RE: Confessions of a Crypto Noob: WTF Are AltCoins?!
If your a Noob, what does that make me? A blissful ignorant? lol
A couple of months ago, I spent hours trying to figure out a way to get my hands on cryptocurrency from the coziness of my home and without sharing with a stranger online any piece/proof of identity, but that seemed impossible from where I am, here in Montreal. Is there a way for me to buy, say Bitcoins, simply by using a PayPal account, a credit card or by safe way of bank account transfer? Also, do you have a suggestion on how/where I should create a crypto account? Any input might help, hope you don't mind all these ''Real Noob'' questions. ;-P

Hi @heroic15397 Something I learned is that it's going to vary wildly depending on country. Financial regulations from governments have a tendency to get in the way time to time, or at least they'll want to know some information about you. I would say your best bet would be Circle (or Circle Pay) App. You'll want to start up a "wallet" as well. There's different kinds: A paper wallet (where you literally write your wallet address on paper), a hardware wallet (a physical device, like usb drive, that stores your cryptos), or a digital wallet (an app like MyCellium or Jaxx). So, the idea is add money or add debit/credit card to Circle Pay, then send it to your bitcoin wallet address (don't worry, Circle automatically sends the money as Bitcoin). Hope this helps and thanks for reading!
Helps a lot! Merci beaucoup. :-)
