Now ETH has tanked for the day, dropping to close to $235. I'm wishing I had waited about an hour before making my initial purchase.

Two Lessons Here:

1. The market is unpredictable
2. Use limit orders to reduce risk

One Tip:

1. I'm not investor or financial advisor, but this is the lowest ETH has been priced in 14 days... could be a good time to buy if you're confident in the value of Ethereum
