Find a USA based exchange then. Gemini is one, or just find someone on local bitcoins totrade with. This forum also has a currency exchange board but only deal with trusted users or a trusted escrow or you'll very likely get scammed.

c-cex.com
cex.io
bitpanda
livecoin
poloniex
lakeBTC
Gemini.com

Thank you. After I use Gemini to buy the cryptocurrency, can i trade on gemini as well? Why do people use bittrex and other sites like that? Is there an advantage to that? Should I transfer my coins from gemini to other bittrex?

ALso i just noticed on Gemini you can only buy bitcoin, etherium. I want to buy the rest of the cryptocurrency, how do i do that?

you can also use Gdax it is owned by coinbase but you would save alot $ in fees if you use it instead of coinbase.

But would I be able to only buy bitcoin, etherium and litecoin on Gdax or many more currencies? whats the difference between gdax and gemini? why people prefer one over another?

And these are just markets, am I right?

Try bitstamp.net, bittrex.com, poloniex.com or livecoin.net. Verified and reliable exchanges with USD deposit.

Yes only those 3 currencies are available on Gdax as of now. But Gemini Doesn't offer Litecoin.
here is a comprehensive review on these two exchanges https://coincentral.com/gdax-vs-gemini/

If you are willing to get into other alt-coins, buy Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin in one of those exchanges, then transfer them into binance or bittrex, they offer hundreds of alt-coins.

There is a possibility but there is a high deposit. The minimum is 100K USD. You can still try bitstamp.net and deposit USD in small amounts.
Here's the bittrex link https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001293992-Purchase-USDT-via-Wire-Transfer
Or, see https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@jerrybanfield/8-digital-currency-exchanges-with-usd-to-bitcoin  Try to read and decide.

I do not have the exact experience with this Bittrex process because it's a pretty high amount. Bitstamp is very reliable and recommend, but it's up to you how you decide.

The easiest way for you to purchase bitcoins is by buying an Itunes gift card, Use Paxful, they have 300+ ways to process a payment!
