Thinking about making the plunge?

It was three years ago that I first got interested in cryptocurrency but I was too timid to jump into investing. I was just too timid in investing into anything then. I was reading blogs, talking to people that invested, just getting my feelers out.

Last year during the great stock market dive, I jumped in the normal stock market. Got in when all was super low. Now, I wish I grabbed more but it was all kind of scary. I also got in while crypto’s were super low. Also, very glad I made that jump. After researching many platforms to join up with, I concluded coinbase was the best bet for me. If you have been thinking about it but were too timid, right now the crypto market is down. You can get $10 in crypto on me using this link I have been thinking about investing in coinbase (COIN) in my stock portfolio. I like that they are publicly traded, just another reason to trust in them and the movement. Coinbase is also great at explaining what each currency is, how it works, where it comes from and more. I still don’t personal grasp every concept but it makes it easier to dig deeper and make sure you feel comfortable investing your hard earned cash. I am currently watching VeChain (VET) though coinbase doesn’t offer this. You can watch it from there platform. I was given a tip about it and although it is at .12c right now, my tip was that it could hit the $20 mark in 2 years. I’m planing to watch it for awhile and if it starts to take off, join another crypo platform that does sell it and buy a couple hundred worth.

I would advise, buy in the dips and never invest more then you are willing to lose. I have set up a weekly reoccurring budget for ethereum (ETH), bitcoin (BTC), compound (COMP) and zcash (ZEC). Nothing major, just $5 a week per currency. That way, if it’s low this week I get in, if it’s high, I’m not spending a fortune. I simply devote my specialty coffee budget into the world of cyber-money.

I know with the lasted dip in the market, a lot of investors are afraid to buy in and were pulling out. Though, we’ve seen these dips before , only now big banks, like Chase and Fidelity are getting interested, I don’t see crypto’s going away. Get in while the getting is low and just like the classic stock market, be patient.

Let me know if you take the plunge or not? If so, how do you feel afterwards? I was relieved and overall still very happy with my decision.
