Bitcoin for Individuals - Bitcoin (bitcoin.org)
Bitcoin is the simplest way to exchange money at very low cost.

ico_mobile.svgMobile payments made easy


Bitcoin on mobiles allows you to pay with a simple two step
scan-and-pay. No need to sign up, swipe your card, type a PIN, or sign
anything. All you need to receive Bitcoin payments is to display the QR
code in your Bitcoin wallet app and let your friend scan your mobile, or
touch the two phones together (using NFC radio technology).

ico_lock.svgSecurity and control over your money


Bitcoin transactions are secured by military grade cryptography.
Nobody can charge you money or make a payment on your behalf. So long as
you take the required steps to protect your wallet, Bitcoin can give you control over your money and a strong level of protection against many types of fraud.

Just like with email, you don't need to ask your family to use the
same software or the same service providers. Just let them stick to
their own favorites. No problem there; they are all compatible as they
use the same open technology. The Bitcoin network never sleeps, even on
holidays!

ico_international.svgFast international payments


Sending bitcoins across borders is as easy as sending them across the
street. There are no banks to make you wait three business days, no
extra fees for making an international transfer, and no special
limitations on the minimum or maximum amount you can send.


ico_lowfee.svgChoose your own fees


There is no fee to receive bitcoins, and many wallets let you control
how large a fee to pay when spending. Most wallets have reasonable
default fees, and higher fees can encourage faster confirmation
of your transactions. Fees are unrelated to the amount transferred, so
it's possible to send 100,000 bitcoins for the same fee it costs to send
1 bitcoin.


ico_anon.svgProtect your identity


With Bitcoin, there is no credit card number that some malicious
actor can collect in order to impersonate you. In fact, it is even
possible to send a payment without revealing your identity, almost like
with physical money. You should however take note that some effort can
be required to protect your privacy.
