Hey everyone, I’ve been watching crypto for a while but I’m finally thinking about putting some actual money in.
Honestly though, the more I look, the more confused I get. One day Bitcoin is up because of some "new policy" (I think the SEC/CFTC just passed something big?), and the next day it’s crashing because of the situation with Iran.
The price feels like a roller coaster and I have no idea if I'm buying the "dip" or just catching a falling knife.
* **Is it too late to buy Bitcoin at $71k?** Or is it going to $100k like everyone on YouTube says?
* **What else do people even buy?** I see Solana and AI coins mentioned everywhere, but as a beginner, it feels like gambling.
* **Can you actually make money here** with all the global chaos going on, or is this just a playground for big institutions now?
I don't have a massive portfolio, just want to know if it's still worth the stress for a regular person. Any advice for someone who has zero idea what they're doing?
