Acquiring cryptocurrency 

There are various ways in which Altcoins or Bitcoins can be obtained; if the coin supports mining, primarily the coins that work on PoW algorithms fall into this category, those coins can be obtained by a mining process. Coins such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, Bitcoin Cash, Monero, and others support mining. As discussed earlier, there are various exchanges where cryptocurrencies are exchanged, for fiat currency or even other cryptocurrency; this is another widely used method.
