Can't buy cash, only core

[Paulways]

Hello! I'm brand new to bitcoin and am having trouble getting the ball rolling. I want to buy bitcoin cash, but I keep getting directed to buy.bitcoin.com, and they only have an option for bitcoin core. I click on 'BTC' but it doesn't give an option for changing it, I enter the cash address for my wallet and it says it's invalid. When I go on https://www.bitcoin.com/guides/how-to-b ... redit-card, it says that when you click the link, you can choose between cash and core, but when I follow the link it only gives me core as an option and the page is different from the screenshot. Am I missing something? Advice appreciated.

Hi Paulways,

Depending on your location (some countries are still yet to be added but hopefully that won't be far off) you might not be able to purchase Bitcoin Cash at https://buy.bitcoin.com/

If not, you can purchase BCH from, though not limited to, the following exchanges:

Coinbase: https://coinbase.com
Kraken: https://kraken.com
Bitstamp: https://bitstamp.net

Other exchanges can be found here: https://www.bitcoincash.org/#exchanges

Are you using a Bitcoin.com wallet? If so, you could also trade Bitcoin (BTC) for Bitcoin Cash (BCH) via the ShapeShift.io service on the wallet's homescreen.
