New To Crypto - A simple breakdown.

TitianGerm

Folks I've had a passing interest in Crypto currency over the last few years but never even considered purchasing any.

Now I'm thinking of investing a small amount, circa €500 and letting it ride out for a few years.

Would any of you more knowledgeable guys have a handy guide for someone starting out? I think I'm a little out of my depth

I was in your position about 2 years ago, knew the basics about Bitcoin and Litecoin but little else. There are a few sites i use regularly to learn and keep abreast of new developments in the whole crypto currency field which you might find useful.

Youtube Channels:

Datadash - Easy to understand, gives some decent advice and is handy if you want to find out about up and coming coins. Doesnt seem to be pushing the same coins over and over which is good as I reckon most of these guys are pushing certain ones cause they are heavily invested in them.

I watch a lot of general crypto currency videos too just to get a better understanding about them, how they work, mining setups, trading etc
