How to Buy Bitcoin

Bitcoin can be acquired through centralized exchanges such as Coinbase or tastytrade, as well as via decentralized wallets (self-custody).

The advantage of self-custody wallets over centralized exchanges is that they offer users direct control over their private keys or seed phrases.
