Agree with SD on just about everything, but obviously it depends on your specific goals.
If you’re in it for relatively safe long term investment, I definitely think ETH and BTC are the way to go at the moment. Those are basically the 1A/1B gold standard. If you’re chasing a huge upside and excitement, there are tons of alternatives that have compelling arguments for them. Not exactly my thing though.
Now is as good a time as any to get started. Most of the money I invested was when ETH/BTC were higher than they are now.
And agree Coinbase Pro is probably the simplest & safest option for an exchange since it’s a public company. Again, that’s if you trend conservative. I’m sure you can find another option with lower transaction fees.
