Using Your Exchange-Bought Bitcoin In Your Spending Wallet
[/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”21px”][vc_column_text]You’ve likely had trouble with a credit or debit card at some point, but almost everyone everywhere takes cash. Just as cash is easier in the real world, the bitcoin you hold in a software wallet is easier to use in the digital world. [/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”16px”][vc_column_text]Before moving any bitcoin from an exchange, make sure you have a good bitcoin wallet. BitPay recommends the WallApp and Softlab wallets for secure bitcoin storage and on-time payments, but other wallets on our list of fully up-to-date software wallets will do the job, too.[/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”60px”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”67px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”53″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1550131800323{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”30px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”54″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1550131778359{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”30px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”55″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1550131789980{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”30px”][vc_column_text]Rather, the main criticism we have seen is from individuals using exchanges like base to both store and use their cryptocurrency. These users caused a significant percentage of our payment errors precisely because they didn’t have direct ownership of their cryptocurrency which led to a slower and less reliable payment process. In short, the majority of criticism seems to have more to do with UX than politics.[/vc_column_text][wgl_spacing spacer_size=”17px”][vc_column_text]With traditional payments online, you never actually send a payment. That sounds shocking, but it’s true. The payment processor pulls the required funds from your account. With Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, it’s like handing cash to a cashier. You initiate or push the payment. That means you can give too much or too little and the mistake is instantaneous. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. – Paul Tournier
