We know that not all of our fans are seasoned cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and that some of you are newcomers to the world of cryptocurrencies. Don’t worry we have you covered! This guide will walk you through obtaining your first Bitcoin or Ethereum, so that you’ll be able to participate in our TGE.
The easiest way of obtaining Bitcoin or Ethereum is by purchasing them online. There are various platforms and exchanges offering this service. You can buy Bitcoin or Ethereum using other cryptocurrencies or FIAT money as well.
Although the whole process may seem tedious and confusing, it’s not that hard. Actually, it’s as easy as performing a bank transaction. To get started you’ll need to create a cryptocurrency wallet that will hold your digital assets (simply put, it is a record of your Bitcoin/Ethereum transactions) and your private keys. It functions in the same way a bank account holds your transaction history. The wallet can have a number of forms, it can be a computer file, paper, hardware and mobile wallet or even an online wallet that can be created using one of many providers.
Afterwards you’ll get your Bitcoin or Ethereum address which you can share with other people as it functions in a similar manner to a bank account number. This number is used for sending cryptocurrencies from one user to another. The key difference is that these transactions, do not go through a middleman such as a bank or other payment system providers.
Once your wallet is ready, you can go ahead and easily transfer your money using an online service and purchase the amount of Bitcoin/Ethereum you desire. When you have the amount of Bitcoin or Ethereum you want to use, you are ready to register for our ALAX TGE and get ALX in exchange for your Bitcoin/Ethereum contribution.
