Buying from other users, or buying from the operator
Crypto can be bought on an exchange, where users trade with each other on an order book, or at a brokerage desk, where the operator sells to you directly. The desk is simpler to use but sets a wide gap between its buy and sell prices. The same purchase leaves you with different value depending on which you use.
If the desk's buy and sell prices differ by 3%, you start 3% down the moment you buy.
