Ok folks, I am just learning about Bitcoin and the crypto currency thing and what I have found out so far is that it can be very complicated for some people. That being said, while I am learning about this I thought that I would write this down somewhere so that others can learn from my experience.
So far the best way for me to get into the market is to go to a site called Coinbase. ( https://www.coinbase.com ) There you can buy some Bitcoin with bank account and/or a credit card etc... (other sites that i have found will only accept certain methods of payment) Then you can send it to either a market and trade it for other types of crypto's or a wallet and store it.
To now, the best market for me has been Poloniex ( https://poloniex.com/ ) and the best wallet for me has been Jaxx ( https://jaxx.io/support.html ).
!BE SURE TO WRITE ALL YOUR PASSWORDS DOWN AND/OR KEEP THEM IN A SAFE PLACE!
Evidently there are many, many more options out there but so far this has been my experience. Again, I am still very new to this concept so do your own research but if this helps anyone in any way it will have been worth the time to post it. Good luck everyone and welcome to the future!
