Watch Bitcoin videos by Andreas Antonopoulos to gain a better understanding of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. Do as much of your own research and reading as you can. As for getting started, I would recommend Coinbase, as this is the easiest and most secure way of putting money into bitcoin at the moment.

I sat my 7yr old son down and showed him my ledger nano and how to use it in case anything ever happens to me.
I explained there is electronic money on it and it will be his one day. Went through the process of wiping it and restoring with the seed. But reminded him never ever tell anyone about it is our secret.

He's a smart kid and was amazed at how it's secured by an extremely complex code and that no one can steal the money you can take it anywhere and it's safer than a bank because the ledger is a bank itself (i know that's not quite correct but still). I didn't tell him how much are on there but told him one day it will be extremely valuable that's why I'm telling him about it is for him when he grows up.

Later that day we talked about how to secure the seed and printing it on a metal plate. He thinks it is so cool.

It amazed me how a child instantly understood it and showed how cryptos are for the future generations not us. We are early adopters so buy at least 1 bitcoin for your kids. Just might set them up for life.

I have bought and I own some NEO coins. So, you can make conclusions what I would answer to this question. That being said, NEO doesnt make a big part in my crypto portfolio. There are several reasons why it has lots of potential but I still believe that Ethereum will be a winner in the future of those two coins.

It might seem obvious but people nowadays miss the fact you can use bitcoin to buy stuff. That ""hodl!"" mentality was not that strong back in 2013 when I first came across that ""magic internet money"".I don't know how it feels buying two pizzas for $35m but I have bought quite a lot of games through humble bundle and seeing them to not look great deals after all is not that great. But if we really need to see that mass adoption coming anytime soon we need to push for merchant adoption. We need people getting paid in bitcoin and people willing to pay in bitcoin. Stop yelling a misspelled word made by an a drunk autistic ""trader"" from 2013.

Bitcoin Vs Ethereum
Ethereum is a Blockchain network developed to facilitate the growth of decentralized applications (DApps). Its native token Ether was not designed to operate as a digital currency. Rather, Ether is used as gas or fee to fuel DApps launched on top of the Ethereum protocol. since its launch in 2009, Bitcoin has been developed and designed to operate as a settlement network. The vast majority of investors currently consider Bitcoin as a safe haven asset, digital gold, settlement network and long-term investment but as Bitcoin deals with ideal scaling solutions, it will evolve into a better digital currency over time.

I'm currently buying Bitcoins at buycoinnow.com because they have the lowest fee to purchase via credit card/dotpay with all places offering to buy cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is new technology with unique features - it is immutable ledger that holds amounts and stores transfers of these. It is immune to censorship and other attacks. It is also immune to confiscation by authorities (either direct or indirect via inflation). At the beginning (year 2009) bitcoins had no value, but the properties listed above became interesting for people so those people who weren't mining wanted some and offered first trades for fiat (dollars). So, first value was established like that. Then, this was reinforced - more people saw that bitcoins can be sold - and that the unique feats of Bitcoin are applicable to storing/transferring/keeping value.
