I completely agree. Great post. Never let a defeatist mindset make a decision for you :D
I felt like I missed my chance when bitcoin first "took off" and was selling for $300 per coin...now look at it. More and more what I'm seeing is people taking the concept of crypto and using it to advance bold ideas and do great things.
It's true that a lot of alt coins get dropped and a person could lose a lot of money getting too excited, but spending little bits here and there...like you said, your coffee (or in my case part of my entertainment) budget to invest over time adds up even if you lose some from time to time.
My way of doing things is picking coins who's concept I understand and feel like I could use.
When I lose a few dollars I feel fine knowing I still invested in really great concepts that are geared towards making the future awesome and most of the time leveling the playing field in ways fiat cash doesn't.
Thank you for this thoughtful reply. :)
I actually had three bitcoins gifted to me a few years ago and somehow thought it was more like gaming currency and lost them along the way (feeling silly about that now). It was this year that I started to really take this serious. It's incredibly significant to a great future, not to mention how utterly exhilarating it all is as it really feels historic.
Your perspective on comprehension is something I 100% agree with. I am sticking with coins I 'get' in some way, sometimes that's actually a feeling, strange as that may sound.
