Three stops. Stay on this site. No real money. Steps 1 and 2 work as a guest. Step 3 asks for a free account so we can save a practice balance — it never blocks Learn or the sandbox.

  1. Wallets and keys

    Learn that a wallet holds keys, not coins. Never share a seed.

How the 10-minute path works

Three steps. Stay on the site the whole time. No real money.

1. Read wallets

Keys vs coins, and why nobody legitimate asks for a seed. About three minutes.

2. Use the sandbox

Create fake keys, receive toy units, sign a send. No account needed.

3. Paper trade

Buy or sell practice units. Create a free account at this step if you are a guest.

Practice here first

Stay on BitBuddy until the words feel familiar.

BitBuddy is paper and educational. The wallet, quotes, and yield you see here are a classroom — not a brokerage, not an exchange, and not a real order ticket.

When you are ready for a real exchange

That step is optional, separate, and yours.

Opening an account somewhere else is a different decision. If BitBuddy later shows an outbound exchange link, it will be an affiliate relationship: we may earn a commission if you sign up. There is no obligation to click or join. It is not advice. Do your own research.

Exchange checklist first

No exchange partner is linked yet. When one is added, the labeled affiliate URL will appear here.
