Okay, so assuming you know nothing about cryptocurrency, here's where to begin:
Coinbase is probably your best starting point. It allows you to convert your fiat into a few select coins. Coinbase offers Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin. If you were to buy one of these, I'd recommend either Ethereum or Litecoin. These are decent coins to hold, but a lot of people (including myself) have found lots of profits and luck with alt-coins, which is what Ethereum and Litecoin were at one point but have now mostly became their own thing. These are coins that are trying to fix issues that other coins have, such as huge transaction fees and transaction times. At this stage, your best bet is to just do research. You can use Coin Market Cap (

If something catches your eye, look it up and read articles, watch videos, check out their website and anything else you can to find out exactly what they're offering. At that point you just have to use your judgement to decide if it's worth investing in or not.

Just keep in mind that some shilled coins can be complete shit and not worth investing in at all but this makes it so you don't have to look at Coin Market Cap or whatever else trying to find some good options.
Buying these alt coins is a bit more involved than just converting fiat to crypto. You'll have to buy them on exchanges and not all exchanges have every coin. Some coins might only be available on one exchange which can make investing in newer coins more difficult. But once you find an exchange with whatever you're looking to buy on it, you'll need to send some crypto to that exchange so you can buy your alt coin. Some exchanges only allow Bitcoin, some allow Ethereum and Litecoin but you'll have to convert them to Bitcoin on the exchange, and some exchanges allow you to buy alt coins with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin directly; it really just depends on the exchange. Typically, you'll want to avoid transferring Bitcoin between wallets because at the moment, transaction fees and wait times are stupid long. Ethereum and Litecoin are much cheaper and much faster to send which is why you should try your best to find an exchange that lets you buy alts with them. Binance (

At this point, you should be ready to buy whatever coins you want. I probably forgot to include some shit but hopefully this helps you decide if it's something you want to do or not. Feel free to ask any questions and I can try my best to help.
