We're in the right sector at the right time. If you speak to 100 people maybe a couple of them might have heard of bitcoin and one may actually understand what it is and what blockchain technology is. We're at the innovator / early adopters stage IMO.

Easiest way to store and buy coins is on an exchange but that comes with its associated risks. I recommend Bittrex as it's popular fairly easy to use and you can activate 2FA for extra security.

Safest way is to have your own wallet where you own the private keys (I recommend MyEtherWallet for ETH and ERC20 tokens and Exodus for a few of the mainstream coins - they are adding more every few weeks).

If you are risk adverse and hate volatility and losing up to 50% of your portfolio's value at a moment notice the crypto space may not be for you, but if you play the market well and have rational position sizes you can make a lot of money.
