Hello Steemians,
By reading posts from several new users I have noticed not everyone is here for cryptocurrencies and there is many people who don't know their use and how to get into this world. For you guys, I have written this post that I think will help you if you haven't started yet and are not sure how or where to start. I was once in the same boat and have just entered this new investment.
For many of you out there still speculating on cryptocurrency and wondering if it is still late to get in, just remember people thought they were late when the price of 1 Bitcoin was $1000. There is huge potential in the cryptocurrency world and you can exploit it by investing smartly, people who invested in Bitcoin early days are possibly now millionaires or have accumulated a load of wealth. I encourage those of you who are unsure just like I was to research on google, youtube, etc. There is plenty of information available on both sides of the spectrum and decide for yourselves which path you want to take.
To buy/sell we will be using coinbase which supports three different cryptocurrencies:
The reason I chose coinbase its due to its security and the user friendly interface where anyone who send an email would be able to buy and sell these coins. Before you can do this you will have to set up a intermediary bank and verify your details.
What follows is pretty self explanatory.
*If you pay with a debit or credit card the fees are slightly higher, I suggest you transfer funds from your bank account.
As you can see it is very easy to buy and sell cryptocurrency with an easy to use website like coinbase.
If you haven't opened your account yet you will get $10 worth of digital currency when a friend buys or sells $100 or more, and you'll both earn $10 of bitcoin. Start out by using the following link

Coinbase however doesn't support every country especially in South America where I am from (Peru) so there is different ways of purchasing cryptocurrency which I will cover in a later post.
