📘 Buying guide: How to get Bitcoins (BTC)?

1. Choose an exchange platform (The “Bureau de Change”)

To obtain Bitcoins with your Canadian Dollars (CAD), you must use a trusted platform. Here are the most used references in Canada:

• Coinbase - User-friendly and secure, ideal for beginners.
• Binance - Offers a wide range of cryptocurrencies and competitive fees.
• Kraken - Known for its security and advanced trading features.
• Bitbuy - A Canadian platform that offers easy CAD to BTC transactions.
• Shakepay - A peer-to-peer platform that allows you to buy Bitcoins directly from other users in Canada.

2. Quick purchase procedure

Most of these platforms follow the same process:

• 1. Registration: Create your account and validate your identity (Canadian law requires).
• 2. Deposit: Send funds (CAD) via Interac e-Transfer (often completed in under 30 minutes).
• 3. Conversion: Exchange your CAD for Bitcoin (BTC) for the amount corresponding to your bill.

3. Make payment

Once your Bitcoins are displayed on your application:

• 1. Open the “Send” or “Withdraw” option in your crypto app.
• 2. Scan the QR Code displayed on our payment page or copy and paste the Bitcoin address (bc1q...).
• 3. Indicate the exact amount in BTC (ex: 0.0015 BTC) as indicated on our site.
• 4. Confirm sending.

Important Note: The Bitcoin network generally requires 10-20 minutes to confirm a transaction. Keep our payment page open; it will update automatically as soon as funds are detected.

💡 Safety Tips

• Check the address: Always compare the first 4 and last 4 characters of the copied address with the one displayed on your screen.
