MMO CR I’m new to crypto and need to pay a Bitcoin bill. How do I do that? (Sorry if it’s a beginner question!)

I need some help because I’m super new to crypto. I think this could be a good way to start learning with a small step.

I have a Bitcoin invoice I need to pay privately. I only have a PayPal account right now, and I don’t want to use it to pay the invoice directly (if that’s even an option).

So here’s my question: Can I make a temporary wallet just for this, buy some Bitcoin using PayPal, and then use that wallet to pay the invoice?

How do I do this step by step? Are there any apps, websites, or services you recommend? Thanks a lot for helping out someone just getting started!

This should be the go-to way to do things, if it isn’t already.

You really shouldn't be spending anything from your main wallet.

The tricky part is, it's super hard to find safe ways to swap PayPal for crypto. There are lots of scammers trying to trick people.

If I were you, I’d skip PayPal trades. It’s better to use a credit card, virtual card, or something safer.

But if you really want to try peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, make sure you do a LOT of research first. Sites like Bitpay, OKX, or Coinbase have P2P options that are a bit more trusted.

Using Trust Wallet works just fine. No big problems with it.
