How to get bitcoins off of a paper wallet
You must download a mobile wallet app which has the ability to import bitcoins from a private key. A few of the more popular app that we see customers use for this are Electrum, Blockstream Green, Mycelium or Bitpay.**
Open up your bitcoin wallet and create a wallet.
Scan the private key (not the public key) QR code on your paper wallet.
Congratulations, the coins will automatically be available in your mobile wallet!
And remember to treat bitcoin like cash. If someone has access to your private keys, they have access to your bitcoin!
