Best way if you're a newbie to this world is try earning crypto, here you can earn steem and SBD with posting content and commenting other people's posts, then you can convert it to bitcoin or ethereum whenever you want ! that's the simplest way ; I'm like you but haven't yet managed to find a trustful site to put fiat money into ; coinbase is a joke, and I'm waiting for bitpanda to verify my account to check if it's interesting without much fees. But you'll see the amount of virtual money you can earn by just posting on here and interacting here everyday is interesting !
