How to Buy Bitcoin: Apps, Exchanges, Cash & P2P
summary
Clear, actionable options: buy via an app that runs KYC but deposits to self-custodial wallets (private keys never leave the phone), use peer‑to‑peer marketplaces like the Vexel marketplace that link via social graphs, insert cash at Bitcoin ATMs (premiums reported up to ~7%), or use regulated brokers/banks offering custody, loans and yield plus institutional security (Swiss bunker examples) and fast onboarding (as quick as 12 hours). Expect trade‑offs: convenience and features vs privacy and higher fees; some providers advertise 0.1% fee (10 bips) for large trades.
