Getting into the right mindset and preparing your strategy
Discovering things you may need along the way

You shouldn’t treat crypto investing as a get-rich-quick scheme. Even though your hopes may be up, especially since the market saw jaw-dropping returns in 2017, the likelihood of seeing such gains in such a short amount of time again is pretty low.
