Step 3. Keep your bitcoin secure

Now that you’ve purchased bitcoin, it is important to keep it safe and secure just as you would with a bank account. Here are some basic principles to follow:

1. Create backups of your private keys. To protect against robbery, fire, or hard drive failure, we recommend keeping a backup of your private keys kept off-site.
2. Never give your private keys to anyone. Giving another person your private keys is the same as giving them access to your bank account.
3. Mobile and Desktop Wallets: Keep your offline and online wallets up to date with the latest software. This will ensure they are as secure as possible.
