I know, these coins fluctuate quite a bit. There are a lot more people involved in the stock market on a daily basis, so the prices don't fluctuate as much in the short term. That's a good reason to mention that dollar-cost-averaging is the best way to invest into anything because you'll buy all of the lows and highs rather than trying to jump in and jump out. If you jump in with $1000 seven days before your snap shot, it will cause you to lose a lot of money, compared to putting in $100 per month of the same $1000. It averages it out over time and allows you to purchase at various levels.
