Asking for a friend (no seriously - I am not a crypto person): how do you invest in crypto?

I have a friend that is adamant that she wants to put some money in crypto but she’s a total newbie. Other than advising her against using Robinhood - I don’t know what to tell her.
Any feedback on coinbase? Or alternatives?

Any advice is helpful :)

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
