How to get started in Crytpo Currency in 2021!
The first thing to get started in Crypto in 2021 is to get a wallet set up to receive and send your crypto.
At Coinbase you can easily set up a wallet for multiple crypto coins that you can link to your bank account and Paypal. (Paypal offers instant transfers to coinbase) A cryptocurrency wallet is a device, program or service that stores the public and/or private keys for access to your Crypto. LINK
Once you have an account setup at Coinbase, they also offer a program to introduce you to Crypto currency. Currently you can earn up to 121 USD of Crypto. Earn crypto while learning about crypto. Discover how specific cryptocurrencies work and get a few dollars or more of each crypto to try out for yourself.
When completing the videos and learning about Crypto, the coins are deposited automatically to your Coinbase wallet. You can instantly transfer these to any other currency Coinbase offers, transfer to cash and send to your bank or start trading!
How to SEND and RECEIVE
Once you have a bit of crypto, you will want to send or receive from outside sources. On Coinbase website, click Portfolio at the top of the screen. A page listing all of your coins and assets will pop up. Click the coin you want to send or receive with. On the right side of the specific coin page there is a send and receive tab, click and it will show the information. To send you enter a Coinbase user email or that specific coins address you are sending to, enter and amount and send. To receive, click the receive tab, copy your receiving address and put that into the site or program you are sending from. There are a few crypto coins that require a memo or note as well, if this is required, you will see it with the address on the receive tab. Be sure to add the note correct or the money will not land where you are sending it!
Thats it! This is just a brief primer on getting setup with Coinbase and earning your first bit of Crypto. The Earn program occasionally adds more free coins to its program. These past few months they have added 3 new coins to it!
Look forward to a great year with Crypto in 2021!
