[A directory of Bitcoin Exchanges servicing the world’s 20 largest
|
||
economies](https://bitcoin.org/en/exchanges), as well as several international
|
||
options (serving many countries) are now available on Bitcoin.org.
|
||
|
||
## Helping People Interested in Bitcoin, Get Bitcoin
|
||
This new addition to the site:
|
||
|
||
- Links to the `Find an Exchange` button on the [Getting Started](https://bitcoin.org/en/getting-started)
|
||
page and helps many of the new people entering the Bitcoin ecosystem via
|
||
Bitcoin.org, get bitcoin.
|
||
- Improves SEO for Bitcoin.org, because the site can now potentially rank very
|
||
well for “Bitcoin Exchange” as well as other key phrases that include country
|
||
names that are contained on the page (i.e. Bitcoin Exchange China, Bitcoin
|
||
Exchange India, etc.).
|
||
- Has unique anchor links for each country that people can share on social media
|
||
that will allow others to find the bitcoin exchanges that are available for
|
||
their specific country.
|
||
- Allows Bitcoin.org to focus the [wallets page](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet)
|
||
on wallets that allow people to maintain full control over their funds
|
||
(Resolving [issue #1109](https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/1109),
|
||
because custodial wallets that provide exchange services can be moved off of the
|
||
wallets page to this new page).
|
||
- Is also accessible via the Resources `dropdown` menu.
|
||
|
||
## Questions, Comments & Feedback
|
||
Questions, issues, suggestions or feedback are always welcome on Bitcoin.org. If
|
||
interested in contributing in this regard, please open an issue or submit a pull
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
## Use Discretion when Choosing an Exchange
|
||
As noted in the above screen shot, Bitcoin Exchanges provide varying degrees of
|
||
safety, security, privacy, and control over your funds and information. Perform
|
||
your own due diligence and choose a wallet where you will keep your bitcoin
|
||
before selecting an exchange.
