You can start off by buying bitcoin or etherium to be more "safe" in the market, read up on everything like how the blockchain work, how PoW and PoS work and before you buy into a coin, read up about it, check coinmarketcap website to see the whole marketcap, the circulating supply etc. What you really need is knowledge about the whole technology and the market you want to invest in. Remember that every crypto investment is very high risk but no high reward without high risk
