      <h2>What is Crypto?</h2>
      <p>Cryptocurrency is an online store of money shared across a network of computers using blockchain to track
        transactions. The blockchain is basicly a big public ledger where all of the transactions on the network are
        stored. What this means in simple terms is that cryptocurrency is money in digital form, that can be used to
        buy, trade, and transfer across the web. The biggest and first of these was Bitcoin, but many alt coins and
        tokens have begun to spring up recently, and are worth looking into.
        Many coins and tokens have other secondary uses, like recording data, running applications or storing files on
        their network, making them more than just a currency.</p>
      <p>
        It would be easy to ignore crypto, and overlook it as a new fad, or potential bubble ready to pop, but there are
        so many great new technologies coming out every day related to blockchain and DeFi or decentralized finance.
        These tools allow us to be our own bank, and can be quite advanced, but also allow us to do things like sending money to relatives overseas without leaving the house. To get started The most important things to
        know are to do your own research on any coin you may want to purchase (look up the “white paper” on their
        website!), and avoid panic reactions when working with crypto, for example selling because “It’s crashing down
        as we speak!” can lead to selling low, and further panic buying at high prices, trying to catch up later.
      </p>
      <p>
        One of the best strategies for beginners is called DCA, Dollar Cost Averaging, and boils down to buying a set
        amount of a crypto (ex, $5, $20 or $100), or whatever amount you feel comfortable with possibly losing, each
        payday, or monthly, or weekly. Whatever you do, do it consistently and stick to the plan. The idea is to keep
        your average buying price low, and to increase your investment in a slow and steady way.</p>
      <h3>Some of my favorite investments to start with...</h3>

      <h2>Where can I buy it?</h2>
      <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devonp702/cryptoForCats/main/buy.png" style="position: relative; float: right; max-width: 20vw; margin: 5px;" alt="Some crypto logos" />
      <p>When buying crypto you don't need to buy a whole "coin" at a time. For example, its possible to start with just
        $5 of BTC (Bitcoin). Actually, most new investors into bitcoin have less than 0.01 BTC saved up because of its
        steep price per coin. Every little bit helps, five dollars a month ago could easily turn into fifty dollars with
        time, inflation, and patience. The following websites can help you get started on your investment into
        cryptocurrency. </p>
      <p>
        <ul>
        <li><a href="https://www.coinbase.com/join/philli_lm9" target="_blank">Coinbase</a></li>
        <article>Coinbase is a good place to get started. I include them on the list because of their stakeing options, and "Earn Crypto by learning" videos and rewards. Actually using coinbase for the long term will vary based on your experience. Most people run into inconveniant errors after a while and move on. </article>
        <li><a href='https://gemini.com/share/pz5kwrt9' target="_blank">Gemini</a></li><article>This is my go to trading app on my phone. So far they offer monthly free withdrawls of coins you buy, so you can store them in your personal wallets. Gemini Earn accounts are a great place to invest crypto for interest. </article>
        <li><a href="https://uphold.com/signup?referral=e7a5476ad2" target="_blank">Uphold</a></li>
        <article>I like to use Uphold to store my <a href="https://brave.com/" target="_blank">Brave browser</a> rewards. There are many options that you can transfer funds into, including stocks and crypto.
        </article>
        <li><a href="https://crypto.com/exchange/" target="_blank">crypto.com</a></li><article>I don't use Crypto.com, but many people find that it's worth taking a look at. You can buy and check prices on a wide variety of coins and tokens.</article>
        <li><a href="https://www.binance.com/en" target="_blank">binance</a></li>
        <article>Binance is home of the BNB coin, and Binance smartchain. It's like ETH but run by a company. I have not used it, but it's very popular.</article>

      <h2>Can I get free Crypto?</h2>
      <h3>BTC Fountain</h3>
      <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devonp702/cryptoForCats/main/6sided_dice_(cropped).jpg" style="position: relative; float: left; max-width: 25vw; margin: 5px;" alt="Some colorfull dice" />
      <p>My favorite place to get free bitcoin is on <a href="https://freebitco.in/?r=39626949"
          target="_blank">Freebitcoin.com</a>. Their main site is something caled a fountain in crypto cyrcles. A
        fountain is a site that gives out free crypto in exchange for visiting a site and clicking a button. While it's
        only 0.2 cents USD, it can add up with time. Freebitcoin.com has been around since 2013 and is transparent in
        how they move their money. One downside is that you need to have 30,000 satoshi saved up before you withdraw,
        and at 0.2 cent per hour, that will take a long time. One workaround is to wait until you have a nice stash
        saved up
        (over 3,000 satoshi), deposit 30,000 satoshi, and collect 4% interest on your balance for a few days before
        using the
        auto withdraw feature when you are ready to trade. There are also many gambling tools available, which is where
        they make most of their money, so stay clear of the sports betting and hi low games if you do not want to
        gamble. This site is a free and fun way to get your first cryptocurrency.</p>
      <p>Freebitcoin.com also has it's own gambling/gaming themed crypto token for sale called FunFair or FUN token
        available to buy and sell. My last two tips are to always use your free daily spin from your email for the best
        returns, and to save your rewards points up for the free BTC bonus rewards to multiply your hourly rolls.
      </p>
      <h3>Stakeing and Interest</h3>
      <p>Some coins and tokens, will give you a reward for holding their coin. This is called stakeing, and can act like
        earning interest at the bank. Stakeing sometimes will cost a little up front, but it works like a savings
        acount, as long as you leave the money in your wallet, you can earn rewards. Please remember to check the whitepaper on the coins to see the terms you are
        agreeing to!
      </p>
      <p>
        A much less complicated way to get interest is by using a trading platform like Gemini that offers earning
        accounts. The main difference is that stakeing is done on the blockchain, making them decenteralized, and these "earn" accounts are run through a private company.
