I'm old and I am terrible with this stuff.. Can anyone walk me through how to pay using bitcoin? Step by step with links and pictures if you can..? I do not have a wallet for bitcoin etc.. I don't know acronymes or fancy words.. assume I'm Fred Flintstone...

I'm guessing we could turn it into a sticky for guys like me. .

Thanks in advance.

also for those not going to use bitcoin much or just one time try a bitcoin service. you send them an emt and they send the bitcoin on your behalf
now yes this costs more but convenience always costs more. using this way you do not need to get your own wallet.
message me if you want to know the service I used when I first got into bitcoin. they are easy to use, fast and very safe.

Use Shakepay.

It’s pretty easy. Send money from your account and hold it in a wallet. Buy bitcoin when you need it

So, download shake pay app and then it will walk me through the steps? When I send bitcoin, the vendor said "send to this addrress" and then he gave this very long list of random letters... That's the address?

I fought it forever. I use Shakepay as well. It couldnt be any easier. If at all confused there would be info on youtube to walk you through or shoot one of us a message. Once i did it i was kicking self for waiting so long
 
I watched a youtube vid the first time i did it. I was nervous but it ended up being easy.
Even tho i didnt know how to copy and paste with my phone at the time. Typing that long ass BC address was a pain. Plus i have big fat fingers
 
I am so stubborn, I still send cash. But no one seems to mind because they always get a pack of jerky with the money.

Bitcoin seems fairly easy, but I just don’t want to use it.
 
Shakepay is where it's at. I used to hate sending BTC because of the fees from regular exchanges but shakepay is way cheaper to use.
 
Got the shake pay app... Try to register and have it text me a code.. code won't come through. tried a few times.

Went to shakepay website... Tried to set up an account, but when I enter my cell# and click "send code", no code is texted to me.. I tried resending the code a few times
 
fuck me I feel like smashing something..

I spent an hour this morning on my phone adjusting settings etc... I used chatgpt and a co -worker and nothing was letting the verification code make it to my phone.. I checked everything.. I went back and forth with chatgpt for a very long time.. finally I said fuck it..

In the afternoon a message popped up in my unknown senders file on my phone.. it was the shakepay code.. the code was expired and I was busy at work so there was nothing I could do.. So when I got home, I tried once again to register with shakepay.. I got the verification code sent to my cell right away (success!!), I put the code it and then it said they were sending a confirmation email... Well fuck me that email has not come through.. I have 3 email account... 2 personal and one with work.. I would never use my work email... I checed every spam/junk/inbox I could and no email has ever come through..

So I tried the process again.. I have tried both the website and the app by the way... when I try to do it al over again, no fucking code with come through on my cell again... fuck sakes..

Wtf. It was seamless for me. Are you using a VPN that might be interrupting? I do find some shakepay comes to my junk.
