Prepare Your Wallet: Make sure you have a Bitcoin wallet ready on your smartphone. There are various wallet options available, including mobile wallets like Coinbase, Trust Wallet, or Mycelium. You’ll need this wallet to receive the Bitcoin you purchase.

Visit the ATM: Go to the Bitcoin ATM’s physical location. These ATMs can often be found in convenience stores, malls, or other public spaces.

Choose the Language: Most Bitcoin ATMs offer language options. Select English if it’s available.

Select “Buy Bitcoin”: On the ATM screen, select the option to “Buy Bitcoin.”

Enter Your Phone Number: Some ATMs might ask for your phone number for verification purposes. This is a part of the anti-money laundering (AML) process. Enter your phone number as requested.

Verification Process: The ATM might ask you to verify your identity. This could involve scanning your driver’s license or ID card and taking a picture of your face. Follow the on-screen instructions for this step.

Enter the Amount: Enter the amount of Bitcoin you want to buy. Some ATMs allow you to enter the amount in dollars, while others might directly ask for the Bitcoin amount. Make sure you have enough cash to cover the purchase.

Insert Cash: Insert the cash into the ATM. The machine will verify the cash and calculate the equivalent amount of Bitcoin based on the current exchange rate.

Enter Your Bitcoin Wallet Address: The ATM will ask you to provide the Bitcoin wallet address where you want the purchased Bitcoin to be sent. This is where having your mobile wallet ready comes in handy. Use your wallet’s “Receive” feature to generate a QR code or copy the address.

Confirm and Complete: Review the transaction details on the ATM screen, including the amount of Bitcoin you’re purchasing and the associated fees. If everything is correct, confirm the transaction.

Wait for Confirmation: The Bitcoin network will need some time to process your transaction. You might receive a receipt from the ATM with a transaction ID. You can use this to track the progress of your transaction on the blockchain.

Transaction Complete: Once the transaction is confirmed, the Bitcoin you purchased will be sent to your wallet.

Take Your Receipt: The ATM might offer you a receipt. It’s a good idea to take it for your records.

Remember that Bitcoin ATM procedures can slightly vary depending on the specific machine and operator. Always exercise caution and be aware of the fees associated with the transaction. Know that you can trust the support provided via Cryptobase ATMs.
