What's XBT?
XBT is a type of digital money that exists only online. Imagine it like a special kind of game token you can use to play games or buy things in the game world. XBT was created to make sending money to anyone, anywhere, fast and easy without needing a bank. It helps solve the problem of slow and expensive money transfers by using a technology called blockchain, which is like a big, shared notebook everyone can see but no one can change.
How can I buy XBT?
1) Visit OKX and create an account by providing your email and setting a password. 2) Complete identity verification by uploading a government-issued ID. 3) Fund your account using a bank transfer, credit card, or debit card. 4) Once your account is funded, go to the 'Buy Crypto' section. 5) Select XBT, enter the amount you wish to purchase, and confirm the transaction. 6) Your XBT will appear in your OKX wallet once the purchase is complete.
Why do people buy XBT?
People buy XBT because it allows them to send money quickly and securely across the globe. It's used in various online services and can be a way to participate in the growing digital economy. XBT is also part of a larger ecosystem where it can be used for transactions, smart contracts, and decentralized applications. However, it's important to understand that its value can change, and it's not guaranteed to be accepted everywhere.
Things to know before buying XBT in the United States
In the United States, cryptocurrencies like XBT are legal but regulated. You must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks when buying XBT. This means providing identification and personal information. Cryptocurrencies are subject to taxes, and you may need to report gains or losses on your tax return. It's important to keep records of your transactions for tax purposes.
What are other ways to own XBT?
You can obtain XBT without buying it by participating in airdrops, where free tokens are distributed to users. Some platforms offer Learn-and-Earn programs, rewarding you with XBT for completing educational tasks. You can also earn XBT by staking, which involves holding and supporting the network, or by providing liquidity to certain platforms. These methods require effort and understanding of the risks involved, such as market volatility.
How can I store my XBT?
To keep your XBT safe, you can use a custodial wallet, where a service like OKX holds your XBT for you, or a non-custodial wallet, where you control your XBT. Hot wallets are online and convenient but less secure, while cold wallets are offline and more secure. Always back up your wallet and keep your recovery phrase safe. Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication to protect your account from unauthorized access.
