If you’re a crypto beginner, one of your first questions will be, what do I need to get started with crypto?
You’re going to need a cryptocurrency wallet. Think of it like a digital version of a real-life wallet (minus the crumpled receipts and diner mints), where you’ll stash your digital coins.
There are hardware wallets, which are like fancy USB drives, and software wallets, which are apps on your phone or computer.
Then, you’ll need to pick an exchange, where you’ll swap your regular dollars for crypto. Some popular ones are Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken. Be prepared for some paperwork, because they’ll want to know you’re not a bot or a pirate.
Once you’re all set up, you can buy a smidgen of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any altcoin that catches your fancy and fits your budget.
Remember, the crypto seas are choppy, so don’t sail in with money you need for important stuff like rent or tacos. Lastly, keep educating yourself—crypto’s a rabbit hole with no bottom, and there’s always something new buzzing around. Happy investing!
