Review review: How to get bitcoins.
What affects its indicator
We have already identified direct factors - the exchange rate and the total number of banknotes in circulation. But there are many indirect factors that influence the indicator. Among them:
- General interest in cryptocurrency. For example, Bitcoin is a confident leader because everyone has heard about it at least once, even those who have nothing to do with finance.
- User trust. Therefore, the capitalization of new currencies can remain low for a long time and increase gradually or in spurts as confidence grows.
- Scheme of behavior of large market players.
- News from analysts, opinions of famous experts about the potential of a particular project.
- The currency has modern innovations that can become a significant breakthrough in its field.
- Reaction to cryptocurrency by the media and government authorities. Implementation of laws restricting or encouraging digital money.
For example, in December 2022, when Bitcoin rose to its maximum, many reasons came together successfully: cryptocurrencies were legalized in Japan, SegWit2x was developed, and the media began to massively disseminate information. As a result, demand has skyrocketed to levels never seen before.
Bitcoin: number 1 in the cryptocurrency ranking
Bitcoin is the most famous cryptocurrency, first in the ranking by capitalization. It appeared back in 2009 using blockchain technology. The founder is a man named Satoshi Nakamota. It is possible that this is not one person, but a group of developers, and the name is fictitious, since no one has determined who is behind it.
Bitcoin has advantages that are inherent in other cryptocurrencies: decentralization, anonymity (?), transparency, small commissions and speed of transactions. Anonymity exists if the user has not publicly distributed his Bitcoin address anywhere. You can use it to track transactions with cryptocurrency (input, output), but no one will know who the owner is. In order to use bitcoins, you do not need to provide information about yourself.
In 2022, the value of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency against the dollar has increased more than 6 times since the beginning of the year, the profitability is more than 500%. All coins began to grow in the spring, after Japan officially recognized them as means of payment along with other currencies. Moreover, now the main volume of transactions with BTC is in pairs with the Japanese yen.
To create a wallet for Bitcoin, you can use the following well-known methods:
- Download the client program from bitcoin.org. There is a choice of several programs. Due to its popularity and reliability, many choose BitcoinCore, which provides access to an open-source network with a high level of security. To install, you need to specify the folder where the program will be installed. A prerequisite is that you have more than 150 GB of free space on your computer, since after launch the entire Bitcoin network blockchain is synchronized and downloaded.
To receive a Bitcoin address, you need to go to “File” - “Addresses to receive” - “New”. To copy it, select the line and click “Copy”. You can create an unlimited number of addresses: all of them will be valid, and you can send Bitcoin cryptocurrency to them.
We remind you that you need to make a backup copy after an operation or creation of a new address. There are two ways to do this.
The easiest way to make a backup is to go to “File” and select “Create a wallet backup.” Save the file called wallet; extension .dat, which is set automatically.
This will create wallet.dat - the most basic file. It is better to save it on a separate flash drive that is not used for other purposes.
The second way is to copy the wallet.dat file directly from the “Bitcoin” folder, which can be found by searching for files from the “Search” menu: just enter %appdata% and go to the “Roaming” folder.
Find the “Bitcoin” folder, go to it and find the wallet. Copy it and save it in a safe place (this procedure should be done periodically). If the program has been reinstalled, simply move the saved file to this folder.
In order to sell bitcoins to someone, you need to click “Send”, enter the recipient’s address, and set a commission.
- The second way to start using bitcoins is to register an account on a cryptocurrency exchange. The advantage of this method is that you no longer need to download the entire blockchain network onto your computer, so in a few minutes you can already buy and transfer bitcoins to the provided address.
Let's consider this process using the example of one of the exchanges - EXMO. Registration consists of entering your real email address and password and receiving a confirmation email.
To receive a Bitcoin address, you need to go to the “Wallet” section and click “Top up” next to the selected cryptocurrency.
As you can see, the minimum transfer amount is 0.0001 BTC, and the commission is 0%.
- The third way to create a wallet is to register on online services, for example: Blockchain, Matbea. There is no need to download the blockchain network, which saves time. Registration should also not take much time.
To enter your wallet on the blockchain.com website, you need to enter the ID number that you received during registration in an email and a password.
Then, going to your wallet, go to the “Receive” section, where in a new window you will see the address of the Bitcoin wallet on this service.

How to buy Bitcoin cryptocurrency
The fastest way to get bitcoins is to use e-currency exchangers. There are a huge number of them on the Internet, so the main thing is to choose a reliable and safe one.
The process of buying bitcoins itself consists of the following steps:
- Payment with cryptocurrency and transfer of money to the exchanger’s account.
- Transfer of Bitcoin by the exchanger to the address that was specified after receipt of money.
