  No harm to diversify a small portion of portfolio into cryptos that might fetch crazy gains if strike the right one. Last time my friend turned his $500 into $20,000 in some pump & dump coins in days.

  yes, Amazon have been using eth blockchain for many years, but now there are better cryptos out there as compared to eth, overall the crypto market is very competitive.

  Nice. Dont own cryptos but seems like there is a growing use-case
