Fellow Texan here. I first joined the crypto market last week with $100 on ETH. Got some alts with Tron and Nav. I can not wait to see these things explode after holidays are over in China.
That should be a challenge you do to get new people into the crypto space. $100 to $1000 in a month. What makes it so hard are the fees.
I have not been in crypto very long but I did start about 8 months ago with my first mining rig. I started mining Eth and have grown to 2 small mining rigs. Crypto has been very interesting and I now have bout $8000 invested in Neo, Neblio, Pivx, Trx and Sub. I can't wait for the market to return to normal. As of right now Neo is my only positive asset. I also hold the Eth that I mine like a crypto bank.
I hope the lunar New Year in China coming to a close is the answer. I too am real new and jumped in pretty deep....it hasn't been great around the house the last 2 weeks as the Mrs wasn't real big on me getting into this.
