it’s more that using fluctuations is bad logic for both crypto and fiat
being a user of US currency over the last 100 has been generally good for all involved
i’d say the same is true for ethereum (i’m a bit eth maxi with small holdings of other crypto)
if you are at all actually curious i wouldn’t read anything about crypto since the writing is so polarizing (crypto =scam or crypto is saving the world).
neither is true but no amount of words will give conviction.
download metamask, buy $500 of eth, swap it into usdc on uniswap, buy a shitty nft on opensea. then see if you like it. do not treat the $500 as investment. treat it like education.
