HomeBrand,

I highly recommend Coinspot over other Exchanges.

To cut a long story short, I first bought into BTC around 2013. Used Coinjar exchange, which imo was a huge mistake. Very limited.
Also used some of the other exchanges as well where I lost a lot of coins.
That was in the early cowboy days.
It has come along way since then.

I only use Coinspot now because it is a very safe exchange and if you have any issues they will get back to you quickly, unlike Coinjar. It has many Alt coins to trade, if that is what you want to do.
Important to buy an offline storage wallet. I have Ledger Nano X which has a live plug-in. Very handy.
Coinspot recommends not holding your coins at their exchange. For good reason too. That applies to any exchange.

Since 2013, the Crypto market has come a very long way.
You are not too late getting into crypto. The important thing is to do a lot of research, especially if you are going to buy into the Alt coin market.

For me I invest in both BTC and Ethereum as they are the future.
Both different animals. But, the same eco system. I view BTC as the store of wealth, whilst Ethereum is the building block to gain wealth. The Alt Coins are a passage for start-ups to grow and hopefully make a lot of money along the way. Many won't make it. That is the risk. Also a good reason to DYOR and not listen to a friend of a friend.

If you want to learn about the Crypto space, head over to Nugget's News. A wealth of knowledge and plenty of free resources for anyone wanting to learn. Also, his Youtube vids are great as well.

Agree 100% with you on all points raised above.
I have only invested with CoinSpot for 6 weeks and have also found them very user friendly, efficient and reliable. Deposits made and withdrawlhs to and from Australian bank account using POLI system quick (for deposits from your bank account to CoinSpot) & normal BSB Bank ac deposit for any withdraw but takes up to 2 days cleared funds (yes I have actually taken some profit out for some share purchase acquittals) - with no comissions. Another foreign crypto trading system I used for 2 years did not allow me to withdraw and kept calling to push for more deposits with them.
By the way, I am currently up 32% on my investment in 6 weeks, but I did view a lot of YouTube videos, read Hot Copper and also checked some of the crypto websites before I invested in around 12 cryptocoins always remembering they are a store of value and can be just as easily diminished in value at the whim of the market. But then again some of small cap stocks are not much better and loss making whilst others a re winners.
