Step 1: Choose and Download a Bitcoin Wallet

A Bitcoin wallet is a tool that allows you to send, receive, and store Bitcoin. There are different types of wallets:

• Mobile Wallets (Apps for Android & iOS) - Easy to use.
• Web Wallets (Online platforms) - Accessible from any device.
• Hardware Wallets (Physical devices) - Best for security but costs money.

For beginners, we recommend Trust Wallet, a free and secure mobile wallet.

Step 2: Create Your Bitcoin Wallet

1️⃣ Open Trust Wallet and click "Create a New Wallet."
