New To Bitcoin? Welcome! Here’s How To Take Those First Steps by bitcoiner01: 8:42pm On Dec 04, 2017
Bitcoin, Like Anything New, is Confusing at First

Four years into its popular adoption, even a well-regarded economist like Paul Krugman thought little of the Internet’s potential, predicting, “The growth of the Internet will slow drastically,” he wrote, “most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

It’s fair to look back and acknowledge not everyone fully appreciates a technology at the time of its inception or early years.New To Bitcoin? Welcome! Here’s How To Take Those First Steps

The same is true for Bitcoin, or will be.

Mainstream accounts of Bitcoin range from terrifying criminal portrayals to a speculative mania rarely seen. While
some of that is for sure going-on, the vast majority of Bitcoiners are people interested in a reliable payment
system and a money that holds its value (or better).

Leave the hype behind, both good and bad, and instead consider the basics of Bitcoin as a network and bitcoin
as a money.

Install a Wallet on Your Phone or Computer

Think of it like electronic mail, email. You don’t really understand how it works either, but you’ve used it in some fairly serious communications. Same might said of social media: you have an appreciation of its power because you’ve experienced it. To really get bitcoin, you have to use it, experience it in some practical way. The first thing to do is download a wallet, a piece of software to install on your smartphone or home computer. Continuing with the email analogy, you’re setting up your email address, but for money.
I am biased, of course, and believe ZuPago wallet is the easiest to use, but there are many available options. For beginners, ours is ideal. download the ZuPago Wallet App from the google play store following this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zupagope
