It’s my first time… I’m kind of nervous

I have never invested in anything before and am interested in crypto. I do not know very much however with the increasing popularity of NFTs and using crypto to purchase things online I figured now is the time.

From what I have read the majority of people are expecting Ethereum to make a leap similar to Bitcoin had this past year. How realistic is it for Ethereum to reach let’s say 10k by the end of 2022? I want to focus on one crypto and just continue to stock up on it throughout the year.

Besides $ETH and $BTC what other cryptos should I research. I want to play it safe. $ETH I believe has brightest immediate future but I am interested in feedback. I could use reliable resources and knowledgeable experts that have helped some of you. Much appreciated
