    As a minor, purchasing cryptocurrencies can be challenging due to legal and regulatory restrictions. In many jurisdictions, individuals under the age of 18 are not allowed to engage in financial transactions without parental consent. This includes buying or trading cryptocurrencies. It is important to check the specific laws and regulations in your country or region to determine the restrictions that apply to minors.

    Buying crypto when you're under 18 can be tough. Most exchanges require users to be at least 18 years old to open an account and trade cryptocurrencies. This is because of legal and compliance reasons. However, there might be some platforms that allow minors to buy crypto with parental consent or under certain conditions. It's best to do your research and find out if there are any exchanges or services that cater to minors.
