To use Bitcoin (BTC), follow these steps:
1. **Get a wallet**: Download a digital wallet (like Electrum, Trust Wallet, or Exodus) to store and manage your BTC.
2. **Get Bitcoin**: Buy them on exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken) with fiat money, receive them as payment, or exchange for goods/services.
3. **Send/Receive BTC**: Use unique addresses (alphanumeric codes) for transfers. To send, enter the recipient's address and confirm. To receive, share your address or QR code.
4. **Secure transactions**: Always verify addresses, as transactions are irreversible. Use appropriate fees to expedite confirmations on the blockchain.
5. **Common uses**:
- Purchases at stores that accept BTC.
- Investment (hold or trading).

6. **Security**: Enable two-factor authentication (2FA), keep your private key offline, and avoid sharing it.
Bitcoin operates without banks, but its value is volatile. Educate yourself before using it.
