"....You buy them on an exchange. I use Coinbase. You ACH money from a checking account, buy the currency you want. You can transfer the crypto to a private “wallet” that is not connected to the internet. No can access that without your “keys”. When you want to cash you, you simply reverse the process......"

That is a very simple explanation. Thanks.

Question- if the "wallet" is not connected to the internet, how do you acess?

Mine is like a USB card. It is attached to my PC when I want to move coins to the exchange. I also use a Yubi-key as a second confirmation. Then it is disconnected and stuck back in a safe place. Obviously, it is attached when I am using it. But the exposure is pretty limited.
