What You’ll Need

Before starting, make sure you have:

Smartphone or computer with internet
Payment method (credit card, bank account, or local payment)
Email address for communication
15-30 minutes to complete the process

Step 1: Download Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet is a popular, secure app for buying and storing Bitcoin.

Download the App

Visit Trust Wallet’s official website and choose your device:

  • 📱 iPhone: Download from App Store
  • 📱 Android: Download from Google Play Store
  • 💻 Desktop: Install Chrome extension

Set Up Your Wallet

  1. Install and open the app
  2. Select “Create a new wallet”
  3. Choose “Secret phrase” as wallet type
  4. 🚨 CRITICAL: Backup your secret phrase to iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive (Android)

⚠️ WARNING: Your secret phrase is like the master key to your wallet. NEVER share it with anyone. This is the ONLY way to recover your wallet if you lose your phone.

Step 2: Buy Bitcoin

In Trust Wallet, tap the “Buy” button.

Choose Bitcoin

Select BTC (Bitcoin) from the cryptocurrency list.

Select Payment Method

Choose how you want to pay:

  • 💳 Credit/Debit Card - Most common
  • 🏦 Bank Transfer - Usually cheaper fees
  • 🌍 Local payment methods - Varies by country

Choose Provider

Trust Wallet will show you different providers. MoonPay is usually the most reliable and cost-effective.

💡 Tip: If one provider doesn’t work, try another. If 2-3 providers fail, your bank might be blocking crypto purchases (call them to allow it).

Complete Your Purchase

  1. Follow the provider’s steps to complete your purchase
  2. Wait a few minutes for Bitcoin to appear in your wallet
  3. Take a screenshot of your successful purchase

Step 4: Send Your Bitcoin Payment

Open Trust Wallet

Find and tap on Bitcoin (BTC) in your wallet.

Start Transfer

Tap the “Send” button.

Enter Payment Address

You have two options:

  1. 📱 Scan QR code (easiest) - Use your phone camera
  2. 📋 Copy/paste address - Type or paste the Bitcoin address

⚠️ CRITICAL: Verify Address

Before sending, always check:

  • First 5 characters of the address match
  • Last 5 characters of the address match
  • Total amount is correct

🚨 DANGER: Sending to wrong address = permanent loss of money. Always double-check!

Send Payment

  1. Review all details carefully
  2. Check the network fee (Bitcoin transaction cost)
  3. Confirm and send the transaction
  4. Save transaction ID for your records

Understanding Bitcoin Fees

When you send Bitcoin, you’ll see a “network fee”:

  • 💰 What it is: Cost to process transaction on the Bitcoin network
  • 💸 Who gets it: Bitcoin miners (not us)
  • ⏰ Why it varies: Based on network traffic (like highway tolls during rush hour)
  • 📊 Typical range: $1-10 USD depending on network congestion

💡 Tip: Fees are usually lower during weekends and off-peak hours.
