How to Buy OmiseGo (OMG)

Since the publication of its white paper in 2017, the vision for OmiseGo has been that it will one day allow different payment platforms to trade assets on behalf of users in a real-time market. 

If this idea sounds a bit complex, we’ve got you covered with a more in-depth introductory guide that explains how OmiseGo works and why OMG might be right for certain investors and traders. 
 

If OmiseGo can bridge the gap between e-payments systems, OMG will have a strong use-case that could make it attractive to long-term investors. 

As with any cryptocurrency, you can buy OMG from a variety of places on the internet. However, you may find that it is easiest to purchase through a trusted global exchange.

Once you buy OMG, you’ll need somewhere to safely store your cryptocurrency, especially if you’re not expecting to immediately spend it. 

Kraken prides itself on security, but it’s always safest to store your OMG in a wallet, a software or hardware application that stores the private keys that guarantee your ownership of OMG.

There are many types of OMG wallets available. Mobile and web wallets can make transactions easy, while hardware wallets are perhaps best suited for secure, long-term storage. 

When choosing a crypto wallet for your OMG, first spend some time thinking about what you plan to do with your tokens to find a wallet that fits your needs.
