The cryptocurrency market can seem attractive (or scary) for those with little money to invest, but with some basic tips, you can participate more safely and intelligently. Here are some pieces of advice:
⸻
📌 1. Invest Only What You Can Afford to Lose
The crypto market is highly volatile and risky. If you have little money, it is crucial to invest only what will not compromise your basic bills (rent, food, health).
⸻
📌 2. Start Small, But Be Consistent
It is better to start with a small amount (for example, R$ 50 or R$ 100) and make regular contributions, as if it were a 'crypto savings'. This helps reduce the impact of volatility through price averaging (a strategy known as DCA – Dollar Cost Averaging).
⸻
📌 3. Choose Solid Coins and Avoid Easy Promises
Focus on established projects like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) that have a history of security and liquidity. Avoid falling for promises of quick gains or meme coins without fundamentals — they can leave you at a loss.
⸻
📌 4. Use Trusted Platforms
Opt for safe and well-known exchanges (like #Binance, #Bybit, Mercado Bitcoin, or others with a good reputation). Avoid unknown or poorly regulated exchanges.
⸻
📌 5. Be Careful with Fees
Some exchanges charge high withdrawal, deposit, or transaction fees. Check carefully before buying or transferring funds. If you have little money, fees can eat a good portion of your investment.
⸻
📌 6. Learn Before You Buy
Take time to study basic cryptocurrency concepts, such as:
🔹 What is blockchain
🔹 How a digital wallet works
🔹 What is a private and public key
🔹 How to protect your funds (2FA, secure passwords).
⸻
📌 7. Protect Your Investment
Use two-factor authentication (2FA) and never share your private keys. If possible, use your own wallet (cold wallet or hardware wallet) to store cryptocurrencies for the long term.
⸻
📌 8. Avoid FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
Jumping on the hype can make you buy at peaks. Be patient, plan your entries (using, for example, periodic purchases), and study the market trend.
⸻
📌 Summary:
✅ Invest only what you can afford to lose
✅ Start small and regularly
✅ Prioritize solid cryptos ($BTC BTC, $ETH ETH)
✅ Use reliable and secure exchanges
✅ Always study before investing
✅ Protect your keys and passwords
✅ Avoid impulsive decisions
