Why Bitcoin in Gaza and Palestine

Bitcoin offers a borderless, censorship-resistant way to save and transfer value. For Gaza and all of Palestine, it can mean greater autonomy, access to global markets, and resilience in difficult times.

Accessing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies can offer an important means to financial independence and resilience. Although access may present unique challenges in terms of safety and efficiency, engaging with the global cryptocurrency market is possible—and our mission is to help you do it securely.

Safety and efficiency

When getting started, prioritise platforms with a clear track record, strong security, and transparent fees. Use two-factor authentication, keep your keys and recovery phrases private, and only use amounts you can afford. The Bitcoin Gaza community is here to share best practices and support you every step of the way.

How to choose a platform

When comparing options, consider: whether the service accepts users from your region; clear terms of use and fee structure; availability of two-factor authentication and withdrawal controls; and independent reviews or community feedback. Prefer services that do not promise guaranteed returns and that let you withdraw or hold your own keys where possible.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Clicking links from ads, messages or unknown emails instead of typing the platform URL yourself.
• Sharing your recovery phrase, private keys or password with anyone, including “support” that asks for them.
• Keeping large amounts on a platform instead of moving them to a wallet you control.
• Using amounts you cannot afford to lose; cryptocurrency can be volatile and access can be affected by local conditions.
