Buy Bitcoin the easy way

People buy Bitcoin for multiple reasons. First, Bitcoin is a store of value: with a fixed maximum supply of 21 million BTC, it has been designed to be resistant to inflation and appreciate over time. Then, Bitcoin is a tool of financial freedom and sovereignty: if held on a self-custodial wallet, it cannot be frozen, seized or blocked by anyone. It is also a great way to send money to anyone in the world at any time, in a few minutes and at a low cost without needing any intermediary. Finally, Bitcoin is interesting to diversify one's investment portofolio, as it has historically shown low correlation with traditional asset classes.
