If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the options, don’t worry – this workshop will help you understand the basics of your first crypto investments. Let’s dive in and explore your best options together.
START SMALL
As a beginner, it’s important to start with small investments. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and prices can fluctuate dramatically. By starting small, you can learn the ropes without risking a significant portion of your capital. Only invest what you can afford to lose, and gradually increase your investment as you become more comfortable and knowledgeable.
TO STAY ON THE “SAFE SIDE”
Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, often referred to as digital gold. It’s a popular choice for beginners due to its established status and relatively lower volatility. Investing in Bitcoin can provide a solid foundation for your crypto portfolio.
Ethereum (ETH) is the second largest cryptocurrency by market size. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is a platform for decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. Its widespread adoption and versatility make it a strong investment choice.
DIVERSIFY WITH OTHER COINS
Buying more than one cryptocurrency can help mitigate risks and provide the potential for higher returns. Other coins can offer unique features and benefits not found in Bitcoin or Ethereum. It’s beneficial to know a little about the currency before investing.
HIGHER RISK, HIGHER REWARDS
If you’re looking for potentially higher rewards, consider adding some younger and cryptocurrencies to your portfolio. Younger currencies can have higher growth potential but also come with higher risks.
CryptoUnity Token (CUT) is an example of a smaller currency that might offer significant returns, but it’s important to remember that the risk is also higher. Investing in younger, less established cryptocurrencies requires careful consideration and a willingness to endure more volatility.
Ultimately, the final decision is yours. Ensure that your choices are based on a clear strategy and align with your goals, even if it’s a very simple one to start with. The key is to keep learning and getting the ropes, and you will soon be confident in your moves and ready to invest more.

Market News
Bitcoin stalls below $65,000 while ETF money quietly returns — what actually moved this week
A $114 million hardware wallet hack, the best ETF inflow week since April, and a market that refuses to move in either direction. This week had three stories that matter to beginners — and one warning from EU regulators that you should read before anything else. We explain each one calmly, in plain language, and show what it means for you.

Why do crypto prices move so much?
It's the question every beginner asks after their first week: why does the number keep moving? The answer isn't "because crypto is crazy" — it's four specific mechanics, and once you know them the movement stops feeling random. No jargon, no predictions, just how the machine actually works.
Education
How much money do you actually need to start with crypto?
"I don't have enough money" is the most common reason people put off starting. And it's almost always wrong. We explain why the entry barrier isn't what you think, why starting small is actually smarter than starting big, and how to work out the amount that lets you sleep at night. No jargon, no pressure.
