Crypto and getting started

So I decided to open an account on an exchange and patiently awaiting my account verification into my bank. Meanwhile the bitcoin and ether is going parabolic well until today. Watched bitcoin do a 400.00 plus drop. As I erite this it has rebounded a tad. I feel I am going to drop money into etherium as i sort of see it has more potential. That being said it has been painful to watch the explosive growth and my hands being tied until i get through this process. I believe this will be the future of currency so you might as well get aquainted with it. Really kicking myself for not getting in much sooner. 

Have a great evening.
