Great advice and I'm sure that I am just echoing what others have said already.
But I feel a bit a bit better knowing that I am at least on the right track, my first forray into Crypto has been moving onto Steemit, my second was buying some LiteCoin and my third is going to invest in some BitCoin.
I think that I have mentioned it previously, that I remember when bitcoins where first coming to people's attention, and that I did think rather lazily that I would have to find out about them...roll forward 8 years and the time has gone past in the flash of an eye and the only thing that I have to show for that time is regret :-(
I am NOT going to make the same mistake again and I can thank Steemit for helping me move into Crypto currencies properly.
Thanks again for sharing, it is good to get the opinion of someone with your experience of the market.
