# Buying Cryptocurrencies

* **How do I buy cryptocurrencies on this P2P platform?**

After creating an account, browse through the listed offers from sellers. Once you find an offer that suits you, initiate a trade request. The seller will place the cryptocurrency in escrow, and you will send the payment. Once the payment is confirmed, the cryptocurrency will be released to your wallet.

* **What payment methods are accepted for buying crypto?**

We offer a range of payment options, including bank transfers, online payment systems, and in some cases, cash payments. The available methods depend on the sellers' preferences.

* **How long does a typical trade take?**

Trade durations vary based on factors such as the chosen payment method and the responsiveness of the parties involved. Some trades may take just a few minutes, while others might take longer to complete.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bitwyre-1.gitbook.io/bitwyre/p2p-faq-page/buying-cryptocurrencies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
