I really don't suggest buying any cryptocurrency besides bitcoin, but you do you.

1. Buy some bitcoin in your preferred exchange(Kraken[1], Gemini[2], etc). If you don't want fees, I'm afraid your only choice is to do it peer-to-peer through platforms like Bisq[3] and Hodl Hodl[4], which can be slightly harder to use.

Each person here has different preferences when talking about exchanges, as people here live in different countries.

2. Send over the BTC to exchanges such as Binance[5], and exchange your BTC for whatever altcoin you want.

3. Withdraw the coins, preferably to a non-custodial wallet[5].

Ledger allows you to buy cryptocurrencies through their Ledger Live. The coins will be directly sent to your hardware wallet. That is kind of safe. For the fees, they charge 4.5% for credit card and only 1.7% for bank transfers.^[1]

If you want to buy without paying any fee, try opening a Coinbase account and make a fiat deposit. They don't charge you for that. With a Coinbase account, you will also have an access to GDAX, their sister company. You need to move your funds from Coinbase to GDAX. Do the purchasing there for free.^[1] I took this from the article I linked below, published several months ago. Things could have changed since then. Never tested it myself.

Finally, you may also want to drop by BestChange.^[3] You can buy from there from a wide array of options. You can also compare their prices.

Please do your own research. Good luck!

If Binance support United states I will suggest you use it, it is most trusted and you have a chance to buy directly using your card, then look for a more secure desktop wallet or hardware wallet to store your btc, and about the fee, you don't worry much about it since you are buying to hold long term i believe.  Goodluck.


Then you are not ready to be here, like it or not this is how they operate,  you can keep digging and looking for where to buy cheap without fees, I just hope you don't fall in the hands of scammers   they will be happy to receive you.

You might try some recommendations from other members here especially for international exchanges using your credit card, pay pall or bank accounts. But you can also try to search some of the local exchange that you have in your country, though you might need to conduct KYC procedures, it is also beneficial especially if you want to sell bitcoins back to fiats if you need money. Maybe you could provide your country for us to further help you search available exchanges.

If you are looking to buy alt coin then you need to buy from exchange site.

I think there are some bitcoin machines located at the United States and you can buy bitcoins or other cryptocurrency there. You can also exchange or convert your dollars into cryptocurrency if you want.
There are so many ways on how you will be able to buy or obtain bitcoin, there are a lot of softwares or online exchangers that allows you to buy bitcoins and other cryptocurrency from them.

Can you access localbitcoin? If yes, you can try to search your local bitcoin sellers, and after you found, you can arrange an appointment with him to meet in one place, and you can make a deal with him. Or you can ask him to send the money to him before he sends the bitcoin amount. Another method is you can find local sellers from your city. Usually, this seller is available on facebook's group, so you can directly send a message to him/her. That is what I did if I want to buy bitcoin.

Jaxx Liberty? You need to use a credit card, which I am not recommending because that is too risky. It's better to find the local sellers from your city, so you can ask him directly everything you want to know.

There is no single universal way to purchase, options often depend on the regions or the needs of the buyer. Of course, in most cases you will have to pay a fee, otherwise you need to look for a person who will directly exchange the cryptocurrency for other money.

Just google about it and you will find plenty of information.
