<h3>How Do I Get Monero?</h3>
<p>
There are a few ways.
</p>
<p>You can buy it from an exchange such as <a href="https://kraken.com" target="_blank">Kraken</a>, <a href="https://tradeogre.com" target="_blank">TradeOgre</a>, and <a href="https://localmonero.co" target="_blank">LocalMonero</a>.
</p>
<p>
You can also mine it if you have a fast enough computer. I wouldn't recommend buying a computer just for this unless you're really into that sort of thing.
</p>
<p>
You can also earn it by providing some sort of service or selling goods and merchandise. There are many plugins that allow you to run a web store that accepts Monero.
</p>
<h3>How Do I Run My Own Node?</h3>
<p>
There are plenty of guides out there that explain in great detail how you can run a Monero node, so I will defer to those. This is my favorite resource to learn about setting up your own node: <a href="https://sethsimmons.me/guides/run-a-monero-node/" target="_blank">Run a Monero Node by Seth Simmons</a>
</p>
<h3>Isn't Cryptocurrency for Criminals?</h3>
<p>
No, but this is a common misconception.
