Ae Aeternity - wallets / exchange in Canada

What’s up from Canada?
I’ve been fooling around with gpu mining, as a beginner! I need help with mining AE Aeternity. I hear you need two wallets? Can this coin be exchanged for BTC for example or is this still in development? What’s the story on this crypto, everything I read is old info! maybe a short video on this would be great or any help is appreciated.

Thanks
