  No, minors cannot legally buy cryptocurrency. In most countries, individuals under the age of 18 are not allowed to engage in financial transactions without parental consent. This includes purchasing cryptocurrencies. It is important for minors to abide by the legal requirements and seek parental guidance when it comes to financial matters.

  Buying cryptocurrency as a minor can be risky, as it involves financial transactions and potential investment risks. Minors should focus on learning about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, rather than engaging in actual transactions. There are plenty of educational resources available online to help minors gain knowledge and understanding in this field.
