And don’t invest more than you’re prepared to lose...All rules of investment should be followed, like diversification. If you buy Bitcoin and Ethereum, don’t think you’re very diversified because they’re similar.

He founded Synthetix, an Ethereum-based synthetic asset issuance platform, from his Bondi home in 2016,  a year after he began investing in Bitcoin.

His advice to newcomers?Manage your risk through diversification.

KAIN WARWICK

Always start with things like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have kind of demonstrated some longevity over the last decade or so and make sure it’s a small part of your portfolio so you have some exposure without being overexposed.

Cobb began investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP in 2017 and has been trading exclusively in digital currency ever since.  He won't reveal his wealth − only that his portfolio is worth a multi-million-dollar figure.

Net worth: Undisclosed

With the market diving in recent weeks, Cobb’s advice is to invest for the long term and educate yourself about the currency because “when people are getting rich, you’ve got people getting poor even faster".

If you build a solid portfolio for say, a five year plan, you’ll have things like Bitcoin and Ethereum, you won’t be controlled by your emotions and will accept the volatility but have faith it’s going to be around in the future.

Crypto YouTube guru Queenie Tan discovered crypto in 2017, and within two years, bought her first home. Investing mainlyin Ethereum, Bitcoin and Cardano, she is on her way to becoming very wealthy.

Net worth: $500,000

She learnt the hard way about riding the bull and bear markets after her portfolio dropped 90 per cent when the market crashed in 2018.  Her most valuable tip to investors: don't pull out when the market  dips.

QUEENIE TAN

There’s a lot of noise out there, but I think it’s important to only invest in things you have conviction in, that you will hold onto even if the price drops. Don’t invest because of hype.
