  Nope, sorry! If you're under 18, you'll have to wait a bit longer before you can get your hands on some cryptocurrency. The legal age to purchase cryptocurrency varies by jurisdiction, but in most places, you need to be at least 18 years old. So, for now, focus on learning about crypto and building your knowledge until you reach the legal age.
