Thank you all for the the info. Looks like I have to do some more research on the subject and educate myself on it. The site in question is called "coinbase". But here's another one for you... If I'm to get cryptocurrency online, I'm obviously not paying cash for it, so whether the purchase is made through company abc or xyz, they'll have my info, (i.e. my cc or PayPal, etc...) IOW, that's a traceable coz that how I'll most likely end up paying for these coins... Cheers!