Everything is very simple and fast. As soon as the operation is confirmed on the network, bitcoins will be credited to the wallet.
We recommend a reliable exchanger - ProstoCash. He works without breaks and weekends. After registration there is a discount of 0.05%.
Feedback from monitoring is positive:
The Bitcoin exchanger carries out exchanges in the most popular directions: Yandex.Money, Sberbank, Qiwi, VTB 24, AdvaCash, Perfect Money, Payeer, Visa and MasterCard cards; codes of cryptocurrency exchanges EXMO, Livecoin, WEX and other options.
To buy cryptocurrency, you need to fill out a form indicating the currency you are giving and receiving. In our example, exchange Qiwi for Bitcoin:
Then indicate the remaining details of the operation: wallet number, email address and address for receiving bitcoins.
The second way to buy bitcoins for rubles is through exchanges. The registration process on the EXMO exchange, where you can sell and exchange cryptocurrency, was described above.
You need to go to the EXMO website and top up your account balance in the “Wallet” section. You can deposit cryptocurrency or top up your account with regular money (fiat).
On the EXMO exchange you can either trade or simply exchange fiat money for cryptocurrency. For example, exchanging bitcoins for rubles:
Ethereum is the second cryptocurrency in the ranking
Ethereum (ETH) is the second main cryptocurrency in the ranking. The total capitalization is more than 29 billion US dollars and ranks second in the ranking after Bitcoin. The emission of ether coins is not limited; today there are more than 95 million coins in circulation. Price as of October 30: 1 ETH = $300.
The value of the coin has increased 30 times since the beginning of 2022 (from $10 to $300 or more), which is about a 3000% return.
The Ethereum platform hosts most ICOs (initial coin offerings). The main cryptocurrencies in this process are Ethereum and Bitcoin, which has a positive effect on the growth of the coin’s price.
How to create a wallet for Ethereum?
- Download the EthereumWallet or Mist program from the official website ethereum.org or find all versions on the github website and download the latest release in the “Downloads” section (today it is 0.9.2).
Immediately after launch, the download of the entire blockchain (transaction history) for all the years of the network’s existence will begin. The download volume, as with the BitcoinCore program, is very significant, the entire blockchain takes up more than 100 GB. Therefore, the process of synchronizing with the Ethereum network will take a very long time.
- The second way is to create a wallet on the online services myetherwallet.com or blockchain.com without having to download the blockchain.
Blockchain was discussed above: you can store both Ethereum and Bitcoin on the site. To receive the address, just click “Ether” - “Receive”. The address will consist of numbers and symbols, and will begin with 0x.
In the “Exchange” section you can exchange cryptocurrencies with each other.
More details in the article: Ethereum wallet
- The third method, universal for all cryptocurrencies, is creating a wallet on the exchange. You need to register on a crypto exchange, for example, exmo.me, go to the “Wallet” tab, select ETH and click “Top up”. On this exchange you can buy, sell and exchange cryptocurrency.
Total capitalization of the crypto market
Let's start by defining the overall market capitalization. This is the total cost of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Neo and all other trading crypto assets. Today it is equal to $176,72,394,693, Bitcoin dominance is 54.51%. This means that more than half of all funds invested by users are invested in Bitcoin.
Real-time information on cryptocurrency capitalization:
- Market Capitalization: $2,218.11 B
- 24H Volume: $141.57 B
- BTC Dominance: 37.58%
Bitcoin Dominance Index
Bitcoin Dominance Index (BTC Dominance) is the percentage of the total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market that Bitcoin currently occupies. You may have seen this percentage on Coinmarketcap but haven't thought about what it means. But in fact, this is a very important indicator of the state of the entire crypto market. Knowing how to use it offers endless possibilities.
How does this information affect the market?
Until 2016, BTC was very dominant in relation to altcoins, its share reached 90%. But then it began to decline, and altcoins rapidly increased in popularity. Understanding downward and upward trends, their sequence and cyclicality, analysts predict the future behavior of cryptocurrencies. We can say that all forecasting is based on this.
How to buy Ethereum
Just like when buying Bitcoin, in order to purchase Ethereum, you need to use a cryptocurrency exchange or exchange.
In the exchanger, you need to select the direction of exchange, the amount, and indicate the wallet address to receive ether.
For example, in the ProstoCash exchanger you can buy Ethereum for rubles, electronic money - Yandex, Qiwi, for other cryptocurrencies, from a Visa and MasterCard of any Russian bank and in many other ways.
You must carefully enter all other data and the Ethereum wallet address:
In the article from the cryptocurrency rating, we examined in detail only Bitcoin and Ethereum. The review will be updated soon.
