Too Tall,
Nice see you here.

You are correct. You first open account in Coinbase or GDax or others. Now most international brokers don't take us customers and you have to choose brokers in US.then deposit your money in your account. Have to buy wallets before buying bitcoin. After that, use dollar to buy bitcoin. Once you have bitcoin in your account, can trade with other cryptocurrency in Coinbase or other international brokers if there is cryptos you are interested. You can trade in any brokers you want as long as you have your wallet address. I just learned this stuff on last two days and wait for a few days or weeks before purchasing my first coin to see if cryptocurrency goes up or down because never know how the Wallstreet treats cryptocurrency. It seems that itoa could become one of the major cryptocurrencies in the future, and plan buy a few thousands. It could make a huge amount of money by time I am 70s. Look at how people make huge amount of money by investment in bitcoin back to 2009.

June 2010 1 Bitcoin = 0.07 USD
