I was like you just a couple of months back.

What follows is strictly not financial advice but rather my very basic response to your question.

I've set up and tested two exchanges: Independent Reserve Australia and BTC Markets.

Both have been safe and easy enough to use.

I prefer BTC as it has better charts and super quick transfers out of crypto and into your bank account in fiat.

There's a bit of a learning curve, which is interesting if one likes to think about trading/value/the future etc.

But the good thing about crypto is there is no minimum investment like the ASX.

So, you can chuck low risk amounts ($10 or say $100) into your account/s and have a play around.

In effect, it's a great way of initially learning by doing for a very small risk/cost.

All the best.
