Once you have researched crypto currency and find the different crypto wallets for example: ethereum or ERC-20 tokens (Google it) Myetherwallet also known as MEW or some other wallet...you may find it daunting at first and second and third.  Please, don't give up.  if you get frustrated walk away and come back to it another time.   You will eventually take the leap into the unknown and just do it.  It took me several tries with me thinking that I would never get it, never understand.   But, I was determined to not give up.  Once you take the leap and create your wallet and write down all the flippin' numbers for your private key and your password.  You will sit there in front of the computer...amazed.  Then, you might even think...Hmmmm that wasn't so hard....and then you will do it again...and then you will want to make wallets for your friends and crypto will continue to grow.     

One thing is for sure, there is a never ending supply of information and the learning could probably take a lifetime.  So, if you are determined to learn this thing called cryptocurrency, sit back, read and enjoy the ride.
