Hello Mary, You have some different ways to spend bitcoin. There are some stores, although few, that accept bitcoin as a means of payment. Otherwise you need to exchange bitcoin to fiat. There are two options here, either you do it yourself at an exchange or you order a crypto card that you can pay with in stores. With a crypto card, your bitcoins are automatically exchanged into your local currency when you pay. This is usually for a higher fee, so we recommend to use an exchange, you can compare exchanges here. / CryptoRunner Team There are some stores that accept bitcoin as payment method.

Hello Chesky, I haven't tested Safepal so I can't recommend that wallet. However, Binance is an exchange with an online wallet. This is not a wallet intended to use as storage of your bitcoin or cryptocurrency. An online wallet is not as secure as a hardware wallet. However, I would not worry about having small amounts on Binance. It's good to start with a small amount and learn how buying/selling works. / CryptoRunner Team

Hello Sonya, I haven't heard of that wallet. However, when searching for that it seems to be an app for buying and selling crypto. Not a wallet intended to secure and store your crypto. Sure you can user their built-in online wallet. But it will not be as secure. / CryptoRunner Team

Hello Skymark, Thanks for your question. We have not included every wallet in this guide, there are too many of them. Blockchain wallet is from my experience a good online wallet to use. However, this is not as safe as an hardware wallet like Ledger. In other words, for smaller amounts I would not worry about using Blockchain wallet. / CryptoRunner Team

Hello Elizabeth, Thanks for your comment. The minimum amount of Bitcoin is 0.00000001 BTC which is of today is worth 0.0002773122 USD. In other words, there will be no problem to start with 50 dollars. Just make sure to not choose an exchange that has a minimum deposit over that amount. You can see that and find an exchange in our comparison table here: https://cryptorunner.com/compare-exchanges/ Regarding the best bitcoin wallet. If you're buying under $1,000 I would recommend keeping them on the exchange. For larger amounts, I would recommend a bitcoin hardware wallet. / CryptoRunner Team

Hello Isioma, Thanks for your comment. There is no minimum amount needed to start trading bitcoin. However, exchanges usually have a minimum first deposit, around 200 dollars is normal. This is because smaller sums will not be able to generate any meaningful return. I recommend following our bitcoin buying guide to get started. Let us know if you have any other questions! / CryptoRunner Team
