- Start small - you can always add more later
- Crypto should be a portion of your total portfolio, not all of it

$50-100 - Perfect for learning
Moderate
$200-500 - Good for real experience
Aggressive
$1000+ - Only if you're confident

Can I start with just $10?
Absolutely! Most exchanges let you start with $10-20. The important thing is starting and learning, not the amount.
How often should I add more money?
Weekly or monthly DCA is best. Set a schedule and stick to it - removes emotional decision making.
Is it too late to start investing in crypto?
No! Crypto is still early. Bitcoin and established coins have decades of potential growth ahead.
Should I invest in multiple coins or just one?
Start with one - usually Bitcoin. Learn with it, understand it, then expand to 2-3 coins maximum.
What if I lose everything?
If you follow the rules (only invest what you can afford to lose, don't use leverage), the loss won't impact your life. That's the right mindset.
