Over the past few weeks – with bitcoin's price shooting to new highs (it's trading for more than $51,000 today) and institutional investors and folks like Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk jumping aboard the train – we've fielded a lot of questions about cryptocurrencies in our feedback inbox...
And personally, I (Corey McLaughlin) have also gotten questions from friends who want to "give it a try" as well. (I've told them the same thing I did a year ago... Buy at least a little bitcoin through a reputable cryptocurrency exchange to get started, but no more than you can afford to lose – and you might want to check out the "DeFi" movement, too.)
