Crypto Exchanges – How it works

Bitcoin exchanges offer the purchase of Bitcoin, the underlying asset. Here you can get real Bitcoins, but you are also responsible for their security. A secure Bitcoin Wallet is mandatory! Bitcoins should never be stored on an exchange, these are attractive targets and in 2018 alone, 800 million US dollars were stolen from Bitcoin exchanges.

Just storing them on a stock exchange can lead to total loss. At Bitcoin we have a saying: Not your wallet, not your Bitcoins. Find out about Bitcoin Wallets and choose a secure wallet.

Risk: Crypto currencies are high-risk and speculative assets, the price could drop to zero at any time. In the past, the Bitcoin price has already fallen six times by more than 40 percent, which could happen again at any time. A total loss is always possible with crypto currencies, the loss is (unlike Bitcoin CFDs) limited to your stake – of course only if you trade real Bitcoins and no derivatives.
