as with any gambling, do not put in more than you're willing to part with.

odds are against you making any money, and if you do, there are people out there smarter than you that will figure out a way to keep it from you.

Create an account on a trading site. I’ve generally had good experience with gemini.com. You’ll have to do the whole legal process of confirming your identity with a government ID because they report your profits/losses to the IRS for capital gains taxes. From there, you can use a credit card or bank transfer to buy. Once you have some, you can try to transfer it to another wallet or another exchange to “anonymize” it, but keep in mind that it’s all traceable given sufficient effort by someone trying to track it down. Some currencies are better at hiding that stuff (Monero, maybe?).

If you really want something close to anonymity and quick and easy, your best bet is to find someone you know in real life and give them cash to transfer to your offline wallet.

The easiest and cheapest way is to sign up at a regular exchange and buy Bitcoin Cash (BCH) https://bitcoincash.org/

If you want to buy with credit card take a look at https://trocador.app/

If you want strong privacy then you can try https://retoswap.com/ but it is more difficult and expensive.

Here is some BCH to get you started the right way. Download Selene wallet and just scan to claim https://selene.cash/
