whats the best way to go about buy crypto
what exchanges are easiest to work with
Honestly, buying crypto in the US is kinda stuffty. All-in-all I think Coinbase is the easiest and least intrusive exchange to buy on, but they have been facing issues with the IRS specifically targeting them asking for user records. They also have shown some other signs of potential instability, and only deal in Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum; so you'll be out of luck there if you want to trade anything else. Kraken is probably my favorite exchange since they offer the best security options and have tons of trading pairs, but their verification process seems kinda needlessly intrusive (requires photo id, proof of residence [bank statement or credit card bill], address, SSN, and a photo of yourself holding your id and a very specific handwritten note).
