To store (and trade) your Bitcoins online, you need a specific and encrypted wallet, a place where your Bitcoins are safe. Another way to see this is like a PayPal account. Place where you trade and store your money online.

It can be even described as a bank account that, instead of currencies, it stores Bitcoins – which I think is a lovely way to relate them. The most common solution for a Bitcoin wallet address is Blockchain.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Opening an account on Blockchain is totally free. It is a completely safe and legal feature that enables the transfer of Bitcoins from one account to another. To find out more about Blockchain, visit their official website at Blockchain.info or read what Wikipedia has to say about them.

Step #1

Visit Their Website

Visit their official website at Blockchain.com and click on the “Get a free wallet” to start with the process.

After the redesign, a "Sign-up" button appeared on their homepage, making it easier for people to navigate.

Step #2

Complete Registration Form

Provide email and password. Use email you have everyday access to. You will need it for security reasons. Password must be strong and kept safe.

It's a good habit to have your password store in a file on your computer. Even better, write it down on paper.

Step #3

Verify E-mail Address

Get started with Blockchain. Verify the email associated with the Blockchain account. It’s required to send and receive funds. After that, click on the Receive button to activate your unique BTC Wallet Address.

It’s important to remember where you can find your wallet address. This is the actual address you will need if want to start using the Bitcoin Generator Tool.

Step #4

Secure Your Account

Adding security to your account is a crucial step in the process. Many hackers will try to access your account and steal data and funds. Bitcoins are vulnerable and untraceable on that matter.

Visit Blockchain “Security Center” to increase the security of your account. Start by creating a “Backup Phrase” and keep it somewhere safe and secure. In case you forgot your password account, create the “Password Hint”, too.

Final Words

Until now, I hope you verified your email, noted your backup phrase and saved your password hint. Now, click “Link Mobile” and enter your mobile number.

It’s very important to link a mobile device to your account. It will ease the process of payment and receive payments. Also, enables you to add the “2-Step” verification, making your account safe enough. Don’t forget to finish the Security Level 3, by disabling Tor IP addresses to access your account.
