EXCHANGES
Register for as many as possible to widen your opportunities! These are basically online secure banks for buying/selling crypto.
First, call your bank & find out if they allow transactions to move money to the following platforms: Coinbase, Gemini Exchange, Kraken. These exchanges interface with regular banks, the other exchanges are just for buying/selling crypto (you cannot send USD to these). You will first start with the above (all 3 if you can!), then transfer some BTC/ETH/LTC to Binance, Kucoin, Cryptopia & other exchanges if you plan to get into buying/selling the other alt coins.
