My recommendation is to start with an small amount. You can start with 0.1 BTC or less, which today is (still) less than thousand U.S. dollars. (You can use less money and buy a fraction if you prefer). The minimum to trade is $20.
If you are not having access to the BTC ATM machine than WesternUnion2BTC could be good way to have USD to BTC exchange at your neighbourhood. With Western Union is possible to exchange your cash for Bitcoins at your nearest Western Union point.
For converting cash into bitcoin, you need to open an account.
Opening account is instant and efficient. At the exchange there are efficient ways to conduct KYC (know your customer) diligence on you. They will do a standard verification to know who you are, and from where you are coming from. Once account opened, you are all set for buying Bitcoins for cash.
Good investing,

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
