Here's a short tutorial to guide you in creating your ethereum wallet address if you have not made one yet.

Since acquiring a BTC address is more easier and simplier than ethereum but don't worry as I will show you step by step how.

Just prepare either a flash drive or directly save to your computer on how you prefer to store those keystore files later.

First go to myetherwallet.com and you will be directed to their homepage as shown below.

Simply input a strong password and save it later, make sure not to forget your password so I advise to save on notepad or write on your personal notebook then click on create new wallet as shown above.
