Buying BTC and Using It
1.) Download the App Mycelium
NOTE: Bitcoin = BTC
Note that Bitcoin is abbrevated as BTC ONLY
Mycelium is an app which represent or replaces or acts like a real wallet in real life. The bitcoint Wallet app is found in playstores in Andriod or IOS (apple phones and Ipads).
It looks like in the pictures on the right hand in the app or when you must have downloaded it.
a) Go to google play app or apple app store, type mycelium and when you recorgnize the app, then you download and install the app.
b) Setting it Up (Creating an account):
This is very simple butcomplex because it is like creating your Bank Acount with security measures in case you loose your phone or device.
So you need a pen and paper and a very safe place to hide the informations you will get . This will enable you to get access to your account in case you loose your device.
i) Open the app and follow all the instructions it will portray.
ii) The app will give your about 12 words like (apple, friend, mother, play) you have to retype them in the app AND also write them down one after the other. I suggest you number them so that you can give them back in a chronological order.

iii) Once you repeat the 12 words, your app will be set up and it will look on your device like the Picture below.
N.B: Please keep the paper with the words secretly and safely. I recommend you even store it in an email address which you use all the time. send as a message to a trusted one or to yourself . This email must not be connected to your phone.
