How to Buy Bitcoin in Canada

You most certainly have heard a lot about rising prices in Canada and elsewhere due to inflation. The world is heading towards uncertain times and our money is being put into question.

Historically, people have converted whatever wealth they had into hard assets, such as gold. Nowadays, this is still commonplace, but it feels a little outdated and unpractical for some.

Looking at other countries where inflation has wreaked havoc, you'll notice that getting your hands on, or transacting in gold, is very difficult.

What people use instead is either cash (US dollars) or bitcoin. The former can be difficult to obtain, especially in larger amounts, and can be falsified. The latter is the easiest to store and transact with.

Here in Canada, we might not be as worse off as countries going through very high or hyperinflation, but you did wonder how you could fend against it.

Well, today you'll learn how to buy Bitcoin as a Canadian in order to store value.

Buy Bitcoin with Interac e-Transfer

Select the Interac e-Transfer option and enter the amount of dollars you wish to send. The amount that you can send at one time depends on your bank (typically $1,000 to $5,000), but you can always contact them to increase it (up to $10,000).

All that's left is to send the amount to the e-mail address that's provided and use the details given to you to fill out the question and answer fields.

Once your deposit clears, it'll appear in your account balance! If you wish to send even more money, in this case you'll have to use the Wire transfer method.
