Probably best to stick with the most popular. You can open an account for probably as little as $50. I wouldn't "invest" more than you are willing to loose. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes to crypto, ethereaum, bitcoin, and light coin are like the blue chip stocks. Doge coin is a little more risky but has more upside. I have my money in bitcoin and ethereum. As with anything, invest what you're willing to lose. Right now crypto has been hot ,who knows how long that lasts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70gto 142 Posted August 20, 2021 BTC and ETH--- NOT BITCOIN CASH or other BS ----------I suggest are must haves before anything else, then go from there. Example ADA cardano and DOT and LINK afterwards. If you want to take a chance after that look at vechain etc. All the ones I mentioned have working projects etc. NOT A financial advisor just been in the game since 2017 if you need to chat 732-841-2472 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheflife15 455 Posted October 9, 2021 If you're not investing in crypto you're doing it wrong. Bitcoin and ethereum among the best. Look at the growth of those two alone over 10 years. They are becoming widely accepted. They're used by PayPal, venmo, etc. It will certainly be part of the future. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJ_Dude 198 Posted October 9, 2021 Still, to me crypto has no substance and no value other that some people telling me: Crypto is the future!, the day crypto falls 'investors' will end up with nothing, as opposed to say investing in real estate (or any other tangible object market) if the bubble burst at least you might end up owning some run-down houses or an empty lot but at least is something, precious metals and other tangibles will never go away. My 2 cents Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
father-of-three 243 Posted October 9, 2021 These days, most anything financial can go belly up except for the government (sofar) or things approved and backed by the government. Things NOT liked by the government may take a hit, but that would be many more things other than cryptocurrency. With that in mind, invest accordingly.

My 2 cents Most currencies have no real "substance" or "value". They aren't backed by anything except the promise of the issueing country that they are indeed worth something. The government of the issuing country controls the amount and relative worth of thee currency by printing more of it or taking it out of circulation. The main allure of bitcoin / crypto is it takes that control out of the government's hand (unless it is outright banned by a country). It also levels the worth of different currencies. One bitcoin is worth one bitcoin no matter what country you are buying or selling something in. I wouldn't by any means put a large chunk of my networth in it. But then I wouldn't but a large chunk of my networth in one investment ever. if the bubble does burst in crypto, there will still be millions and millions of people who made money. For every buyer there has to be a seller. If you buy some and it doubles or triples and you sell the amount you orginally invested and let the rest "ride" then you wouldn't have lost anything at all. It's not for everyone. It is HIGHLY speculative. But as others have pointed out, we are already at the point that you can complete transactions for a variety of different products and services in bitcoint / crypto. It's no longer the future. It's here. It's happending NOW. It's just a matter of if governments allow it to conitnue and compete with their fiat currencies and if it's popularity and use continues to be adopted by more and more users. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70gto 142 Posted October 10, 2021 Correct i don't believe a crypto like bitcoin will replace the countries currency like the dollar etc. I will work along side it. Example el Salvador make bitcoin a legal currency along side its money not replacing it. Wall Street companies are placing billion dollar bets on bitcoin. Im sure those guys wouldn't invest a dime if they knew its got no staying power. Those guys know the inside baseball more than we ever will. Who knows but crypto is liquid enough to place a sell order in a millisecond if u ever need to get out back into fiat. Bitcoin is now 11 years old. If it had to go im sure it would be gone by now. Who knows but just casually keep an eye out you will see bitcoin atms and wall st adoption. I spend 100 dollars out on a good night easy. 100 into bitcoin certainly is worth the risk to me. But live n let live I say. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crypto scammers took a record $14 billion in 2021: Chainalysis (cnbc.com) Seems like most of the "scams" involved rug pulls which is no different then a pump and dump in the stock market. If you invest in ridiculous coins you can almost expect that. Alot of people were chasing the next doge coin. As far as security goes, if you're using legitimate platforms your money is pretty well protected and in some cases insured Also the percentages are even expected. The increase in people that used or invested in crypto increased almost 200 percent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniper 6,372 Posted January 10, 2022 Looks like some even more downward pressure. Back to levels it was at a year ago, after hitting a high in Nov. around 69,000. ....."The price of bitcoin fell at one point Monday to its lowest point since September, as rising rates continue leading investors to shed positions in risky, growth-oriented assets. Bitcoin fell as much as 6% to touch a low of $39,771.91, according to Coin Metrics, but has since reclaimed some of its losses. It last traded about 4% lower at $40,758.90. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, fell more than 6% to $2,979.82. Declines across the cryptocurrency market follow a week of rough trading for equities, particularly momentum stocks. As the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield spiked to start 2022, investors have been rotating into more cyclical and value names. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/10/bitcoin-tumbles-below-40000-to-lowest-since-september-as-investors-dump-risky-assets.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
