Before you do anything that can change your life, you should always spend some time and research what exactly you're getting yourself into. There is a lot of risk in trading crypto, as there is a lot of risk in trading in the stock market. However, crypto is slightly more intangible than the stock market, and therefore inherently carries more risk.
Thanks for posting something other than "ZOMG, BUY CRYPTO NOW NOW NOW YOU'LL BE RICH!"
Yea thanks for appreciating a logical view to things. Lately I feel like everyone is more captured by hype than by what cryptos are meant to fix. Yes much risk is involved, I dare say worth it. Nevertheless not something to get into without prepping.
I agree with it being worth getting into the space. The crypto world is experiencing the internet boom of the 90s (I hope it doesn't follow the same bust!).
To your point though, crypto is meant to free us from the corrupt central banks of the world and provide us with a decentralized currency to conduct transactions, without "big brother" watching. I'm not sure that we will get there, but for now, the mainstream accepting crypto as an investment can only get us closer to a widely accepted crypto currency!
