Steps on how to buy Filecoin

Look for an exchange that supports both fiat and cryptocurrency to simplify buying Filecoin.

  1. Compare cryptocurrency exchanges that supports FIL.
    Cryptocurrency exchanges differ by fees, security and payment methods, so you'll need to research which is the right fit for you. As a beginner, you don't need a big range of features, and you can always change exchanges later.
  2. Create an account on an exchange.
    You can sign up for an account by selecting the Go to site button. This will take you to the account creation page, where you can fill in your details, starting with your name and email address..
  3. Deposit funds into your account.
    Fund your account with a bank transfer, pay with a credit or debit card or deposit cryptocurrency from a crypto wallet to buy Filecoin.
  4. Buy Filecoin.
    Complete your Filecoin purchase and then find the best wallet to store FIL.

What to consider when buying Filecoin

Before deciding whether or not to buy FIL, there are a few things worth considering:

  • Inflationary token: Filecoin is a highly inflationary cryptocurrency, which means it may not be a great asset for holding long term. This is because it is a utility token, so it is designed to be spent and used within the Filecoin ecosystem, rather than held for its speculative value like Bitcoin. The bulk of tokens are reserved for mining rewards, which makes up 70% of the total supply and will be gradually released over the lifetime of the network. The remaining tokens are already allocated, either sold to investors in the 2017 ICO or reserved in order to fund future development.
  • Use-case: Filecoin’s native token FIL is used for payments on the network, as well as held by miners as collateral in order to use the network. Contracts between miners (storage providers) and clients (storage buyers) are settled through bids on an open market, using Filecoin as payment. Filecoin tokens are also used to settle microtransactions on the network, such as when data is pulled from multiple storage locations on demand. In addition to receiving payments, miners can also earn Filecoin simply by offering space, even if it goes unused. This is so there is a given amount of free storage on the network at any given time.
  • Competition: Filecoin was one of the first platforms to offer decentralised storage using the blockchain, however it is not the only project in this sector. Storj and Sia are both direct competitors to Filecoin. On top of this, Filecoin has to contend with major centralised businesses that currently dominate the cloud storage space – companies such as Google, Apple and Amazon all operate cloud storage platforms.

How to sell Filecoin

You can cash out your FIL with the same exchange you bought it through:

  1. Sign in to the exchange you have FIL on.
    If you store your Filecoin in a digital wallet, compare crypto exchanges to sell it on.
  2. Place a sell order.
    Choose the amount of FIL you'd like to sell.
  3. Complete your transaction.
    Confirm the sell price and fees and close your sale of Filecoin.
