Crypto & DeFi for Beginners: How Not to Get Stuck at the Peak
The crypto (cryptocurrency) and DeFi (decentralized finance) markets are creating waves of innovation worldwide. They are gaining attention not only from young individuals and businesses but also from traditional sectors like aquaculture and agriculture. However, “buying the top” – entering at the highest price and getting stuck when the market drops – is a common fear, not only for new investors but also for businesses looking to adopt Crypto & DeFi. This article will explain basic concepts, new trends, and how to avoid “buying the top” in the journey of joining the blockchain and Web3.
