Content Data
This page contains data entry 39526 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.
Bitcoin uses cryptography to store the units of bitcoin. There is a private key (a long string of characters) that gives access to bitcoin, and an associated public address (another long string of characters) which is used to receive bitcoin.
To move bitcoin off an exchange and store yourself literally all you need to do is create the key pair: private key and public address, and then send the bitcoin to the public address. There are different pieces of software that will generate these keys for you.
So once you have generated the "key pair", you just send your bitcoin from your Coinbase account to the public address you generated. Now your bitcoin is off the exchange and held by you and you alone.
Since the keys are literally just strings of characters, you just need to store them to maintain access to you bitcoin. Simplest way is to simply write the private key down on a piece of paper, and write the public address down as well so you can continue to send bitcoin to that address. If you lose your private key, you lose your bitcoin. If someone else gets your private key, they can take your bitcoin. So you have to keep your private key safe and secure, and you get to choose how you do this. Some people just write it down (a "paper wallet"), some people buy hardware to store it (a "hardware wallet") and some people do other things.
But that's all there is to it: Generate a bitcoin key pair which is just two pieces of text, keep those keys specifically keeping the private key safe and secure however you want, and send your bitcoin from Coinbase to the public address.
