Some of this might seem strange and daunting at first for someone who’s never used cryptocurrency before. Don’t worry, we’ll take you through every step of the process. First you need to buy some BTC that you’re going to use to buy some EPIC on the ViteX Decentralized Exchange. Don’t worry if that previous sentence seemed like a word salad – it’ll make sense as we step you through the journey!
Buy BTC
Coinbase website
It may seem odd, but before you buy EPIC, you’ll need to buy BTC first. The reason? You’re still very early and there is no way to buy EPIC directly with fiat money. This feature is coming, but until then, please follow the instructions below.
You can buy BTC on any exchange, the video here shows instructions for buying BTC with Coinbase – other exchanges such as Kraken, Gemini or Binance could be used instead.
Buy EPIC using ViteX

Next you’ll need to buy your EPIC on ViteX using the BTC you’ve just bought. Once you’ve bought your EPIC on ViteX, we recommend you leave it in the ViteX wallet until there is an easier way to get it into the native EPIC Pay mobile app. If you are desperate to use the EPIC Pay app, please follow the instructions on this page.
