In the U.S., GDAX (by Coinbase) is a good exchange with a fee of 0% - 0.25% depending on whether you are a "taker" or a "maker."[1] This is a lot less than Coinbase itself, which charges 1.49%.[2] (Assuming you fund with a bank account.) Do NOT store your coins on an exchange. You do not actually own the coins unless you control the private key. Use a hardware wallet. Some options include the Trezor[3], Ledger[4], and KeepKey[5]. Also, ShapeShift[6] is a good exchange for converting between various cryptocurrencies.
