Electrum is a Bitcoin-only wallet that has been around since It's easy to use, but has advanced features. I have a wallet, do I have to buy a whole bitcoin? These days, that would be quite an expensive endeavor. You can check out the current price of one bitcoin, here.

The best place to buy your first bitcoin is on an exchange Wallets themselves tend not to give you the option to buy and sell bitcoin for fiat. Here is what that looks like from within the PayPal app Hardcore Bitcoiners will be sad to know that the buying functionality is really limited for now.
Users can only buy and sell their Bitcoins within PayPal. That means that users cannot withdraw the coins or even transfer them to other paypal users. Because of this, there is no way for a buyer to take custody of the coins himself. He must trust PayPal to custody them for him. This may be ideal for older, less technically abled investors who merely want price action from Bitcoin. Still, for now, PayPal is basically offering users a way to speculate on the price of Bitcoin and nothing else.
There is one exception to this. Users can spend the Bitcoin with merchants who accept Bitcoin via PayPal. This is because PayPal is not sending the merchant Bitcoin anyway. They are paying the merchant in fiat currency - USD - and accepting the Bitcoin on their behalf. So when you spend your PayPal Bitcoins at one of these merchants, they are just selling your Bitcoin for you in order to pay the merchant. What has PayPal said about Bitcoin in the past?

We are a strong believer in the potential of blockchain. The digitization of currency is only a matter of when not if. As of now, we do not know when PayPal intends on launching this service or even what coins it will support, though it's almost certain Bitcoin will among the coins offered.
