Apne wallet mein nikaalo

Bitcoin ko exchange pe zarurat se zyada der mat rakho.

  1. Complete KYC only on reputable exchanges — verify the app URL carefully.
  2. Buy a small test amount first (₹500–₹1000) before larger purchases.
  3. Open your wallet → Receive → copy your Bitcoin address (starts with bc1…).
  4. On the exchange, choose Withdraw → paste your address → double-check every character.
  5. Wait for network confirmation. Your bitcoin is yours when it appears in your wallet.
  6. Save records: buy date, INR paid, fees, TDS — keep them for your Chartered Accountant.
