Only problem is I cannot buy the currency with dollars. I ended actually just joining coinbase, wasn't thrilled I had to use that particular service but not a whole lot of options in the US. Worked fine..
I did download Jaxx wallet to keep it secure with me than some company, next I will download that to a hard wallet. Just a beginner. I did just look at shapeshift but that looks like a way to transfer to one crypto to another, right?
