Everyone is an investor

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

A few months ago a friend introduced me to cryptocurrency. I've learned of Euthereum (but still had to check how it's spelled as I wrote this) and Ripple. Of course I've heard of Bitcoin before. Mainly while watching The Good Wife on Netflix, but still.

So the story went like this: you don't need to do much. You just buy the coins and wait till you get rich. Well, that's pretty damn pleasing isn't it? Especially, when you get into it and uncover cries of people who missed out on buying Bitcoin ten years ago. "70 million, 110 million..." they whisper. "I could've had that if only I spared a 100 bucks back then!" So now everyone's being smart - they'll buy a 100 $ worth of every coin there is just to be sure that 10 years later they're all rich.

Everyone's a journalist, a judge and a star cause they've got Facebook.
Now everyone's an investor, cause they joined the XRP group and created a Poloniex account.

I wish all the luck to those exchanging. But please, read up before you do. Cause you'll end up like I did. With some coins in some wallets and without any real understanding how to read this. :)

I like how this movement is drawing attention to investing. I'm a little concerned that the cryptocurrency market is creating some unrealistic expectations for sound investment strategies. But for now, enjoy!

Thanks for sharing!
