Ok, I've done it! After some research about where and how to buy I decided on Coinbase. I signed up and bought my very first bitcoin.
A staggering 100$ worth. I know this is a tiny tiny amount but I'm planning to take this slow, learn more about the platform and the way it works before I (possibly) invest more! Very excited nonetheless!
Let me know in the comments below if you have any advice for my next steps, more posts soon!
