I already invest in stocks on a consistent basis
This 2k was just given to me unexpectedly so I thought why not gamble $1k in crypto
The other 1k is going in ETF
I believe the most reliable way to go is BTC and just let it do what it does.. however depending on who you talk to it could be late in the game whereas another coin could see you having greater gains.
If it's me I'd likely just drop it on BTC and see if it reaches the "$200,000" lofty predictions..
But seeing as I am new to crypto talk, what I actually did was just put some money into ticker: RIOT (MARA is another option) as they pretty much follow bitcoin, if bitcoin is up then they are up..
I'm not a financial advisor though and there are other people who know way more about crypto than me. But as someone new to crypto that is what I did.. I bought some RIOT.
