How to buy cryptocurrency

Buying cryptocurrency can be a little scary. But it opens up a whole new world on the blockchain, and it's totally worth it.

Here are the key steps to getting started:

Get yourself a crypto wallet

Optional - If your wallet has a browser then it will be best to do this step using the wallet browser. If your wallet is a browser extension then that will work too. Otherwise, don't worry, you can still buy.

'Processing Time' is how long your payment takes for that payment method.
