3.8: How to Buy BTC and ETH — Other Options

There are many other exchanges that will take your fiat and allow you to exchange for BTC, ETH, or other cryptos. Some are easier to use than Coinbase Pro, but all are more expensive in our experience.

There are also an increasing number of ways to purchase cryptos using a more traditional finance approach — including PayPal and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These will be covered in a later module.

We maintain a list of exchanges to avoid and those we believe to be scams (see Modules 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11). If you want our opinion on any site, please don't hesitate to ask.
