The Giant of Cryptocurrency

In March of this year, great 2017, I began a conversation with my oldest brother about the ever-growing cryptocurrency world.  It began with a simple question: "So what exactly is Ethereum?"  After that, it progressed with nothing but the utmost of interest from this very eager, unemployed 14 year old.
I began delving into this new world and experimenting with what I could invest.  Apparently there wasn't an age limit on who could invest.  This took me by extreme surprise and I continued on by asking if there was a limit on the amount you could invest.  Again, the answer was no.  Wow!  No age limit or money limit?  Could this be possible?  Why yes, it could be.  So after finally convincing my Dad that this could be a really cool experience, I proceeded to invest a mere $5.  It didn't even count up to one Ethereum, but it didn't matter.  This was an experiment...right?  I mean, I didn't really expect anything to happen.  But, lo and behold, day after day my investment grew in worth.  $5 turned into $10 then $20, and so on until I had almost $50!  After about the first month I actually slowly lost interest in what I had invested and let it sit in my account whether it be gaining or losing, it didn't really matter.  Later I opened my Coinbase app to see how much my money was worth.  Could I be seeing things?  How was that possible?!  My minuscule $5 had turned into $90!  I was so happy.  I thought about cashing out that very instant.  My finger momentarily hovered over the "sell" button while my brain comprehended what I was about to do.  No, no.  I couldn't sell without consulting my Dad.  When I did, he said it would be best to hold because what's the point of holding any money if you're just going to take it out a month or two after investing?  So I waited patiently and once again had minimal interest.  It just so happened that the next time I opened my Coinbase app to see what my money was worth, it had dived down into the $50 range again.  Ugh.  Oh well.  I'd let it just sit and rot in my account again.
Now back to present day.  What day is it again?  Oh yeah...I never want to eat a bite of food again.  It's the day after Thanksgiving.  I had been tracking my ETH more recently as it has been gradually going up into the $90's again.  I woke up at 8:50 am and wondered around my social media's for awhile before walking into the kitchen of my Grandmother and clicked on my Coinbase app.  Patiently awaiting my hopes and dreams to be crushed naturally assuming that it had dived again.  A slight sigh and a roll of the eye may have escaped my depressed body as I waited for the loading wheel to spin around.  Finally it came u--p?  Um...can I take a moment to just pass out and jump up and down from excitement?  My Ethereum...recall that I invested $5 in March...had now reached $101.83!!!  The first time it had hit $100.
Now you may be wondering, "Okay so what.  You're Ethereum hit $100 for the first time.  Good for you!  Now tell me why did you waste this five minutes of my life to tell me something I have very little (if any) care about.  Besides, this doesn't benefit me any so why would I care?"
Well my good fellow, I will tell you.  I wrote this post for anyone who may be hesitating to invest in any cryptocurrency.  First of all, don't be afraid to get advise from other people.  There are so many coins that you could invest in.  Always remember that the longer you leave your investment in your account, the better.  You're in this for the long-term profit, not the gain a dollar or two profit.  If I, a now fifteen year old unemployed teen can invest a mere $5 and gain $100, so can you!  Let this be your calling to emerge from the doubts that hold you and enter the crytpocurrency age armed with the confidences of one who has experienced the opulence.
