Crypto as the only option for young folks like me

I just turned 25 last year.

I’ve been investing in crypto for just about a year and a half. Now, I’m not investing significantly large amounts of money, but I am allocating a fair percentage of the money I can get my hands in, into crypto.

That's because buying a house, owning some property, or even renting a place has seen prices increase substantially (in most countries it seems).

Look at my country, Portugal:

House prices rose by 4.9% in 2015, 5.7% in 2016, 7% in 2017, 9.7% in 2018, 11.7% in 2019 and 6% in 2020. In the capital alone, Lisbon metropolitan area, property prices were up by 10.31% in Oct 2021 compared to the same month the previous year.

I've taken the time to learn the fundamentals and do my research (I've been learning about blockchain since 2018). I buy good crypto that I feel confident in the long term. I’ll be accumulating and staking for the next few years and while I know I won't get rich or be a millionaire, I'm cementing myself into a more stable monetary future.

Patience is key and I hope more people here have the same mindset as me. Please don't look at charts daily and don't criticize every single project for every small bump along the road. Most of the big projects are still in development, have a good roadmap, and are actively improving themselves. Think long term and invest when the market is down (or just DCA).
