a0of our cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Wallets exist because cryptocurrencies technically exist as records of transactions contained within a blockchain that operates through the connection between nodes around the world.\u00a0<strong>Wallets<\/strong>\u00a0provide us with a\u00a0<strong>public<\/strong>\u00a0key and a<strong>\u00a0private<\/strong>\u00a0key that give us ownership and rights to our cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Before creating a wallet we must know the different devices and formats to store our cryptocurrencies. Once we know them, the next step is to choose the format that best suits us according to its\u00a0<strong>characteristics<\/strong>. Most users tend to choose\u00a0<strong>web wallets<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>and mobile apps<\/strong>. Below we will tell you the differences between them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Web wallet<\/b>: In this case your funds will be under the custody of an exchange and will not really be yours until you send them to your own wallet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mobile application:\u00a0<\/b>Here the funds will be yours and it is one of the most practical options. You can download the app to your mobile or tablet to carry the wallet with you at all times and manage your cryptocurrencies at all times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Desktop wallet<\/b>: Similar to the mobile application but through computer software.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Paper or USB memory:<\/b>\u00a0There is also the possibility of printing the code of your wallet in paper format or saving it in a USB memory. This way our cryptocurrencies will always be safe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Hardware Wallet<\/b>: This is the option that best combines security and simplicity. They are devices specifically designed to store cryptocurrencies securely and their cost is higher than the previous options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"share_your_wallet_address\"><\/span>Share your wallet address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When we have created our\u00a0<strong>wallet-account<\/strong>, we will have the possibility to access our address also known as\u00a0<strong>public key<\/strong>. This will be your wallet \u201ccode\u201d that you will use to receive transfers and cryptocurrency remittances. Something like the \u201c<strong>IBAN<\/strong>\u201d of our bank account. The public key can be shared with any user who intends to send us cryptocurrencies, however, the\u00a0<strong>private key<\/strong>\u00a0should not be shared with anyone, because once someone has it, they can access our cryptocurrencies and manage them as they wish.<\/p>\n<p>The wallet address can be given in<strong>\u00a0two different ways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Alphanumeric code:\u00a0<\/b>This is a fragment composed of letters and numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>QR Code:\u00a0<\/b>This is the dot matrix or barcode where the information with the address of our wallet is represented.
