I'm interested in purchasing Bitcoin, but I'm a bit unsure of the process. Could you walk me through how I can use PayPal and Coinbase to make this purchase? I've heard about the two platforms but I'm not entirely sure how they work together. I'd like to understand the steps involved, from linking my PayPal account to Coinbase, to actually purchasing the
Bitcoin and storing it securely. Additionally, are there any fees or limitations I should be aware of? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Once your PayPal and Coinbase accounts are successfully linked, you are now ready to make purchases. Simply go back to the Coinbase homepage and select the "Buy & Sell" option at the top.

In the "Buy & Sell" section, you will be presented with a window that allows you to choose the cryptocurrency you wish to buy. For example, select "Bitcoin" from the list of available cryptocurrencies.
