its always smart starting small, just to get familier with crypto ecosystem and see if you are a good trader
i started with a little more than 1 btc about 2 and a half years ago and i think that if i used more i would burn myself trading
small steps are the key
the possibility of burning in the first try always normal for us who's trying to our quest into trading so you we need time and experience small start will allow us to grow and to seek more knowledge about this business.
