I started learning about Blockchain and crypto early 2017. After i decided I like the 'idea', I bought some BTC, ETH and LTC, because that was the easiest thing to buy (and the only ones on Coinbase).
Cue the long learning curve.
Once you buy the coins, you start learning:
about the almost 1400 other coins that also exist
about the other exchanges you must join to get the other coins
that the exchanges don't all hold the same coins
that some exchanges remove coins when they feel they don't want hem on their exchanges any more
that exchanges get hacked !
that there are things called 'wallets'
that those wallets can be online/ off line / hard / cold or paper.....
that even a offline hardware wallet can be unsafe if you buy it from etc wrong person
that coins can go up 100 % in a day....
that coins can go up 500 % in a day !
there's something called 2FA
that you'd better use REALLY good passwords and 2FA to be safe
that there is LOTS more to learn!
That's just the beginning.... more to follow... suffice to say, I should sign myself off as:
