How do I safely buy and trade DOGE, Trump and Melania coins?

[SoRAEC]

Please take it easy on me, I am new to crypto. I see ads all over X for various coins and exchanges, but I know most are shady.

Is there a trusted way I can just buy Doge, Trump and Melania meme coins, and maybe others, without being hacked/scammed? Or accidentally buying some fake coin? Without a PHD in finance or computers.

I am a US citizen and want to pay taxes on all gains.

I know this post will attract scammers, so I will ignore all related private messages and only listen to what is posted in the thread.

just find the big exchange that's available for your country, in CMC https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/ you can find the most used exchange and the one that's available in the US. be sure to choose the best ones.

the meme coins that you mentioned are all big memes, so I expect availability will become no problem at all. like Dogecoin is basically available everywhere. I think it's the best way to avoid getting scammed if you're not really ready to do it on-chain, it can't be denied that navigating through the meme market on-chain in solana blockchain is tough and there's plenty of tokens impersonating the real thing.

For US, the first choice to easily buy crypto is Kraken. They fully follow US regulations and available in all states except NY and WA. They provide an easy interface to buy crypto for beginners. You can link your US bank account or you could also use your card. They have all the crypto options you mentioned. Another similar option is Binance.us. It might be even better for some card users. There are also coinbase.com and crypto.com but they have limited coins option. Try these four and find what suits you.

The United States have lifted some laws regarding crypto and we've seen how that's going for the citizens and the United States government. They've accepted crypto generally and moving their edge to ensure they achieved quite important features. Kraken is a good crypto exchange, it provides all the necessary features that's mandatory. OP is new to crypto and you and me understand the fact that he can't adapt every possible new features in the market. You recommend an exchange, OP will need guidelines on how to operate this exchange, more like the buying and selling order. OP will needs all the possible help he can get and most importantly, to stay off scammers.

When I first got into crypto, I found Kraken to be a solid pick since it's so easy to use and follows US regulations, which gave me some peace of mind. But honestly, choosing an exchange was just the beginning for me, I had to figure out how to buy, sell and keep my funds safe, which took a bit of time. I ended up spending a few nights messing around with Kraken's tutorials and honestly, they were a lifesaver for figuring stuff out, I'm not exactly a tech wizard! I also turned on 2fa because I wanted to make sure my account was locked down tight. I had a scare with scammers once, got lured in by some dodgy coins and a shady third party service and I totally didn't see it coming. Now I'm super paranoid and make sure to triple check everything before I do anything. Honestly, it's better to go slow and keep your guard up while you're learning the crypto game.

If you want to buy Bitcoin or other major coins use Coinbase or Kraken. For coins that aren’t listed on major exchanges yet use an ERC20 offering platform, try Uniswap or Phantom. Be sure to keep your back up safe & don’t store it online so somebody can drain your wallet.

Thanks for all the great answers. I have signed up for Kraken.

Binance? If you can send money over to binance, then you should be fine. If not, check out which exchange is the biggest in your nation, but USDT there, send it over to Binance, and then do it there. This should be fairly easy, even a newbie could do it. If you have Binance in your nation that is already better, because you are not going to do an extra layer and one step less which means you just do it all on Binance and would be trading right away.

But if you are not allowed to send fiat to binance in your nation, then just go to cmc and check which exchange allows it in your own nation, and then wherever it is, check if trump/doge and so forth is available there, if not then buy USDT, send it to Binance and rest is the same.

Yes there's many trusted ways to buy any coin that you love and want to buy to hodl but first you must understand that the tokens that you're getting interested in are memecoins and don't have the chances to increase in price that much anymore as they have gone passed their days of being hyped, maybe only Dogecoin still has some potential as it's being mentioned always on social media and has the support of Elon musk and president Donald Trump. If you're still going ahead to buy them, don't use all your life savings but only invest a few percentages of your savings and you can use any top exchanges from coinmarketcap.com that accept US citizens to buy.

Thanks for that valuable advice. I am only putting in "gambling" money to crypto at all, mostly for fun.

Kraken is a reputable exchange with strong security and regulatory compliance in the US. But as per my check Melania is not available or not yet listed on their platform. Also why did you choose memecoins? These often end up as rug pulls. Since you're new to crypto take your time exploring the platform and please enable two-factor authentication for extra security. If you ever decide to dive into on-chain trading later make sure to double-check contract addresses on sites like CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap to avoid fakes. Best of luck with your crypto journey!

I believe the OP has chosen a good exchange with good security. If you have extra money, you could diversify into using decentralized exchanges in the holder wallet as your own. I think that is one of the best ways you could prevent yourself from being overexposed to possible exchange crashes or issues.

That's good to hear. You're new and you know what you're doing because others don't even try to do what they should be just as you've said.

They're gambling mostly with new tokens and even with memecoins with everything that they have. So, this is what they must do and that's to invest only what they can afford to lose.

The husband and wife token (trump and melania), they've pumped a lot and now they're low in price so good luck.

You can buy any coin of your choice by the use of an exchange, you may also try to engage the service of a physical p2p seller and buy from them, but they must be trusted or else you make use of an escrow service, you will also have to be more careful in buying any of these coins, because they can fall at any time, while the best time to buy them is when they are on dip already, i still go by far with investing on Doge coin than the other two mentioned.

- Dogecoin (DOGE) | Coinmarketcap | Coingecko
- Official Trump (TRUMP) | Coinmarketcap | Coingecko
- Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) | Coinmarketcap | Coingecko

I've summarized it above for you, mate. Those are reliable sources, then since you're a US citizen, you should only look for CEXs that are legal in your country to avoid any problems. Good luck!

Amazing advice everyone, thanks.
