First of all, I see your thread is so effective. You provided a lot of information in one thread, really good. If I may add, when people buy some of the cryptocurrencies in central exchange (CEX), they need to know that there are fees charged by the exchangers (sometimes in deposit, in trading, and withdrawing). People should aware there are some exchanges that use fixed fees and some are using different fees depend on the currencies. DEX might also have it but they probably have a slightly different scheme.

I would add that you can buy altcoins on a CEX or a DEX. If you buy on a DEX you need to understand how to use a WEB3 wallet like Metamask normally, or if you use NEAR protocol, you can use a web wallet only with Ref Finance. It's a lot easier than using Metamask and probably safer.
