My dad wants to invest in crypto

He is not computer savvy and knows zero about it. He has been seeing ads and got to investigating the last couple of weeks. I told him it’s probably best to stay away. Any help is appreciated.

What are you asking for? There is a whole thread on this.
Does he want to gamble on a poopoo coin?
Does he want a long term store of value?
Is he interested in a layer 2 gamble?
Just go to the crypto thread and start reading/asking questions.

I'm not saying its the top of the cycle, but I think people need to be careful when inviting others to the space during the bull market.
The most unproductive situation in all this is fresh entrants come in at the worst time (peak bull market) , forever feel burnt, and never come back.

Classic you and not “your dad” but Coinbase is the easiest.

When Coinbase gets to #1 App again, that’s my sell signal.
I believe it jumped from over 100 last week to 40 as of now.

That's a pretty popular opinion in the space. I'll start DCA'ing out when it's number 2.

Guess I’ll start at #3 then haha.
Realistically it will go from 10 to #1 overnight.

I take it you’re a very wealthy crypto investor?

Just a small fish. GL to you and your dad in the crypto journey.

Tell him to buy some usdc on coinbase and earn 5%. Start learning more about the different networks, offerings, etc.. When he gets impatient with 5%, start gambling

Goddamn this cycle went fast.

If he wants to gamble tell him it's cheaper and easier to play the lottery. Basically the same thing

The top is in
Tell him he should only be looking at BTC imo. The risk/reward isn't really worth it with the other stuff at an older age

He needs to understand float. He doesn't. I would stay away.

DCA into one of the new Bitcoin ETF's like IBIT. Don't dump a ton of money into it at one time. I wouldn't listen to the negative posts about cryptocurrency. A ton of money has and can be made in crypto. The negativity usually comes from people that never have invested in it, so they would be the last ones to listen too. I've been investing in it for years, and have made way more than I would have playing traditional markets. 1-3% allocation would not be a bad place to start.

The mental gymnastics I see these days is pretty incredible. I guess that's why people like the space, it's literally entertainment
