Hi dude :)
My first post was very brief obviously.
The primary way I buy any cryptocurrency is with Coinbase: https://www.coinbase.com/join/598e2237eb342e008e8064a4 join with that link and get $10 free bitcoin when you purchase any amount of crypto worth $100 (recommend starting with at least $100).
When you have cryptocurrency in your wallet register an account on Binance and buy alt coins with your Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin etc.

Each crypto currency is stored with it's own wallet, and the Blockfolio App you see is simply a tracker, not a wallet.
Any more questions ask away will be making more step by step guides with better info etc.
this is fantastic info for a noob like me! thanks!
