Also, if you’re unfamiliar with cryptocurrency, here’s everything you need to know:
What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to be used over the internet, according to Coinbase. It’s decentralized, meaning it isn’t controlled by the government or any other central authority such as a bank.
You can use cryptocurrency to buy products from retailers who accept it as payment, such as Overstock, or sell it to make a profit.
Where can I buy cryptocurrency?
Coinbase is one of the most popular cryptocurrency trading platforms. If you sign up for a regular Coinbase account, you will receive $5 worth of bitcoin for free upon verification of ID.
Bitcoin is the most popular type of cryptocurrency. Other well-known cryptocurrencies include Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Ethereum and Tether.
Here are some other places where you can buy cryptocurrency:
You can also buy cryptocurrency on Venmo.
How much does it cost to buy cryptocurrency?
To invest, you don’t have to buy one entire cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin — you can buy just a fraction. One Bitcoin is currently worth over $40,000, whereas one Dogecoin is not even worth 15 cents.
Ultimately, it depends on which cryptocurrency you’re buying. Each has a different price and market value.
