Can you buy a physical bitcoin?

Physical bitcoins — yes, they do exist — are not just great collector’s items, they also let you store your digital currency on them. Or to be more precise, most of them do. Different types of physical bitcoins exist, just as currencies have coins of different monetary values.

There are four main ways to get Bitcoins: 1) Purchase on a cryptocurrency exchange like Coinbase or payment service like CashApp , 2) Sign up for an investment brokerage like Robinhood, 3) Find a cryptocurrency ATM or store, and 4) Use a crypto faucet to receive Bitcoins in exchange for completing tasks.
