Either you start with a smaller or bigger amount the most important factor is how knowledgeable you are about it and what strategy you will follow to make profits and reduce the risks, and if you can manage this then rest everything will be fine with you.
Knowledge is not important unless you have applied it practically.Applying it in this context,simply knowing when bitcoin rises and what to do when that happens is not as important as making the right trade with profitable margins at that exact moment.Each and every second counts.A smart trader would play with a few satoshis real time than reading pages.
Yes, knowledge is important and I think if guys are investing in ICO ( Initial coin offer ) then they must see the team and the supporting team. If you see just a newbie opening thread and claiming too much without any proper clam then never trust on them, no matter what. I think this ICO has made trading much more interesting.
