I hate reading those kinds of things. I've been thinking of getting into crypto for a very long time, but didn't understand it so I stayed away. I still don't understand it, but I don't care anymore. I want to have a small percentage of my investments in it.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda. If I bought $10,000 worth of Apple stock at their IPO in 1980 I'd have just under $7 million today.
Big difference between Apple and something like crypto is Apple had a product that had massive appeal. Crypto on the other hand is kind of like...vapor. There's really no guarantee with any investment but at least with a company that owns and produces stuff there is some collateral value to your investment. That's not what crypto is, at least not how I understand it.
But hey, if you've got money you're 100% prepared to lose, and the risk doesn't increase your blood pressure, go for it.
I'm too old for that shit now. Not enough time to recover if it goes south on me.
