I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2012. I didn't buy any. The graphic shows the growth of this electronic gold since then. My first mistake.
I heard about Ethereum towards the end of last year. Although I promised myself that I wouldn't miss the train again and bought a bunch of Ether, I ended up buying way too little. My second mistake.
The beauty about the Crypto space, is that despite these mistakes (of which there have been many for me) the train has far from left the station! You may have missed the chance to grab yourself a first class seat in the Bitcoin or Ether carriages, however, you can still get in at second or third class.
More excitingly, there are plenty of first class tickets up for grabs in respect of the plethora of altcoins and ICO's popping up everyday in this exciting new community.
The first lesson that I learned was to actually get on the train! It doesn't matter whether you can afford a first class or third class ticket, if you don't take the step, you'll not reach your destination (aka big money).
