In this post, I’m going to show you EXACTLY how to convert bitcoin to ethereum easily and securely.

In fact, this is the exact process that I use to convert bitcoin to ethereum using Coinswitch and Changelly.

So, if you want fast, easy, and secure ways to convert bitcoin to ethereum, then you’ll love this new tutorial.

Let’s dive right in…

Getting Started

Before you start converting bitcoin to ethereum, there are basic things you need to be in place in order to have a successful exchange.

This basic necessity includes:

• Wallet
• Bitcoin

For a wallet, you will need a secure wallet in which you can store your ethereum.

There are numerous cryptocurrency wallets out there but not all of them are secured.

That's why I always recommend a hardware wallet.

Specifically Ledger Nano or Trezor.

For software wallets, you can use Blockchain.com, Metamask, or MEW (My ether wallet).

Always note that storing your coins on a hardware wallet is more secure than storing it in an online wallet.

And the least secure way of storing your coins is doing so on an exchange like Coinbase, Binance, Luno, etc.

In these exchanges, you do not have control of your private key which makes it much easier to lose your funds to hack or if the exchange shuts down.

Secondly, you will need some bitcoin in order to successfully convert it to ethereum.

If you do not have bitcoin, you can check out this guide on how to get some easily and securely.

And if you do, then you are ready to start swapping your coins.

Let's get started.
