Some cryptocurrencies don’t believe in marketing gimmicks, and Qtum cryptocurrency is one of them.
For the uninitiated, Qtum is also known as the ‘Ethereum Killer‘. And, it can be one, because the way the team has implemented Qtum, it has changed the whole game.
QTUM is an open-source blockchain and cryptocurrency developed/maintained by the QTUM foundation. It is also a decentralized Blockchain application platform, capable of running smart contracts on multiple virtual machines, with Proof-of-Stake consensus.
Here in Qtum, they have separated the computational layer from the transaction layer so that it is simpler to upgrade the blockchain in the future.
Since its launch, Qtum has risen steadily as its innovative approach has spread just by ‘word of mouth’.

#3. Buy Qtum for cash [peer-to-peer sources]
If you remember we spoke of peer-to-peer resources such as LocalBitcoins and other crypto ATMs through which one can buy currencies like BTC or ETH.
Sadly, we don’t have such peer-to-peer services for Qtum, but that doesn’t mean that one cannot deal in peer-to-peer fashion if you find buyers and sellers. However, in the absence of peer-to-peer services, it becomes tough to find legit individuals who are interested in buying/selling the Qtum cryptocurrency.
And lastly, one needs to be at guard from scammer because finding peers and dealing with them without a proper escrowed service can be risky.
Conclusion: Purchase Qtum Cryptocurrency
So you see there are so many avenues and ways through which one can buy Qtum cryptocurrency easily weather in fiat or crypto.
But we highly recommend you do not use these services or exchange as your Qtum wallet because centralized exchanges are also prone to hacks. Also, you never know, keeping a crypto safe for a longer term might make you a crypto millionaire someday.
That’s why you should only keep Qtum in, trusted, verified and self-hosted wallets. If you don’t know of any such wallet, this guide on Qtum wallets will help you: Trouble Finding Qtum Wallets? We’ve Found The Best For You.
