After successful e-mail confirmation, your account will be created, and you can access the Bitcoin Store platform with your login details.

To gain full access to the Bitcoin Store platform without restrictions, you need to verify your account.

Account verification confirms the user's identity according to EU regulations and (KYC) policy. 

Bitcoin Store uses an external provider for verification, through which the user's identity is checked and confirmed.

During the verification process, it is necessary to attach a valid identity card or other personal document depending on the country of residence.

Instructions for successful verification:

1. Take a picture of the front and back of your personal document.

*Note: Allow access to your device's camera so that the verification process can take place. 

It is necessary to have good lighting in the room and place the document on a flat surface so that there are no reflections when taking a picture of the document.

2. After taking a picture of both sides of your ID, take a selfie as instructed by the system.

*Note: If you are taking a selfie using a mobile device, make sure your face is in focus. 

If your photo is blurry, click the button to restart the camera. Make sure the room has good lighting. Please do not wear a hat, or sunglasses or use filters when taking a live selfie.

There is no unique policy in taxing cryptocurrency.

This depends on how the laws of each country define cryptocurrency, and what type of tax system is utilized in the particular country. 

Some countries have flexible regulations on cryptocurrency, while some treat it as a source of income you have to report.

Right now, most countries recognize cryptocurrencies as digital assets or property, which attract capital gains. 

This is why you will probably have to pay some sort of income tax or tax on capital gains in the country where you reside.

The best way to protect yourself from scams is through constant education and due diligence.

The most common scams nowadays include unknown people who present themselves as “brokers”. 

They persuade their target to invest in cryptocurrencies by offering a quick return on investment.

In reality, fake brokers want to get access to your personal information and money for their own benefit. 

Also, many investment-related websites, while looking legit at first, are actually phishing sites designed to steal your personal information and money.

If you are a beginner in cryptocurrency trading, the first thing you need to do is do your own due diligence. 

Learning which platforms are secure and licensed to trade cryptocurrencies is mandatory.

Always follow updates and warnings issued by Financial regulatory agencies. 

*Note: Never share your personal information over the phone with people who might sound suspicious, or on suspicious websites.

Transferring cryptocurrencies from one digital wallet to another requires that both wallets are connected to the same blockchain network.

Otherwise, if the transaction is carried out your funds may be lost (because the wallets can't communicate with each other due to network incompatibility).

For example, if you send Bitcoin (BTC) from your wallet to another, you should select only the Bitcoin blockchain network for the transfer.

Ethereum and all ERC-20 tokens should be sent or received via the ETH/ERC-20 network.

The Bitcoin Store platform supports multiple networks for sending or depositing cryptocurrencies to the Bitcoin Store Wallet.

When sending or receiving cryptocurrency, please check whether the network displayed in your order is identical to the network of the external platform.

Sometimes, due to the congestion of blockchain networks, the fees can be higher for individual users and institutions. 

The Bitcoin Store platform enables users to save on their crypto transfer fees by choosing the transfer network.

This option will allow you to select from more than one blockchain network when sending or receiving the asset using Bitcoin Store.

When sending or receiving crypto on the Bitcoin Store platform:

*Important: If you are sending or receiving crypto, please make sure that you are using the correct network. Cryptocurrencies with multi-network support must be transferred through the same network on sending and receiving end.

If you transfer crypto using the incorrect network, Bitcoin Store does not have the ability to recover your funds.

If you do not understand how multi-network transfers work, we recommend contacting our support before transferring crypto.

Once the price reaches the level you previously defined, you will automatically receive a notification in your e-mail inbox. 

If you want to remove the notification, click again on the cryptocurrency you selected, the bell icon, and simply turn off the notification.

Several factors determine the popularity of cryptocurrencies. 

The list of most popular cryptocurrencies often changes.

One of the most important factors determining the cryptocurrency's popularity is the total market value of the circulating supply.

For example, Bitcoin has the largest market cap, which makes it the largest and most popular cryptocurrency. 

The total number of transactions made with a single cryptocurrency also determines its popularity.

Furthermore, media exposure and trending on social media can contribute to the popularity of a particular cryptocurrency. 

The best example of this is Dogecoin.

The most popular cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin and Dogecoin are Ethereum, Ripple, Tether, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Uniswap, Polkadot, Binance Coin, etc.

The value of cryptocurrencies depends on many factors. 

It is important to emphasize that the difference between "cheap" and "expensive" cryptocurrencies primarily refers to the total number of certain cryptocurrencies in circulation.

Just because a cryptocurrency is cheap doesn't necessarily mean it will ever reach the price of Bitcoin.

Market conditions also dictate the price of all cryptocurrencies.

There are several factors that determine the price of a cryptocurrency:

Some cryptocurrencies will never reach the value of Bitcoin. The reason for this is the total amount of coins in circulation. 

Some cryptocurrencies have more than 100 billion coins in circulation. 

A large amount of coins in circulation usually means that the price of a single coin goes around €1.

However, this doesn’t mean that investors can’t take profits out of these cryptocurrencies. 

As the entire cryptocurrency market grows, so do all other cryptocurrencies. 

If the market grows, the initial price of €1 can reach €2.
