The two "big" Crypto's are Bitcoin (the OG) and Ethereum (ETH). There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of other coins but all flow through ETH/BTC (mostly BTC). As a trader you will mostly be trading your $$ into Bitcoin to invest in these other coins.

Where do I go if I want to get in on this???

The only ways to buy bitcoin/ethereum with your dollars are through these things called exchanges.

Examples of exchanges: (links to each exchange will be added later)

(Dollars -> BTC/ETH)

Coinbase- most newb friendly/high fees. You can buy Bitcoins and Ethereum here with your dollars.

~~~RECOMMENDED EXCHANGES (for US brahs)~~~

GDAX- owned by Coinbase. Lower fees. Cons - requires a SSN which not everyone is comfortable with

Gemini- low fees, nice interface. Cons - Takes time to get verified so you can make deposits

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kraken- Similar wait time to get verified as Gemini, if not longer. I don't personally use Kraken but others do

Canadian brahs useQuadrigaCX

from these above exchanges, you can take your dollars and convert them to Ethereum or Bitcoins. Now..you could just hold these coins and be happy, or you could explore into the world of alt coins.

(BTC -> alt coins)

Bittrex

Poloniex

Kraken also has a altcoins, being one of the only exchanges with USD -> BTC/ETH as well as BTC/ETH -> alt coins

Liquio,EtherDelta,Bitfinexare some other exchanges

Binance

General security tips

Also consider getting a Nano Ledger/off-exchange wallet

[General investing tips]

-!!!!GOLDEN RULE!!! - Don't invest more than you are willing to lose. Crypto can be great profits but it can all disappear in an instant as well

-Do YOUR OWN research on any coin before making an investment in it. Don't just listen to some other person and buy it without doing your due diligence. A lot of people will talk up any coin they own shares up (shilling) while some may even spread FUD about other coins

-General ideas of coins with potential: good dev team, solid community (active subreddit/slack channels), small market cap (WITH POTENTIAL TO GROW), and of course..a great product

-Veterans (me not being one of them as I'm about a month deep in crypto) stress to HODL - Don't panic sell your coins just because they're having a bad day. If you believe in the coin, the technology, and the devs...BUY THE ****ING DIP!!
