Coinbase is more expensive than others, but its very easy one.
Coinbase isn't expensive. It's cheaper than ATMs and localbitcoins.com. Coinbase is also safer than PayPal. Use Coinbase, keep a little bit there for spending but move most of your coins elsewhere...to an offline wallet.
For all topics Bitcoin, check out the
BTC Sessions YouTube channel. It's phenomenal.
Welcome to the world of Bitcoin, bud. We're glad to have you here!
