Fortunately, it&#8217;s pretty easy to get started, and it does not take long either.<\/p>\n<p>When you buy cryptocurrency, it is important to think about which platform (marketplace) you should choose, payment methods and any costs.<\/p>\n<p>How to buy cryptocurrency? In this guide, we will walk you through the process, step by step.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Find a platform for buying cryptocurrency<\/h2>\n<p>The first step towards being able to buy cryptocurrency is to find a suitable trading platform &#8211; also known as a marketplace or trading platform. There are a number of different options, but it is recommended to choose a platform that is registered with the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority.<\/p>\n<p>Platforms such as Binance are among those that are not recommended by the Norwegian authorities, because the platform has previously engaged in the sale of cryptocurrencies without being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finanstilsynet.no\/virksomhetsregisteret\/\">registered with Finanstilsynet<\/a> .<\/p>\n[etoro]\n<p>The platform you choose should be user-friendly and intuitive. Among the most popular platforms Norwegians use to buy cryptocurrency, we find the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>[eafl id=&#8221;2945&#8243; name=&#8221;Etoro&#8221; text=&#8221;eToro&#8221;].<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/go\/binance\/\">Binance<\/a> .<\/li>\n<li>Nordnet.<\/li>\n<li>Firi (formerly MiraiEx).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"KHstsu1auB\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/hva-skjedde-med-kryptoborsen-binance-i-norge\/\">Hva skjedde med kryptob\u00f8rsen Binance i Norge?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&laquo;Hva skjedde med kryptob\u00f8rsen Binance i Norge?&raquo; &#8212; Kryptovaluta.info\" src=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/hva-skjedde-med-kryptoborsen-binance-i-norge\/embed\/#?secret=3oMwLwjUzK#?secret=KHstsu1auB\" data-secret=\"KHstsu1auB\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Create user account<\/h2>\n<p>The next step is to register with the relevant trading platform, by creating a user account. If you choose eToro, for example, you just need to click on the &#8220;Start trading&#8221; button. You can then enter basic information about, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Username.<\/li>\n<li>E-mail address.<\/li>\n<li>Password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_7551\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7551\" class=\"wp-image-7551 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kjope-bitcoin-etoro-1024x585.jpg\" alt=\"Buy Bitcoin Etoro\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kjope-bitcoin-etoro-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kjope-bitcoin-etoro-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kjope-bitcoin-etoro-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kjope-bitcoin-etoro-1536x878.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/kjope-bitcoin-etoro-2048x1171.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buy Bitcoin easily at Etoro.

Creating a user account with a trading platform usually takes no more than a minute or two, and is very simple.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that you usually need to verify your email address. You will receive a verification message at the email address you provided. You confirm the verification by clicking on the link in the email. Remember that it is not possible to buy cryptocurrency until the account has been verified.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Customize user profile<\/h2>\n<p>After registering, it is important to customize and complete the user profile. If you have chosen eToro, you do this by clicking on \u00abComplete profile\u00bb, a button you will find at the top left of the website.<\/p>\n<p>To complete your user profile, you must, among other things, answer various questions. These questions must be answered because the legislation in Great Britain requires that information be provided on the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the origin of the money you are going to trade for (is it, for example, wage income or money you have earned on investments?)<\/li>\n<li>Whether you as a user have traded cryptocurrency on previous occasions<\/li>\n<li>That you understand the risk involved in buying cryptocurrency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 4: Make a deposit<\/h2>\n<p>In order to be able to buy cryptocurrency, you also have to make a deposit of money. This money is then used to pay for the cryptocurrency. With most trading platforms, you can choose between secure and well-known payment solutions, such as these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We saw.<\/li>\n<li>Maestro.<\/li>\n<li>MasterCard.<\/li>\n<li>Skrill.<\/li>\n<li>Bank transfer.<\/li>\n<li>PayPal.<\/li>\n<li>Neteller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"read-more-custom-link\"><span class=\"more\">also read<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kryptovaluta.info\/en\/buy-cryptocurrency-with-a-bank-card\/\">Buy cryptocurrency with a bank card<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Most deposits are transferred directly, but this may depend somewhat on the payment method. For fast transfers, e-wallets can be a good choice.<\/p>\n<p>Also note that different trading platforms may operate with different deposit limits. As a rule, the lower deposit limit is around NOK 400.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Buy cryptocurrency<\/h2>\n<p>How to buy cryptocurrency? Once you have made a deposit with money you can start trading. Find out which cryptocurrency you want to buy, whether it is Ethereum, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple or Stellar.

The most common is that you can choose between options and futures contracts, both of which are so-called derivatives.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Options<\/strong> : You have the right to buy \/ sell your cryptocurrency in the future, and have a contract with a specific expiration date (known as Time Decay Factor)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Futures<\/strong> : Similar to options, but does not have a given expiration date. You can buy both short and long contracts. It is possible to sell out at the desired time. If you choose futures, you can &#8220;gear&#8221; (ie increase) the investment, with increased risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"read-more-custom-link\"><span class=\"more\">Wikipedia<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/no.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Opsjon\">Read a little more about options here<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<h2>How to buy cryptocurrency in the smartest way possible?<\/h2>\n<p>If you have not purchased cryptocurrency before, the whole process may seem a bit extensive or difficult.
