Drop a little in – to avoid a possible repeat
One of my biggest financial regrets was not investing in Amazon, but then again, I’ll blame it on my youth; I didn’t know or understand the value of investing or what “amazon” was.
Now, I do, though. And my goal is to avoid that icky feeling I had felt when I missed the train for an investment that I ignored or underestimated.
Investing Is Like Gambling, Except You Always Win
However, when it comes to investing, you always win if you do it right. Investing in cryptocurrency is a big bet. For this reason, you should only invest a small percentage of your net worth that you’re comfortable losing.
Start with 1% and hold, but whatever you do, diversify your financial portfolio with at least the big three:
Cryptocurrency
Stocks & bonds
Real estate
Diversifying your portfolio will help you be risk-aversed, recession-proof, and the recipient of constant returns.
Crypto Returns Are Exponentially Ludicrous
I finally listened to one of my financial mentors and bought cryptocurrency. I made the money I invested back in a couple of weeks. Recently, I was chatting with someone about crypto, and I made nearly 100 dollars doing absolutely nothing in a matter of minutes.
That’s crypto. The volatility is reckless, but the opportunity outweighs the thought of backing out.
If you only invest a small percentage of your money into cryptocurrency, you can’t lose.
Imagine if you had invested in bitcoin when it was only 10 cents and bought 100 shares. With BTC sitting at 20K+ today, you’d be sitting on some pretty cash.
Tip: If you want outrageous returns, get comfortable with volatility.
How To Learn About Cryptocurrency
I read plenty of articles and listened to several people talk about cryptocurrency. Still, the significance and understanding of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies didn’t start to click until I watched visual tutorials explaining how all this decentralized technology worked. And now that I have a better understanding of it all. I’m in love; the technology is brilliant and next-gen.
Erase Your Skepticism About Crypto, Or Don’t
Invest $100 in a well-researched option, and leave it alone. You probably won’t regret it, nor miss the $100. But at least you will be thankful when you gain a significant return.
The worst that can happen is you lose one hundred bucks, but you most likely will win: high risk = high rewards.
However, it’s impossible to genuinely lose with a small investment (e.g., $50–100). If you lose, you lose $50, which isn’t such a big deal.
I know which one I’m choosing. More to come.
