So next we're going to look at how to create an account and also how to get that bonus. Let's begin. Kraken was one of the first cryptocurrency platforms, founded in 2011. Imagine, just two years after the creation of Bitcoin. Since then, it has managed to maintain its position as one of the leading cryptocurrency platforms. And well, to create an account I'll also leave you the official Cracken link in the description of this video. This way you would be taking advantage of those bonuses and also supporting the channel. This is at no cost to you. first thing it will ask us to do is enter our email address. email address, we continue. And here we must enter a six-digit code that will be sent to our email address. In my case, I already received that code and it is this one . We'll paste it here and continue. Now it asks us to set a strong password. Make sure that password meets these characteristics and then press continue. We confirm our country of residence, which in my case is Mexico, we accept here, and press continue. The next step will be to verify our identity. For that, we're going to personal information here, such as our name, surname, date of birth, our address, phone number, and occupation. After completing this asks us for a little more information platform. After answering those questions, we continued. He asks us again for our country of residence, which in my case is Mexico, and we continue. Here it identification number from this country. In my case, yes. And here we place the identification number. In my case, I entered my INE number. And then we continued. Here we simply press these two little arrows, one indicating that I am not a US citizen and that all the information I provided is correct, and we continue. Now it asks us to upload a photograph of our common. Then we pressed continue. In my case, the identification will be from Mexico. And here you simply choose the ID that suits you best. In my consular identification. And we press the little camera here. We give permission and will first take a photograph from the front. If the photograph looks good, which is my case, we press use this photo and now we take the photograph from the back. It looks good too, and we continue. For some strange reason it wouldn't accept my INE (National Electoral Institute ID), so I ended up using my driver's license, but oh well, it allowed me to continue. Now it seems that the final step is to perform facial verification. To do this, we press "take a selfie". And well, we 're all set here. So, I'm just going to press here to take a picture. He asks me to turn my neck. So, we simply rotate it in a circular motion and it seems to be done. Let's wait a little while. And perfect. It tells me here that the account has already been created and verified. So, we is to create and verify an account. Now, what I'm going to do next is show you how to unlock that $10 bonus. To do this, the first thing I'm I think doing all this from the app will be easier. It download it. It says here that the app is already downloading, but to be sure and not fall for scams, I'll go to my App Store or your Play Store, whichever you have. And here I'm also going to look for Kraken. And it's precisely the same one that's simply for safety and to make sure I do n't fall for scams. Once it's downloaded, we open our application and here we'll log in. Here we will enter the email address and password we used to create this account. The first step to earning those $10 is to make an initial deposit of at least $100. And this deposit can be made via in cryptocurrencies. To deposit cryptocurrencies, I'm going to go to the wallet here and then search for individual assets. And here I'm going to look for USDT, which is the cryptocurrency I want to deposit. Then we find it, press the deposit button and here regarding the deposit network I'm going to do it in this one called aptos, since it's quite cheap. And at this point we already have the deposit address. What I'm going to go to where I have the funds, which is here on this Bybit platform, and then press withdraw. And in this case, I'm going to withdraw the USDT. I'm going to paste the address here. And regarding the network, do you remember that we selected the network of suitable accommodations? Here at Bit I'm going to select the same network, which is exactly this one. As for the amount, it's at least $100, but to make sure that Kraken receives more than $100, I'm going to send $105 just for security. The amount that must arrive is a minimum of 100, otherwise you would not be receiving that bonus. We press remove and here I test it with my PAS kit. And right now At this point, it's just a matter of waiting for that deposit to be credited to our account. Even here on the platform, it's showing us our progress. We've already taken the first two steps. Now we need the final step, which is to make a transaction, to exchange those $100 for some other cryptocurrency. That transaction must be done within the first 90 days after creating your account. Okay? So, let's complete the final step, which is buying cryptocurrencies. If I go back here under wallet, it already shows that the USDT deposit has arrived. We press USDT and here we press operate and we are going to convert it. That is, I'm going to sell USDT and buy any cryptocurrency I want, which in this example, in this case, I'm going to leave in Bitcoin. Here's what I'll do: exchange the $105 and receive this amount of Bitcoin. Then I'll press continue and confirm. And that's it, we've now and confirm. And that's it, we've now converted those 105 USDT into Bitcoin. I even received an email notifying me that the $10 was already on its way. I will receive this award in approximately 14 days. So in 14 days we'll come back to see how we did. It's been exactly 6 this video and I've already received an email notifying me that the $10 in Bitcoin was in my account. What I 'm going to do is log into my Kraken account and here under my balance the $10 is already reflected. In fact, I should have 115. I have around 109 because Bitcoin has dropped about 2 or 3% in the last week. But if I go to wallet, select Bitcoin, here I can see the transaction history and here it shows the 105 USDT we exchanged for Bitcoin and also approximately the $10 we received as a reward. I can save this amount I received in Bitcoin and exchange it for another cryptocurrency, send it to my bank, or do whatever any questions? You can leave it in the comments. I always do my best to answer. I'll also leave the official crack link in the description with exclusive benefits. I'll say goodbye here for today.
