Go to Exchange in your BTS wallet,
then choose OPEN.BTC/BTS market, 
then go to BUY BTS  and place your bid to buy BTS

Hello
I have one question, I am new here, I have not yet registered or created a wallet, I'm interested in one when I pay $ 100 and I buy bts whether it is possible to simply not trade, but to wait for the course I bought to grow like a bitcoin, then I pick up a profit which I will do.
Thanks for your reply

Welcome to BTS Coin Boy,
So you wish just to buy BTS and not trade. Yes,  it is possible as many of us here are not traders but simply HODLERS as you wish to be.
Easiest way would be to buy BTC first and then transfer it to your BTS wallet. After that you can just follow instruction which I have given to jszorady/ Jim.
Good luck  :)

Hi everyone, I am new to BTS and this group.

As of yesterday I opened a BTS Wallet and transferred some BTC into the wallet. My wallet shows that it has 449 BTS. I read in the other post about just holding onto the BTS and not trading. This is what I was wondering about. If a person just wants to own BTS they can just leave it in their wallet correct? without having to do any trading? So as the price of BTS moves so would the value of your total BTS?

Welcome coinjar
Yes one of the options is just to keep your BTS coins in your wallet and enjoy while they grow in value against USD and other fiat  :)

hello my friendS
I'm sorry to hear you through a message, I decided to buy bts, maybe I can do it directly without having bitcoins, or simply have to, so in all this I'm new, slowly learning and I beg you to help me, because I do not have bitcoin wallet.
with respect :)

Hi Coin Boy,

Yes you will need to have BTC first or some other coin which is tradable on DEX.
Service which I use to buy BTC is uphold.com but there are other ways like localbitcoins.com


Good luck  :)
