It's really not nearly as difficult as it seems. Can get a hot wallet for free, and it's no harder than buying something on amazon... just clicking a few buttons. on the other hand, understanding the various coin markets, trying to figure out the fluctuations, splits, etc, etc is a whole other ballgame. But there are coins/tokens that are pretty damned stable, so there's not much concern about losing. I will, however, be watching BTC and buying some when it drops, then selling when it skyrockets - over and over, just as a fun side hustle to see what I can turn $500 into. Hopefully I'll end up wishing I had put $5k in, or learn enough that I can do it with $5k in a year or two.
