First steps: guides and news

This category is for anyone who has not bought anything yet and wants to understand what they are buying before they do it. These are the guides that explain what a cryptocurrency is, what sets Bitcoin apart from the rest, how it is stored and why the seed phrase matters more than the password. There are no rankings and no promises of returns here: there are concepts, in the order it makes sense to learn them.

If you would rather start with the practical side, the short route is the guide to buying cryptocurrency in Spain, which walks through the process step by step on a platform from the register of authorised providers. When a word means nothing to you, the cryptocurrency glossary defines it in a single sentence. And before you put in a euro, it is worth reading the guides below on the real risks of investing: not to frighten you, but so that the surprises are not surprises.
