Is anyone able to offer advice about getting into Crypto?

I’m very new to this and clearly have missed the boat somewhat but have decided to give it a try regardless.

I have recently been paid in bitcoin, and whilst I have no understanding of this, it has piqued my interest so much so that I have been doing some research and have listed for some presales.

I know I’m probably not going to get rich quick (damn you 2009 me!) but I am definitely wanting to invest and see where it takes me.

I have had some experience with shares, but absolutely none with crypto currencies. There seems to be similarities, but I have trouble with the fact that I’m not looking at tangible assets for a company or a commodity.

Please help!?!? Haha
