Finally got some bitcoin on coinbase after a couple days of research, now I want to start trading in the lesser known cryptos like ZRX, 0x, OMG, etc so which exchange should i transfer my BTC to so i can start playing with it? and what would be the process to buy IOTA? I live on the USA btw.

The fact that you cannot differentiate ZRX/0x makes me believe you are about to buy a lot of bags off Veeky Forums shills.

www.coinmarketcap.com

select which coin you want to invest in, then select markets and it will show you what exchanges it's available on.

ZRX and 0x are the same, unless you meant DNT, they are both available on liqui.io

OMG is avail on bittrex, which is where i'd preferably trade if a coin you want to invest in is available.

woops.

so am i going to have to trade on multiple exchanges if i want to trade in lesser known coins?

send it to bittrex and/or binance.

Bittrex has more currencies listed but you have to verify to withdraw anything and they don't have BNB or BTM. Both of these will rocket up before they're added to Bittrex so if you like them, the only place to get on board in binance.

I think they'll both get bigger and bigger as altcoins gain popularity but Binance is just started, much mre to grow and it's coin BNB will grow with it so you can benefit too.

Check the archives there are some threads on Binance, BNB, BTM.

Read the white paper.

Binance btw is

I am gonna give you real advice.

Go to a website that shows when ICOs release.

Go pick one with a lot of hype. Do you research.

Ask your self the fucking basics, does it have to deal with data, finance, is the team legit, and finally how much hype is around the coin.

Buy in when it goes live, favor ICOs that try to do equal distribution of their tokens.

Sell your bags on Veeky Forums and watch as shill threads pop up a day after.

is buying an ICO the same as buying any other alt coin? I just buy it on the site and transfer it to its own wallet?

Yes, most are based around Ethereum.

Some ask you to register like 0x which has made me personally over 30k in ETH.

I would weigh more heavily the ICOs that ask you to register so they can try to enforce a fair distribution. You aren't gonna be able to contend very well with people throwing hundreds of ETH into hot ICOs and will be subject to manipulation unless you get out with good gains. Most people are interested in the "moon" so they don't get out when they have doubled up.

Every reputable ICO will have very clear set of directions of how to acquire their token when it does go on sale so you don't really have to worry about the technical aspects too much. Just worry about how greedy you are willing to be.

With ICOS, do the sites release their own wallet for you to store your coins on ? Just curious how you end up receiving the coins given they're not on exchanges or in multi wallets like Jaxx / Exodus

MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, etc.

They are ERC20 tokens, they can be stored on any ERC20 compliant wallet.
