I've been reading some online posts and I'm getting ready to purchase my first bitcoins. Can someone please answer the questions below before I head out to a bitcoin atm?

    1.All of my purchases will be over the internet such as paying for a VPN. I don't see myself doing front facing transactions. Do you guys recommend just sticking with a desktop app such as Bitcoin Core (I have Windows). Is having a mobile app (Copay) more easier to purchase Bitcoin over an ATM?

    2.The closest ATM to me is a Genesis Coin ATM. If I dl Copay should I be good to go?

    3.Anything else I should know about?
