Out of literally thousands of options in cryptocurrency, how does anyone choose which is worth investing in? This particular task is a headache in itself.
There's a ton of excellent accessible information out there that can help you start, secure and use a cryptocurrency to its fullest abilities, what seems missing from most of them is how exactly do you pick the cryptocurrency to start with anyway?
Perhaps the best way to start is choosing one of the widely accepted "big name cryptos". Cryptos like BTC and BCH are excellent networks to get your feet stand well.
Bitcoin is an ideal investment because it's so widely known and has been running the longest game by far. Where it becomes difficult is finding the right buy-in window, high trading fees, long time wait and its biggest dump despite it is worth thousand dollars- "start big, yet smaller".
In contrast, Bitcoincash(BCH) is far less expensive, works with smaller wait time and comes with a much deeper well of available tech exploration for information and trading. BCH is the "granddaddy" you're looking for. Do your homework really on excellent social medium like Reddit to have some valuable information regarding investments in cryptocurrency to get you start well.
I spent my time collecting ETH too. I am not sure whether it is worth investing with ETH but it is cheaper. I agree that BTC and BCH are worth the risk of investing though BCH is actually quite new to me.
