Is coinbase the go to for getting started with buying  crypto currency?

I'm mostly looking at it as an investment right now, but some day I hope to be able to easily use it to buy stuff.

Is there an idiots/beginners guide somewhere for this stuff?

The closest thing I can imagine this stuff being is a weird mash up of stocks/pms and PayPal.  Is that too far off?

Coinbase seems to be the main place to buy it.

Years ago I tried opening an account with Mt Gox.  It took forever, and then it collapsed.  I opened an account with Coinbase but I've never bought bitcoin.

Tim Ferriss had a great in-depth interview about bitcoin's history and its future recently.  It's the best material on bitcoin I've heard.  They explain blockchain in an easy to understand way.
