Unfortunately, many average people do not understand that when a market is down significantly, it is the best opportunity to snap up some relative bargains. Several of them get swept in the media hype attacking a certain asset class (e.g., crypto as of late).

There is a lot of crap in the crypto sphere, but some cryptos will shine and stick around for years and decades to come.

A small amount of cash into crypto could get you much further than the equivalent USD amount 12-15 months ago.

Provided that it is a small amount that something is willing (and can afford) to lose, then I don't see why you shouldn't have a go. Just DYOR and take calculated risks.

Not financial advice.
