Very useful video from someone I've been following since my crypto journey started (two weeks ago). Yes, I bought into the peak. Have been reading about cryptocurrency on and off for a few years.

But no regrets, I genuinely believe in the tech. Just need to make sure I invest in the next Google, not the next pets.com

This is essential reading, if you're too young to remember the dot-com bubble. Companies worth $Bs folded overnight

So yes, be excited by the technology, but if you're going to invest your money, same rules from the old world will apply to the new.

My checklist

• an idea that is useful
• a team that has a proven record of delivery
• enough funding to last the whole journey

Hope that's useful
