I have an old account with TD Ameritrade - and money leftover in that account - and mistakenly believed I could buy crypto. What's a safe platform (understanding that "safe" is a relative term) to make a purchase?
Is Coinbase the consensus platform?
Something else?
you don't have to buy the whole coin. Let's say you have 5000 and bitcoin drops to 25k. You could buy 1/5th of a coin. whatever percentage gain as it goes up would apply to your investment. you can buy a smaller piece even. Don't use coinbase for small transactions because their fees will destroy your margin if you are investing in the dips and rises.
I didn't realize that's how it worked, thanks!
