Armory is a good free wallet, and if you want to pay for a Trezor that would be even more ideal IMHO- people should know how to store their BTC properly and how to control your private keys, when you leave

To convert Fiat to BTC I mainly use Coinbase- there are a few others but they are far smaller and less reputable; unfortunately I think we need to stick with coinbase for now, but once you have your BTC

Look up and research BIP 148, anyone who has BTC exposure needs to know what is happening and when it is, and if your wallet supports such. Don't be smart enough to own BTC yet dumb enough to not know
