<p>Monero is a cryptocurrency that allows anonymous transactions around the world. Monero stands on pillars of security, privacy, and decentralization, and the community and developers are committed to protecting these values. We suggest learning more about how Monero works and reading the <a href="/get-started/what-is-monero/">What is Monero page</a>. The <a href="https://github.com/monero-project">source code for Monero</a> and all our official clients are available for public view and discussion on Github.</p>

<p>You need somewhere to store physical cash such as your bank, your wallet, or under your mattress. Although Monero is an entirely digital asset (you cannot touch them!), you still need a place to store them. This is done in a digital wallet. You oversee securing your own funds, and there is no way to restore them if you make a mistake. Thus, take great care in selecting the right wallet for you. Some are safer and others are more convenient than others. See our <a href="/downloads/">downloads page</a> for the wallets that The Monero Project has put out.</p>

<p>Empty wallets are no fun! Let’s get some Monero in there! You can receive Monero from someone else, or purchase some on <a href="/community/merchants/">an exchange</a>. We do not endorse specific services, but you can view the exchanges that support Monero on the Merchants page. Depending on the exchange, you can buy Monero from several currencies including USD, EUR, and Bitcoin.

<p>It is typically a poor idea to leave a large amount of money on an exchange. If you manage your wallet properly, it is a much safer place to store your Monero. Learn how to send and receive Monero by <a href="/get-started/accepting/">viewing our guide</a>, and learn about your risk exposure.</p>

<p>You now have Monero and know how to use it! Monero, like cash, can be used for many goods and services. For a list of some groups that accept Monero directly, see our <a href="/community/merchants/">Merchants page.</a> Other services make it easy to pay Bitcoin addresses with the privacy of Monero.</p>
