Cryptos in my honest opinion will transform your wealth as they are in a long upward trend but they are extremely volatile in price action. Always remember never a loss until you sell so if the market goes down in the short term hold and will come back.Only use surplus money though.
Hope this gives you the push to buy your first Bitcoin!!.
