Cryptocurrencies (think Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, and many, many more) are in the news a lot these days. Just last week, El Salvador became the first country in the world to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender, and you've probably seen a few stories about regular people who invested at just the right time to make big gains.
But as a semi-experienced investor, I know that there are pluses and minuses (and risks!) involved in any investment. And as someone who still doesn't ~totally~ understand crypto, I'm extremely curious to learn what your experiences investing in it have really been like.
Maybe you had great luck with your coins at first and saw some nice returns...only to lose it all when a few poorly-timed trades put you back at square one.
Or perhaps you bought crypto after news stories about people making lots of money in it gave you a serious case of FOMO. But once you bought in, the prices started to fall.
Maybe you started investing small amounts of money in crypto, and as you learned more about the market you invested more. Though the prices are volatile, you're happy to keep holding your coins for now.
Or perhaps you made money on your crypto trades that helped you meet a major financial milestone, like buying a car or home or paying off your student loans.
