Please. Do you have an OFFICIAL step-by-step example for a first purchase of Bitcoins, using USD or BRL? ---

We do not, but we’re working on putting something together. Feel free to ask questions here in the forum if you have any issues in the meantime. ---

Thank you @cbeams. Bisq has an excellent, and extensive documentation. I’ve studied a lot. But I missed some practical exercises. With real money, or with simulation. ---

If it helps, you can watch Chris create an offer in Bisq in this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoSLBsUsmTo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoSLBsUsmTo) around 15 minutes in. He did a little example there while he was live on that show. You can also find some tutorials on YouTube for the older version of Bisq (called Bitsquare). It is pretty similar. ---

Thank you @alexej996. This video is more blah blah blah (text text text). But I missed some practical exercises. With real money, or with simulation. ---

Credit cards are not supported as the payment method in Bisq, because of the chargeback risk.
