thanks for all the comments guys. I decided to re read the bitshares 101 and watch the videos a few times. So this is where im at, i need to buy bitcoins first and ive never done that before. I understand to do my first transaction with a small amount. So from what i understand i need to find a exchange that accepts australia $ ( im in Aussie ). So could someone recommend a site i go to to set up a bitcoin account please.
You could try localbitcoins.com for starters if you want to stay off the grid, i.e. avoid having to register with an exchange and connect/link your bank account info.
Otherwise just go with coinbase or something, lots of BTC exchanges out there.
