## How to get your first #bitcoin?
1. Do not sign up for any exchange or other service that asks for personal information and documents.
2. Actually don’t use bank transfers either.
3. Bitcoin ATMs are fine, but quite expensive.
4. Getting paid directly with bitcoin is perfect, but it took me about two years to talk someone into it.
## So what's the best way to do it?
Find a person who already has bitcoin and ask them to sell you some. I'm sure he can answer most of your questions and you'll learn a lot very quickly.
It can be someone who is mining, getting paid in bitcoin or simply early adopter who needs to eat.
Do it first with just a small amount through the Lightning Network - that means "no fees" in simple terms for you.
If your friend starts recommending something other than bitcoin, be very careful. And you'd better ditch it altogether.
If you don’t have anyone in your network have a look on vexl (npub1mft…rkl3)
