How Do I Send Bitcoin to Someone?

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a payment system; it is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator. The network is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary.

These transactions are verified by network nodes through the use of cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin is unique in that there are a finite number of them: 21 million.

Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services.

As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment.

NOTE: WARNING: Sending Bitcoin to someone can be risky and you should exercise caution when doing so. Make sure you double-check the address you are sending Bitcoin to, as this cannot be reversed. There is also a risk of theft, so take extra care when transferring large amounts of Bitcoin. It is important to use a secure wallet that keeps your private keys safe and provides two-factor authentication for added security.

Sending Bitcoin to someone is very easy. All you need is their Bitcoin address. A Bitcoin address is like an email address; it’s what you give to someone so they can send you Bitcoin.

You can get a Bitcoin address from a wallet like Coinbase or Blockchain.info.

Once you have their Bitcoin address, open up your wallet and click on the ‘Send’ tab. Enter their address into the ‘Recipient’ field and enter the amount of Bitcoin you want to send them in the ‘Amount’ field.

Then click ‘Send’ and confirm the transaction. That’s it! The person you sent the Bitcoin to should now have it in their wallet.
