The First €100: A Step-by-Step Walkthrough

You've decided to buy your first crypto. €100. That's it. No moonshot, no lottery ticket, just a small step to learn the ropes with money you can afford to lose.

In this episode, Riley walks you through exactly what that first €100 looks like — from picking a platform to splitting the money between Bitcoin and Ethereum, and why you never leave your crypto sitting on the exchange after you buy it.

What you'll learn:

• Why Kraken is the exchange we default to for European beginners (and where Coinbase fits in)
• Why we split €50 into Bitcoin and €50 into Ethereum instead of picking one
• The three moments where beginners lose money — and how to avoid all of them
• What "not your keys, not your coins" actually means when you're holding €100
