Getting started with Bitcoin and Alt-Coin trading!

CoinBase, or, The "Main Hub" as I like to call it, is where you will want to start. From here, you can buy or sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin. This is also where you'll move funds back into your bank account!

This first step is to sign up for a Coinbase account. This will give you a secure place to store your bitcoin, and easy payment methods to convert your money into or out of bitcoin.

After you sign up, connect your bank account. You'll need to complete some verification steps before you can use the account. Once the verification steps are complete, you can start a purchase. You can also sync up with a debit/credit card.

After starting your first purchase, they'll complete your buy and deliver your bitcoin. (Sells work the same way but in reverse). The price of bitcoin changes over time, so they'll show you the current exchange rate before you buy.

Now for the best exchange to trade Alt-Coins! https://bittrex.com

Bittrex is a really easy to use exchange, with a very clean UI. I caught on to it very quickly, my favorite part about it that fact that it shows how much a coin costs in USD, even though you're buying it with BTC.

Example:
You can see there in the top right in the "Last" row, above the BTC price.

Now there isn't an app for Bittrex(yet), you'll be doing this all on your computer. The wesbite again is, https://bittrex.com. Happy trading!
