Social Wallet and WIRE: Cryptocurrency Buying Made Simple

With headlines like, “Millions of Dollars in Cryptocurrency Stolen by Hackers,” and “Bitcoin Forks Causes Panic as Korean Ban Looms,” cryptocurrency can seem extremely confusing, daunting, and just outright scary to someone not in the loop. We at Social Wallet know how hard it is to get into cryptocurrency and we are here to help. Today, we’ll show you how to obtain some cryptocurrency, and how to purchase our token that runs our platform, WIRE. (For an abridged version, scroll to the bottom.

Step 1: Get Yourself Some Crypto

The first step in obtaining WIRE is obtaining some cryptocurrency. At this point, we do not accept any currency other than Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Steem (STEEM), and Steem Dollars (SBD). So this means no dollars or pounds, just cryptocurrency.

To get some of these cryptos, we suggest making an account at Coinbase. This is the number one place to buy from and is the most trusted site. Once you have signed up on their website purchase the dollar amount of tokens you would like to use. The cryptocurrencies you should buy are one of the following; Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin. Once you have purchased the amount of your desired coin, go ahead and move on to our website.

Step 2: Head Over To Our Website And Check Out Our Information

So, you’ve obtained some crypto and want to start purchasing some WIRE. First, we would like you to check out our website. We want you to understand that we are completely transparent. We are not hiding behind walls, and being anonymous, we are out there in the open, trying to make cryptocurrency and the blockchain understandable by everyone through the infusion of our platform with social media. Crypto for everyone, and crypto giving back are ideals we strongly believe in, and are working hard to make happen.

So, you’ve given our website a good read. You opened up our whitepaper and were inspired by our motivation to help over 2.5 billion users. Now, you want to be a part of helping the world, let’s move on to how to get started with WIRE and Social Wallet.

Step 3: Register For An Account

You’re ready to buy some WIRE, all you have to do is set up an account on Social Wallet. Go here to create your account, or click through on our website to our token sale. Once you’ve done that, get the Know Your Customer (KYC) out of the way to ensure you receive your tokens on April 28th when the platform goes live. See, simple. If you don’t have all the information you need to complete your KYC then you can still make your purchase and come back later to submit your documentation. The documentation you will need is a valid Identification and a utility bill or some other bill which has your name and address on it. You’re almost there, one more step. It’s time to buy the Wire Tokens.

Step 4: Get Yourself Some WIRE

The last and final step. It’s pretty straightforward. Select which cryptocurrency you want to pay for WIRE in. Type the amount in USD that you want to spend in that cryptocurrency. You will be presented with a popup with a wallet address. The wallet address is a long string of random letters and numbers. Copy that address down. Now go back to Coinbase. You need to go to your account and select the currency you purchased. There will be an option to send currency. Select that option and paste the address that you copied from our website onto the line where it says send. You have now sent your cryptocurrency to purchase Wire Tokens. It may prompt you to confirm the transaction in your email. You have now purchased Wire Tokens. The Tokens will not be released to you until after the Token Sale has completed which is April 27th or whenever we sell out of tokens.

Cryptocurrency should not be hard. We know that it has been since its inception, and we are changing that right now. As a note, depending on your purchase date of WIRE, you might be in one of our “bonus periods” where you are awarded a percentage more of your initial purchase amount of WIRE. You will see this whenever you login to your Social Wallet account. Thank you for supporting us. Now go purchase your WIRE.
