I bet if you polled this community asking “which coin was your first cryptocurrency” you’d likely be able to tell what era they first invested.

My first coin was Litecoin followed by Bitcoin. Still believe and own both. Can you guess when I first got involved?

The answer, 2017. Coinbase was trending and there were only 3 coins to choose from. BTC, ETH, LTC. And I bought LTC first because it was the cheapest full coin option.

It was months later before I really started understanding crypto and decided to add a few others also.

If you polled the newer generations I wonder what they would say?

First coin, Solana? XRP? Dogecoin or other memecoins? Probably 2021 era.

Perhaps I’m wrong. But I bet there’s a pattern.
