Today I started playing around with crypto. Don't know anything about it and none of it makes any sense right now. Gona slowly give a try though.

I'm using the PayPal / USDT / Solana Crypto Guide 10.21.25 pined to this forum. Right now I'm at the point of trying to buying Sol through Jupiter in the amount of $10. When selecting payment type no mater which one I choose (paypal, CC, debit card, Google pay) I get redirect to yet another app.

I have no idea why I need to go through the above process but I think it's referred to as buying "gas money"? Also not sure of how much to by. Just following the guide.

When I do get to these other apps like moon pay they all want my social number and or a photo. MY whole life I've been very cautious about giving out my social to anyone/anything. My question is... Is this a nessasary requirement and is there any way around this? Maybe I'm paranoid but it seems very risky giving out your social to these apps not really knowing any about them or who/what they are.
