With all the buzz surrounding cryptocurrency, many investors might be ready to take the plunge. The fantastic gains don't hurt, either. Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency, is up more than 200% this year alone. Shiba Inu, the 2021 cryptocurrency breakout story, is up a mind-boggling 60,000,000% over the past year. It's enough to whet any potential investor's appetite.
But between Bitcoin and Shiba Inu, there's a whole slew of cryptocurrencies growing in market cap. It can be confusing, since many of them offer similar benefits. That's why if you're new to cryptocurrency, I recommend getting your feet wet in a cryptocurrency that's easy to understand but also offers high potential for gains. That's why I'd start with Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).
