I've been involved with cryptocurrencies since 2013, remember the BTC peak at $1200, the DOGE hype.
Back then I got all my information from this very website, there weren't the same resources back then to acquire the knowledge needed to get involved. As a matter of fact, I first heard about BTC back in 2011, downloaded the wallet, but never truly understood how I would go about obtaining any BTC, so I just deleted the wallet again, and forgot about it.

Long story short, a friend of mine (who's mostly in stocks and real estate) asked me how to get started with crypto. He heard about it through the media and wanted to invest a few grand in BTC.

From a newbies point of view, it still feels kind of overwhelming to get started, which made me remember the good old days where I faced the exact same problem.

I started researching projects building the infrastructure to make crypto easy, obtainable, and straight forward to get started with, and came across the Divi project, which will allow straight Bank and Paypal transactions inside their wallet.
Pretty interesting, as it eliminates the need to start your journey on an exchange that requires all sorts of KYC documents etc. The process of trading X for Y on an exchange can be overwhelming as well.

So question I'm asking myself..
Have any of you guys been through the same, did you find it hard to get started with crypto?

surely everyone has had their own experience in the introduction of cryptocurrency. I know crypto (Bitcoin) in 2012 introduced by a friend to invest using bitcoin and at that time the price of bitcoin was $ 350. Until early 2016 I found the Bitcointalk forum and continued to explore various projects available in this forum while participating in various bounty campaigns available until now.

The period of 2016 and 2017 was a great time for crypto hunters, nearly all ICOs achieved success, and many projects paid crypto hunters a huge sum.
I really miss those days, the timing was great
