Note 1: You can’t buy bitcoin like a gift card. If you’re looking to acquire the digital currency you typically need to meet up with a local trader (Localbitcoins is a popular service) or go through your bank (either in person or via a mobile app like Circle).

ATMs could be considered a comparably simple and familiar way to acquire bitcoin. If you’re looking to dip your feet into the cryptocurrency waters, this may be a good jumping off point. Reminder that there are transaction fees for using bitcoin ATMs (the price of privacy).

Note 2: Though stated in the article, I’ll stress again that you don’t need to purchase a minimum of one bitcoin. At press time, one bitcoin was worth $726.36 but users are free to buy as little as one dollar’s worth of BTC.
