this might sound stupid, but does anyone know how/where i can invest in crypto?

im a beginner in investing & crypto. i saw that there was a new currency that has potential and i really wanted to invest. only thing is that i have NO idea how to begin and what apps/platforms to use. are there any trusted apps/websites you use? how do i learn more about this?

i asked some people who dabble in crypto but they're all so secretive about it and don't wanna give me any information. if there are any youtube videos i am more than open to watch them & learn!

any advice & tips would be GREATLY appreciated.

edit: i just made an account on coinbase! hopefully thats a good start? edit pt2: ppl are saying coinbase is bad? is this true? should i delete my account? others r saying kraken is a good one?
