First, the introduction should explain why buying and selling Bitcoin is important now. Maybe mention its popularity and the basics of getting started.
For the H2s, the first one could be “How to Buy Bitcoin: A Step-by-Step Guide.” Then, a list of steps: choosing an exchange, creating an account, verifying identity, depositing funds, placing an order, and storing Bitcoin securely. Each step needs a brief explanation. Maybe include some tips, like comparing fees or enabling 2FA.
Next H2: “How to Sell Bitcoin: A Step-by-Step Guide.” Similar structure: choosing a platform, accessing wallet, placing a sell order, withdrawing funds. Highlight different methods like exchanges, P2P, or Bitcoin ATMs.
Then, “Tips for Safe Bitcoin Transactions.” Bullet points on security practices: secure wallets, 2FA, avoiding phishing, keeping software updated, and small test transactions.
FAQ section: Common questions like best platforms, time to buy Bitcoin, transaction times, taxes, and Bitcoin safety. Answer each concisely.
I need to make sure the keywords are included naturally. Use variations like “purchase Bitcoin,” “sell Bitcoin,” “cryptocurrency exchange,” etc. Avoid keyword stuffing.
Check that the language is clear and helpful for beginners. Maybe mention popular exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken as examples. Also, explain terms like wallets (hot vs cold) and different order types (market vs limit).
Wait, the user specified ~900 words. Let me estimate the sections. Intro: 100 words. Buying Bitcoin: 300 words. Selling: 300. Tips: 150. FAQ: 150. That adds up. Need to ensure each section is detailed enough but not too lengthy.
Make sure lists are formatted correctly, maybe with bullet points in the content. The title should be compelling and include the keyword. Maybe “How to Buy and Sell Bitcoin: A Complete Guide for Beginners.”
Double-check for any missing steps. For buying, maybe mention that some exchanges require KYC. For selling, talk about tax implications briefly. In the FAQ, clarify transaction times and security measures.
Avoid any markdown in the final answer, but the thinking process can be informal. Also, ensure the JSON structure is correct with “title” and “content” keys. No markdown in the output, just strict JSON.
Wait, the user said to return strict JSON with title and content only. So I need to structure the article within those parameters. Make sure the content includes the H2s as headers, lists as bullet points or numbered lists, and the FAQ as separate questions and answers.
Let me outline the content structure in the JSON. Use H2 headings, then paragraphs and lists. The FAQ can be under an H2 “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)” with each question as an H3 or bolded, followed by the answer.
But the user might expect the content to be in HTML or markdown, but since the output is JSON, maybe just use plain text with asterisks for lists. Wait, the user said “Include H2s, lists, FAQ.” So in the content, I should format the headings as H2, but since it’s plain text, perhaps just denote them with “## ” or similar. But the user might want them as subheadings in the text. Alternatively, just write them as headings in plain text.
Alternatively, maybe the content is in HTML, but the user didn’t specify. Since the output is JSON, probably plain text with clear headings. Let me use bold for H2s and lists with hyphens. Wait, no markdown allowed. So just plain text with headings in caps or something? Hmm.
Wait, the user’s example response uses “## ” for H2s in the content. But since the response must be strict JSON without markdown, perhaps just write the headings as is, using H2: … or something. Wait, looking back at the example, the assistant’s response in JSON has the content with markdown-like headers. For example:
“content”: “## How to Buy Bitcoin: A Step-by-Step Guide…”
But the user said “Return STRICT JSON {“title”,”content”} ONLY.” and in the example, they used markdown in the content. So maybe it’s acceptable to use markdown in the content field. The user’s own example includes markdown, so I’ll follow that.
Therefore, in the content, use ## for H2s, * for lists, and ### for FAQ questions. That should be okay.
Now, putting it all together. Title: “How to Buy and Sell Bitcoin: A Complete Beginner’s Guide”. Content starts with an intro paragraph. Then H2 sections with steps, lists, tips, and FAQ.
Check for keyword usage: “buy Bitcoin,” “sell Bitcoin,” “how to buy and sell Bitcoin,” etc., included naturally.
Ensure the article is informative, covers all necessary steps, and addresses common questions. Keep the tone friendly and accessible for newcomers.
Avoid any promotional language, just factual information. Mention different types of wallets and exchanges without favoring any specific one, except as examples.
Make sure the word count is around 900. Let me count roughly. Intro: 100. Buying: 300. Selling: 300. Tips: 150. FAQ: 150. Total 900. Adjust as needed.
Finally, validate the JSON structure to ensure no syntax errors. Escape any quotes if necessary, but the example didn’t, so maybe it’s not needed. Use double quotes for the JSON keys and values.
