Part 4B
4.6 Practical Steps to Begin with Cryptocurrency
1. Get Educated: Read, research, and follow credible Christian or ethical financial educators. Never invest in what you don’t understand.
2. Choose a Reliable Exchange: Register with a reputable crypto exchange like Binance or Coinbase. Complete identity verification to secure your account.
3. Create a Wallet: Store your coins safely avoid keeping large sums on exchanges. (Use wallets like Trust Wallet or MetaMask.)
4. Start Small: Begin with small, manageable investments. Even $10 can help you learn.
5. Diversify and Observe: Don’t invest all your funds in one coin. Spread across projects with purpose and potential.
6. Stay Spiritually Grounded: Pray for wisdom before every financial decision (James 1:5). Remember: your goal is stewardship, not speculation.
4.7 Real-Life Example: The Power of Digital Seeds
A young Christian entrepreneur in Kenya started saving $20 a month in Bitcoin in 2017. By 2021, that small seed had grown into enough capital to start a tech training center for youth.
He turned digital coins into kingdom impact.
4.8 Dangers to Avoid in the Crypto World
1. Greed: Never chase “get-rich-quick” promises.
2. Ignorance: Study before investing.
3. Scams: Be cautious of fake platforms or Ponzi schemes.
4. Fear: Don’t let fear of technology stop your growth.
5. Pride: Always give God glory for increase.
Crypto is powerful, but only under the control of a Spirit-led mind.
“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” — Proverbs 10:22
