First of all, welcome to Web3. By purchasing a Pop Cult Genesis NFT, you are buying a piece of cultural development. A piece of the internet, that is really yours. Your NFT will be stored in your personal crypto-wallet. Under your own management. Decentralised.
To make it as easy as possible for cult members, we’ve created a step-by-step plan that makes it easy for you to buy your Pop Cult Genesis NFT and become part of our family.
There are two currencies you can use to mine a Pop Cult NFT: with Ethereum (ETH) or with the stablecoin USDC. The fastest way is with ETH, but if you like the stability of USDC, this is also an option.
There are several crypto exchanges on which you can buy ETH or USDC. In this explanation we will choose for convenience the largest exchange (Binance) and the exchange with the fewest steps (Anycoindirect).
Make sure you get FIAT (normal money) on Binance, you will need this to be able to convert to Ethereum (ETH) or USDC.
Please note: sending money on the blockchain is not free, you will have to pay a fee for this. To be sure, make sure you have more money in your wallet than the purchase amount of your NFT.

2. Convert FIAT to ETH or USDC
If you have FIAT on Binance, you can convert it to ETH or USDC.

Once you have successfully converted your currency to ETH or USDC, the next step is to send these funds to your own decentralised wallet. Of course, you need to download this first.
3. Download your MetaMask (or Trust or Coinbase) Wallet
The next step will make your transaction truly decentralised: you will download your own personal wallet. The most well-known decentralised cryptowallet is MetaMask, which we also recommend from Pop Cult, but you can also choose to download Trust Wallet or the Coinbase Wallet. All these wallets work pretty much the same, for the sake of clarity we will choose to use MetaMask in this tutorial because it is the most well-known wallet. For other wallets you can also find plenty of video tutorials online. If you really can’t work something out: let us know so we can help you out with the steps.
Please note: store your seed phrase very securely, not in your phone, or the inbox of your mail, but really somewhere local in a safe place. Your seed phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose or forget your password.

4. From Binance to MetaMask (or Trust or Coinbase) Wallet The next step is to send your ETH or USDC to your decentralised wallet (MetaMask or Trust, depending on your choice).
Note: once again, make sure you have more funds in your account than the mint price of your NFT.
In the case of Pop Cult, the mint price is $275. Keep in mind that you have to pay a fee to be able to use the mint. You pay a small fee to be able to use the network and this ‘toll’ is paid in ETH. So make sure you always have some ETH in your wallet.
5. Connect your wallet with the Pop Cult website
Go to https://mint.popcult.io and press ‘connect wallet’ at the top right. Once you grant permission, your wallet will be connected to the Pop Cult Mint page. Here, you can follow the next steps, choose how many NFTs you want to mine and voila!
6. View your NFT on OpenSea
To view your NFT, go to an NFT marketplace (www.opensea.io). Connect your wallet like you did on the Pop Cult mint page and see your ticket to our community.
