Introduction

Welcome to the crypto jungle! If you’ve ever felt like cryptocurrency is a foreign language, think of this guide as your trusty Rosetta Stone. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have:

• Purchased Ethereum (ETH) or TON directly using fiat currency.
• Set up your own decentralized wallets on the Ethereum and TON blockchains.
• Swapped TON for the elusive $PRO, $HERB, $CATCH and $QUACK tokens.

And no, you won’t need a degree in computer science or a magic wand to do it!

Prerequisites

Before we embark on this digital adventure, make sure you have:

• A computer or smartphone with internet access (carrier pigeons won’t cut it).
• A valid ID for verification (because even in the digital world, bureaucracy persists).
• A willingness to follow instructions carefully (or at least a strong cup of coffee to help you focus).

Understanding Exchanges and Wallets

What is a Cryptocurrency Exchange?

A cryptocurrency exchange is like a digital bazaar where you can trade your regular money (fiat currency) for cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH) and TON. Think of it as the Wall Street of the digital world, minus the suits.

Popular Exchanges:

• Coinbase: www.coinbase.com
• Binance: www.binance.com

What is a Cryptocurrency Wallet?

A cryptocurrency wallet is your personal vault in the digital realm. It allows you to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies securely. It’s like your own Fort Knox, but without the pesky guards.

Types of Wallets:

• Hot Wallets: Connected to the internet (e.g., MetaMask, Tonkeeper). Convenient but more susceptible to cyber threats
• Cold Wallets: Offline storage (e.g., hardware wallets like Ledger). Highly secure but less convenient for frequent transactions.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Wallets
