I'm not a financial adviser, but me and pretty much everyone in this topic think investing in crypto is a great move (that's why we are all here lol) that can yield life changing returns
I'd stay away from litecoin, at least for now, especially for new investors.
Bitcoin and ethereum are both interesting. Bitcoin is accepted as the primary coin that backs everything else - it is basically the "reserve" of cryptocurrency, if you will. Everything else, including ethereum, is commonly referred to as an alt coin. That said, There are almost as many altcoin-ethereum pairings as there are altcoin-bitcoin pairings (you can't exchange most crypto for fiat currency, so you use things like Bitcoin and ethereum as intermediaries) , so ethereum is a major player.
The draw to investing in cryptocurrency is blockchain technology. All the crypto out there utilize blockchain technology, and the market really involves investing in altcoins with promising blockchain technology and uses, with bitcoin being the ultimate store of value. there are a shytload of coins and strategies involved in the cyrpto space.
It behooves you to do as much research as you can on whatever you invest into.
If you're serious about investing in crypto now up to potentially 2 weeks from now an excellent time, as the market is in a slump and everything is cheap as ****.
if you live in the US, the major exchanges through which you can buy BTC, ethereum are coinbase (and its subsidiary gdax) and gemini
you then can buy the altcoins through a multitude of exchanges. coins should be stored on a wallet (there are posts about wallets in this topic and thru online searches).
There's just so much regarding investing in crypto it's hard to write everything in one post. You're best off learning as much as you can about it and then asking questions that come up here or somewhere you trust
