Watch Bitcoin is for everyone by Hello Bitcoin.

Step 1. Get a Wallet

Aim: Make and backup a bitcoin wallet

Download Samourai Wallet for Android or Blue Wallet for iOS.
Make a new wallet and write down the words presented to you using pen and paper. These words act as a key to access your bitcoin.
Make another copy of these words (again, using pen and paper) and put them both somewhere hidden/safe in your house.
In the wallet, click receive and copy the address shown on screen, this can be done by clicking on the QR code.

Step 2. Buy some bitcoin

Aim: Get a small amount of bitcoin

Only buy a small amount of bitcoin to start (in a later step we will improve your backup redundancy).
These recommendations let you buy bitcoin quickly at the cost of reduced privacy, buying privately is detailed in a later step.
Once you have bought, find the ‘Withdraw Bitcoin’ button and paste your first bitcoin address from Step 1.
After requesting a withdrawal you must wait for the funds to appear in your wallet (Samourai or Blue Wallet) which should take \\\\< 24 hrs.
