I was only 17 years old when I learned what cryptocurrency is, because even then I was interested in any kind of income where I could earn even a little to start helping my family. I came across a video on YouTube that talked about cryptocurrency for beginners. The first coin I learned about was not Bitcoin but Ripple, but after that I learned that there are many coins and they are all different. So I decided that I wanted to invest a few hundred and see what it would turn into.
