I'm really curious about what you all think about cryptocurrency. I've been wanting to start investing in it for a while now, but I feel like I don't know enough about it to make good decisions. Do you have any advice?
My advice is to learn as much as you can as fast as you can. And don't take rushed decisions.
* Crypto and bitcoin investments are different, with different risk levels. You may want to ignore everything that's not bitcoin until you "level up".
* Bitcoin price is very volatile. This means that if you don't know what you're doing and you're just rushing it, you can easily buy high and sell low. Now most tell that the price will soon start going up; there's no guarantee it will do so.
** Learn the basics and see if you get to indeed trust that bitcoin price will go up
** Make sure you invest only money you afford to lose or keep locked in bitcoin for long
** Learn about DCA
** Learn the difference between Bitcoin and "whatever Bitcoin" (various altcoins with Bitcoin in their name)
** Learn how to keep your bitcoins safe (learn to use a wallet, transactions and transaction fees, may buy a hardware wallet)
** Learn how to withdraw the coins to your custody (not your keys, not your coins)
Then you can start enjoying the ride.
You can skip or postpone steps, but it's your own decision to make: time (price) vs knowledge and risks to do things wrong. I don't know where the sweet spot is.
