I know this community is for bitcoin but I couldn't find any community to talk about crypto-currencies in general so I thought this may be the right place to ask.
I am interested on investing money on Ardor but I am kind of new in the world of crypto-currencies. So if someone could explain me how to buy and then sell Ardor in an easy way and avoiding places that could end up like mt.gox that would be nice.
Poloniex is probably the best place to invest into Ardor. Changelley (https://changelly.com) would be better if you don't want to keep the tokens on an exchange like Poloniex.
From the website: Note: If you have ARDR tokens, do NOT send them to the address you create on the Ardor Testnet. Please send them to a Nxt Wallet from Nxt.org as ARDR is currently an asset on the Nxt blockchain until its launch in Q3.
Notice even the Ardor explorer is on Nxt: https://www.mynxt.info/asset/12422608354438203866
If you have bitcoins you can buy Ardor fastly and easily in Poloniex. If not, you can buy Ardor with $ here
Coinmarketcap lists several markets, like Polo and BTC38:
In case you owned some BTC you can exchange it easily for Ardor in one of the exchanges who maintain BTC\ARDR market. for example:
In case you don't own any BTC you need to buy some and then the above.
In general: before trading you need a platform that will generate you Ardor private/public key so later you will be able to commit transaction - this pair can be stored web exchanges, desktop client or else.
When this is done (you found way to store your tokens), you can search for exchange place who have a market Ardor\AnyKindOfValueYouWant and there you can start trade with users.
By market I don't mean only one of the listed above, it can on be even on instant msg platform such as Whatsapp, Telegram or Facebook group.
