Alert for Cryptocurrency Beginners!

If you are starting in the world of cryptocurrencies, it is important to understand the difference between buying Bitcoin (BTC) directly on the exchange and investing indirectly through cryptocurrency investment funds.

When you buy BTC directly on an exchange, such as Binance, Mercado Bitcoin, or Coinbase, you are the actual owner of the cryptocurrency. This means you can transfer it, store it in a digital wallet, or even sell it whenever you want. Here, you have more control — but also more responsibility for security and custody.

On the other hand, when you invest in cryptocurrency investment funds (like those available through traditional brokers), you do not own the BTC directly. You are buying a share of a fund that invests in cryptocurrency, with professional management, but also with fees and less freedom of movement.

Each method has its pros and cons, but it is essential to know what you are investing in. Understand the risks, read the fund's rules, and if you choose the exchange, learn how to protect your assets!
