Buy Bitcoin with USD

People often think that cryptocurrencies are really difficult to work with, that one does not simply buy BTC with USD at a whim. You can read hundreds of articles that talk about exchanges, elaborate conversion schemes and other nonsense. In fact, it's simple. It can be done in a five simple steps: 

1. Create a wallet. It will take a couple of minutes, especially if you use a well-refined service likу Plark or Electrum.
2. Go to UTORG and fill in the express order form.
3. Checkout with any bank card from Visa/MasterCard.
4. Verify your identity in a few minutes.
5. Confirm payment and receive your coins.
   

It will take you less than half an hour, including the time the Bitcoin network will spend to transfer coins to you. And after the first purchase you can forget about Step 4 and buy bitcoin with USD even faster.

There are 4 types of wallets:

• Hardware wallets
• Software (either desktop or mobile) wallets
• Online wallets
• Paper wallets

Hardware wallets are devices that store your private keys. Your private key does not need to be exposed to the internet and potential hackers at any point, but you can still send funds from your wallet without much hassle. But such wallets, especially good ones, like Ledger or Trezor, are expensive.

Software (hot) wallets are the most common and vary in quality, security and functionality. However, there are a few proven ones that are both safe and easy to use. Namely, Electrum for desktop and https://utorg.app/ for mobile devices.

Online, or web wallets are just websites that allow you to send and receive funds. Therefore, all private keys are stored on the service side. Such wallets are convenient, but are not safe - don’t use them for any long-term storage or large sums.

Paper wallets are, basically, private keys printed out and hidden. These are almost obsolete.

As you can see, there is no perfect wallet; every one of them offers a compromise between security, functionality. Do your research to pick the best option. We are partisan to mobile hot wallets.

Let’s say that you don’t want to bother with a hardware wallet, and don’t trust any web wallet out there. Software wallets offer a nice balance, so let’s take one of the best of them, Plark, as an example.

It is really easy to create a Bitcoin wallet, using this service:

1. Find https://utorg.app in the store you use.
2. Download a desktop, iOS or Android version.
3. Install and launch the wallet.
4. Select Bitcoin in the list of supported currencies .
   

That’s it! Now you can copy and paste the address on the UTORG website and buy BTC with USD without any issues.

It’s all well and good, but why bother with crypto at all? Why would one convert USD to BTC? Well, there are a lot of good reasons to exchange at least some of your trusty bucks for Bitcoin. We’ll list only the major ones:

Bitcoin does not belong to anyone, but to everyone

There is no “owner of all Bitcoin”. It is completely decentralized. So there is no risk of someone’s singular decision screwing up the entire currency. Thus, Bitcoin does not depend on the whims of politicians. Unlike USD.

Bitcoin is easy to keep secure

Unlike fiat money, BTCs are much easier to keep secure. Basically, if you handle your cryptocurrency correctly - with care and common sense - no one can steal you digital coins.

Bitcoin benefits e-commerce

BTC is safer than “normal” e-money not only for ordinary users, but also for online payment platforms - there is no risk of double spending exploits, which are quite harmful for online commerce.

Bitcoin speeds up money transfers

Bitcoin is not the fastest crypto out there, but it is much, much faster, than bank transfers. At least when we are talking about international transfers and\or large amounts. Blockchain doesn’t care about borders and works the same whether you transfer the equivalent of $1 or $100,000.

Bitcoin transactions are cheap

It doesn’t matter how large your transaction is - the fee stays almost the same. So for large amounts Bitcoin is much cheaper than any bank transfer..

The global demand for Bitcoin grows

Given all of the above, it is obvious why Bitcoin is in high demand. Of course, sometimes Bitcoin suffers from sharp drops in price and demand goes down for a while as well, but in the long run - its growth is pretty impressive.

There will be only 21 million BTC

Unlike fiat currencies, the amount of Bitcoins that will ever exist is finite - 21 million. And it mined slower and slower every year. Thus, while demand will further increase, there will be a huge BTC deficit. 

Well, using cash is not practical, and wire transfers are way too slow and require a lot of paperwork. Also, nowadays almost everyone has a card. There are even programs that allow people unable to open a suitable bank account to get one.

Also we offer to buy bitcoin not only with EUR, NZD, GBP, CAD, AUD currencies of the English-speaking regions, but also others.

Here are some of the most popular things people do with BTC:

• Pay for goods and services online
• Transfer money with low expenses
• Engage in cryptocurrency trading
• HODL: hold BTC and wait for its price to go up enough
