Buy CHAOS using crypto

Of all the great things people have said about the blockchain, nobody ever said it's simple. This guide explains how you can buy crypto and then how to transfer that crypto to purchase your NFT. Irrespectively of the NFT, by the end of this tutorial, you will have gone through all the common processes that are the building blocks of becoming familiar with this space including: buying crypto-money, setting up new wallets to transfer crypto-money, and securely transferring crypto-money.

Therefore, beyond the actual NFT, this guide also serves as a stepping stone for entering the world of blockchain. Where, in order to use any such platform, a so-called dapp (decentralised app), or to support financially any dapp (e.g. because the project sounds fascinating and because in this world there are no corporations involved and thankfully you are not **the product; so platform creators rely on crypto investors for funding) or even to buy some crypto for your child's fund (why not), all of that, all it has to do with, is buying and transferring crypto-money; which is what this guide is all about.

Step 1: Setup an account with a crypto exchange

To buy a NFT you need crypto-money (often referred to as cryptocurrency, tokens or crypto). If you already hold crypto-money, please go straight to Step 2. There are various ways to buy crypto-money. The easiest and arguably most secure way to buy crypto is by creating an account with one of the leading centralised exchanges. Especially for people who are new to the crypto space, major crypto exchanges are highly recommended as they protect you both from theft and malicious attacks (as they make extensive use of 2-factor-authentication), but also from personal error (e.g. most commonly losing or forgetting the so called "secret phrase", which is your one-and-only, unchangeable key for decentralised wallets) that could get you locked out of your own wallet irreversibly. As you become more proficient managing crypto-money, you can always move to anonymised and decentralised solutions.
