FAQs

  1. Are there any risks involved?
    Do your due diligence before giving up your credit card details to any online exchange. Just because a company has a good exchange rate for LTC to BTC, for example, does not mean you should use the exchange without digging into it first.
  1. What is the benefit of purchasing BTC with your credit card?
    It is super fast and extremely easy to purchase Bitcoin. Instead of mining Bitcoin or looking around for a crypto converter, you can easily buy Bitcoin instantly. This is not to say that if you have other coins like ETH, you should not go for the conversion with a ETH to BTC converter but direct purchase allows non-technical buyers to start investing almost immediately.
  1. Can you buy Bitcoin with an anonymous credit card?
    This is illegal and you will not be able to do so because of the verification process.
