Bitcoin has rallied sharply, but buying it and hoping the price rises is only one way to approach crypto. Investors can buy and hold, earn staking rewards or move into riskier territory through leveraged trading.

In the second instalment of Fear & Greed's monthly series with Coinbase, Sean Aylmer speaks with Hassan Ahmed, Country Director for Singapore at Coinbase, about how newcomers should approach crypto. 

They discuss the importance of position sizing, how staking and leverage work, whether Bitcoin is becoming less volatile, and the emerging prospect of AI agents trading on an investor’s behalf.
