My advice: first try to solve the problem with being poor. Investing in cryptocurrency is not a solution of being poor. No one gives you any insurance; you might become even more poor after getting some crypto. Second - getting some crypto when you poor, means limiting yourself in something even more. Cryptocurrency is closely intertwined with patience and long periods. Ask yourself, can you survive for unknown period of time, after realizing that you have turned from being poor to being more poor. In investment, having a pillow of funds is a must.
I guess the OP is hoping to get an investment asset from something free. he gets assets from registering on coinbase. and want to get more from elsewhere in the same way.
this is not related to its strength to survive in the market with the capital it has. I wonder if he was able to develop the assets that he got for free from the events he might participate in. with small capital in trading I guess he can start learning to make a profit.
