I stick with Bitcoin and CRO because I like their debit cards.
Low risk options like Solana or ADA, medium risk like Hedera or Theta, and high risk like Pepe or Bonk.
80% in Bitcoin and 20% in Ethereum is a solid way to start for a beginner. Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with having 100% in Bitcoin either. Just make sure they don’t use any money they might need in case it drops.
Ethereum and Bitcoin are great starting points. Other options are best left for experienced traders unless she’s ready for some tricky experiences.
Go with Bitcoin. Your friend can easily use CashApp for purchases.
If you’re a beginner, I’d suggest sticking with Bitcoin and Ethereum. You could also explore some tokens on DEXs, and I’ve always liked LINK, DIA, or BAND. It’d be good to try moving funds around on lower-cost chains like BSC, Polygon, or Avalanche to learn how wallets work.
