Thank you! Hope to get relevant views, that can be tricky! My hope is will be google searchable in some time.

Pfff... what are you saying? Just because I'm a minnow I'm not relevant?! LOL Just kidding, I know I'm not. ;)

No, no. I meant people who understand crypto well, minnows here or not notwithstanding!

I was just kiddin'! :)

I just signed up for a Bittrex account this evening and watched a few Youtube videos on how to use it. Then, I made my very first Bitcoin purchase on Coinbase (an account I've had for a while to cash out the Steem Dollars I've earned here in the past). It's just a wee bit of Bitcoin, just to test the waters. When it hits my Coinbase account, I will move it to Bittrex, and make some small crypto purchases based on things I've seen recommended on Steemit. If it goes well, I'll buy more. I may have missed out on the .com boom because I didn't see the potential, but I see the potential in crypto. I won't miss out on this one, if I can help it. :)

Try this guy on YouTube. Good for beginners. I have to brush up too. Just so little time :cry:

Thanks for the video share, @buzzbeergeek! I will definitely give it a watch. I need all the advice I can get to make sure I do this correctly and don't make stupid mistakes.

@stephmckenzie So would it be weird if I copied you? ;) Just kidding... kinda. I have a lot of research to do - but I'm going to start with Coinbase and Bittrex. Thanks for the help! Any thoughts on Litecoin?
@buzzbeergeek thank you for the video! Watching now.

Litecoin has the backing of Google, from what I understand, and seems to be trending upward. It's priced relatively low right now, so I think it may be a good buy. I've definitely been considering it. There are also some coins that are priced even lower than Litecoin that I've read other investors on here recommending, because they think they are going to go way up soon (so now is the time to get in). Pivx and Swarm City are two I can think of off the top of my head. I'm also considering CannabisCoin, because it's backed by a real product, and it's a product I believe in. I think it could go somewhere. Mind you, these are just my own thoughts on the subject, and I'm a beginner. But, I have been researching and educating myself about crypto. I want to be smart about it.
