--------------------

If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc.

For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase: Trading, just start with Binance: sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)

Don't have a hardware wallet?

Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc)

Get a Ledger: you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)
