To be honest, I only understood this next point later on too: be cautious of claims that “you need to migrate your tokens for an upgrade.” Ethereum network upgrades don’t require users to swap their coins.
$ETH has been Ethereum’s native coin for paying Gas since the mainnet launched in 2015. Current price: 2375.84.
If you don’t understand something, avoid taking a large position at first. It’s safer to try with a small amount.
