When I wanted to gain access to Bitcoin and Etherium quickly, so that I could invest in a particular ICO, I put together a small file that I could use for different approaches to buying Bitcoin and Etherium. I thought it would be a good idea to share that info with those of you looking for the Cryptocurrency on ramps.
That file has been expanded into this article designed to help assist you in your quest to buy and store crypto. Some of these approaches are nearly instant; some require much more time to change fiat (aka standard money) into crypto.
Personally, I like the idea of using a private encrypted email and as instant of a process as possible.
It is a good idea to get a wallet first, and BACK IT UP! Play around with it and get acquainted before having more than a couple dollars worth in it.
