Receiving bitcoin is as easy as giving the sender your public address. Sending bitcoin requires a few more steps and since bitcoin transactions are irreversible, it is important to pay attention when sending. Overall, the process for sending bitcoin is actually quite easy:
1. Copy the receiver’s public Bitcoin address (or scan QR code)
2. Open your wallet and navigate to its “Send” feature, paste the receiver’s address into the appropriate field
3. Specify the amount you want to send (for help converting fiat currency into bitcoin visit our Bitcoin Tools page.)
4. Confirm that the address and amount are both correct
5. Send
