As a keen observer of the 
cryptocurrency landscape, I'm curious to understand the legal requirements surrounding the purchase of digital currencies. Could you elaborate on the age restrictions that typically apply when someone wishes to acquire cryptocurrencies? I've heard differing opinions, from some stating that there's no fixed age limit to others insisting that minors must have adult supervision. Clarifying this would greatly aid those considering their first foray into this dynamic marketplace.

    However, it's important to note that not all platforms adhere strictly to this 18-year-old rule.
