I've been scouring the internet trying to find out anything an everything relevant to cryptocurrency. Some searches have crashed miserably at dead ends. Others just weren't user friendly enough for a Noob.
Below you'll discover the website, apps and groups that have really helped me feel more competent moving forward on my crypto journey.
Robinhood (3/5)
In this article I discussed how Robinhood failed me in my first go at purchasing and trading crypto. It's still a very user friendly app with a nice UI, and you can get your "feet wet".

COIN App (4/5)
This great free gaming app really made me feel comfortable in an almost game-like fashion knowing after a little time, I could accumulate some in-game currency that I could transfer to a wallet and experiment with sending/receiving, trading and not worry about messing up with real money. It took me 9 days of geomining, surveys and mini-games to accumulate the 10,000 COIN necessary to redeem for XYO. I'm still amassing a pile but every 10k COIN* is roughly equivalent to $5.00 as of this writing.

PI Network (5/5)
i really like this one, a lot. Download, run the app, and start collecting what could be a really big deal in the future. Read the information available and decide for yourself but it's definitely got me interested. This app is by invite only, so I'd greatly appreciate you using mine!

BANANO/ Kalium Wallet (4/5)
I found out about BANANO through Reddit. It's a meme coin with a great community. Take a break from the serious side of things and catch up on a bunch of comments about potassium.

Coinbase Learn (5/5)
This! I love this. Watch some videos, take a quiz and earn real crypto you can do as you wish with. I've got $33 in the last week from COINBASE Learn. I don't know about you, but I love free stuff!

KuCoin(4/5)
This exchange really breaks my brain. SO... FREAKING... MUCH INFORMATION!!! But, you can take your time, no one is rushing you. Plus, you can trade the XYO you're going to receive from the COIN App. Did I mention? So much information!
r/Cryptocurrency (4/5)
Learnna lot, laugh some, and don't forget to set up your Vault so you can earn some of those MOONS and BRICKS. I'm really intrigued by the giant leap Reddit is taking into the future with these tokens. They're not easy to earn for those of us who are just getting started, but if you're as much of a nerd as I am, you're going to work for them.

Brave Browser (4/5)
This is an internet browser where you can earn BAT just by surfing the web. It's very similar to Google's Chrome Browser, so although you'll have to set up rewards, basically you'll import your settings and feel right at home in no time.
Download Brave Browser
Thanks again for reading. This is not a definitive method for those that want to get started with crypto. It's simply what I've learned and what's helped me. Good luck and may the Moon just be the first stop in your reach for the stars!
