Best links for learning to start a Crypto Wallet?

[Gr33dyOctopus]

Having a tough time navigating this site on my phone, and saw somewhere that someone had posted instructions but can't find it now.
I did order through a vendor that takes something other than crypto, but it was pretty expensive compared to what I can likely come up with if I just have a darn wallet. TY

Is it as simple as going to coin base and buying crypto and then transferring from there to a vendor wallet? I doubt that it is, but maybe???

Answering my own questions, found Crypto corner LOL

Here's my basic flow explained:
1) Buy USDC via Coinbase. (note: this can sometimes have a 5-10 business delay)
2) Send USDC to my Exodus Wallet.
3) Pay vendors from Exodus wallet.
4) ?????
5) Profit

There's plenty more ways to go about it but this is the cheapest and easiest for me.

I buy PYSD or bitcoin through PayPal (bitcoin will have a delay), then transfer to Exodus.

Once things are digital (like most everything these days, even w/traditional financial institutions), it's really not that different. Another way to think of it is that you're moving funds around before you can use a debit or credit card to make a purchase. Only in this case the accounts are through different banks so you need to make sure you plan ahead enough to move the proper funds around. People do the same thing all the time but they don't think about it since they're familiar with their bank's website. Well, you had to learn it one time early on to get to that point. IMO this is pretty similar if you think about it that way.

Yea, I am going to oppen an account after work on Coinbase, and drop some money in there. No hurry really, I have a ton of compounded Tirz, and I havent really figured out how to go after the stuff that people have tested here, or buyand join a test group, trying to get the feel of things, I'd like to make the best decisions possible when it comes to this gray market stuff.

I probably wouldn't recommend bitcoin for cryptocurrency novices. The volatility could mean they transfer money and by the time they get ready to make the purchase don't have enough to process. For that reason, stable coins are the play fo sho.

It seems like USDC transferred on the Ethereum network is about the most universal form of payment accepted in the "lowest fees" category. At least with the vendors I've seen anyway.

Paying a couple dimes here and a few nickels there to send a few hundred bucks from origination to product on your doorstep is pretty tolerable IMHO.

Yea, ty for that, Crypto volatility was a worry, as well as fees and such. I have bought reta from a vendor to try that accpts non crytpto payment, 200 for 100mg. Not so unhappy with that, and then thier tirz with a supossed recent coa is 290 for 600mg, wouldnt be unhappy with that either to be honest, i pay a LOT more than 50 cents a mg now. But I want to buy stuff that other members of this group are vouching for and that at least has the veneer of 3rd party testing. And that is gonna take crypto,
