In this segment, Mark Kohler advises beginners on how to begin crypto trading. He emphasizes the importance of education first, suggesting listeners find two or three reputable crypto podcasts and read introductory books available on Amazon. He also recommends his own podcast episodes covering crypto topics from the past few years as a resource. For practical experience, Kohler proposes allocating a modest amount of capital—$500 to $1,000—into well‑established cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, rather than more traditional stocks like Apple or Tesla. The goal is to purchase these major coins, monitor their performance, and learn through hands‑on observation.

Chapters

What do you recommend? If you want to get started in crypto, obviously start learning. Find two or three good podcasts on crypto that are talking about industry trends. There's some great books on the basics of crypto on Amazon. I humbly say go to my podcast and look at shows I've done on crypto over the last three, four years. Sometimes you just got to do it to like, understand it. If you've got 500 bucks to burn, or a thousand, and instead of buying Apple stock or Tesla stock, go buy some Bitcoin or Solana or Ethereum, some of the big five big ten coins that are out there, and and start watching and learning about it.
