it's so I just opened up a coin base account (turned 18 a while ago) and I have been looking at the market
Best Private Lenders for High Risk Personal Loans South Africa and shit is down bad, Has anyone got any advice on this? what coin should I buy and has anyone got any discord/telegram chats to join for these topics?
Why do you even care about private lenders for high risk personal loans? Do you want to borrow money from such lender? I advise you to stay away from lenders and loan companies. Other members already gave you a decent advise. Just buy BTC and HODL for the long term(and don't trust Coinbase). If you want to do day trading with leverage that's a completely different topic. Day trading doesn't seem like a good idea for a young person like you.
If you want to discuss crypto on Discord just search for cryptocurrency related Discord servers on Disboard. AFAIK, Disboard is the biggest directory for Discord servers. Watch out for scam servers, Discord is full of scammers and scam servers.
