I scraped together the little money I have and dove into bitcoin. My ambition is to make money trading altcoins and keep a bitcoin reserve. Can I even make it anywhere starting with such a small amount of money?
Just find a Bitcoin ATM, buy $25 worth of Bitcoin, then hold ( hodl ) it for 5 years.
I would advise against this, sure it may turn in to something like $500 but that's your cap. If you are able to trade successfully you could turn it in to way more than $500. You can start that small for sure there's no reason you can't.
