I only started like late last year. I heard of bitcoin years prior but I didn't know it went up over time so I just thought "crypto currency" was internet money. Like, the dollar, it doens't really go up or down that much. (ik it kinda actually does but u get the point)
I feel so agro that I didn't get in way sooner. god...
That's an unhealthy attitude you have there. Beating yourself up for not getting involved earlier and taking huge risks expecting another coin like bitcoin will come along and take its place. Among those thousands of coins, you won't find bitcoin's successor. Just invest little by little and don't gamble too much. And don't put your financial stability in danger by putting money into the market that you need for more important things.
