First, go to Bybit and sign up. Takes like 2 minutes. You’ll need to do that KYC stuff too — basically upload your ID and a selfie. Nothing crazy.

Once you’re in, you gotta deposit some crypto. Just go to “Assets,” hit “Deposit,” pick Bitcoin or whatever, and send it from your wallet. Boom, funds in.

Now, to trade Bitcoin — you’ve got two main options:

• Spot trading (you’re just buying/selling actual Bitcoin), or

• Derivatives trading (you’re trading contracts, kinda like betting on price movements — but with leverage if you’re into that risk).

For spot trading (which is easiest to start with):

1. Go to Trade > Spot.

2. Pick BTC/USDT (that’s Bitcoin vs. Tether).

3. Choose your order type:

   • Market = buy/sell instantly at the current price.

   • Limit = set your own price and wait for it to hit.

4. Hit buy or sell. Done.

After that, you can check your open trades in the “Orders” tab.

One tip: always start small till you get the hang of it. And maybe set a stop-loss so you don’t wake up broke 😂
