How old are you?
What's your annual income?
What are your annual expenses?
Do you have any debt?
What are your long-term financial goals (e.g., buy a house, put x kids through college, retire by age x)?
What other assets and investments do you own?
Give us the answers to those questions, and we'd be happy to give you all of the following responses:
1. Yes, put $2,000 into BTC immediately.
2. No, it's a Ponzi scheme/going to $0 soon.
3. Try 80/20 BTC/ETH.
4. Try 20/80 BTC/ETH.
5. Beg, borrow, and steal everything you can and buy as much BTC as you possibly can ASAP.
6. Actually, it's better to DCA (dollar cost average) in over time.
7. Actually, studies show that DCAing is not optimal.
8. Coinbase has high fees and poor customer service.
9. Coinbase is the safest and most reliable exchange for newbies.
10. Robinhood won't let you move BTC out of your Robinhood account; why are you even considering Robinhood (not your keys, not your coins)?
11. DYOR (do your own research).
12. TINFA (this is not financial advice).
13. HFSP (have fun staying poor).
14. Four-year cycle theory.
15. Supercycle theory.
16. Lengthening cycles and diminishing returns.
17. Actually, all TA (technical analysis) is magical thinking; no one knows where the price is going.
18. Pure money, inflation hedge, digital gold, possible future reserve asset.
19. China FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt), energy use FUD, regulation FUD.
20. Institutional investors, MicroStrategy, PayPal, Square, El Salvador, ETFs (exchange-traded funds).
21. HODL, moon.
