Hi, I'm @ActualAdviceBTC.

You probably found my guide from twitter. This is the new 2017 version and is CURRENTLY A WORK IN PROGRESS. I'm not finished rewriting all of it yet. You are reading the main blog/table of contents/homepage which links to all the other blogs in the guide series.

For better or worse, you've been seduced by all the controversy/hype and want to trade Bitcoin -- one of the most treacherous/manipulated/profitable currency markets (depending on who you ask).

This comprehensive guide series will teach you all you need to start trading cryptocurrencies, guaranteed to turn any cringey question asking noob into a formidable journeyman of the crypto markets. I will tell you exactly where to go, what to do, and which options to pick. Go through the guide posts in order if you're new.

Entering the Market

Do you even have Bitcoins to trade? If not, follow this flowchart to figure out the easiest way to acquire some!

Opening a Trading Account

You got Bitcoins and you're ready to trade! But where? Which exchange out of the hundreds out there offer the best liquidity, fees, products, security, service, etc.? Fortunately, I have it narrowed down for you guys:

• Essential Exchanges for Bitcoin Traders

• Essential Exchanges for Altcoin Traders

  • The Art of the Shill - That notorious list of guidelines for trading shitcoins

Extras

Once you get exchanges figured out, arm yourself to the teeth for that extra edge:

• Chat Groups

• Trading Apps

• Charting Sites

  • BitcoinWisdom - most streamlined and lean but can be buggy
  • CryptoWatch - better than wisdom but i just find the layout clunky
  • TradingView - the best place to draw charts

• Multi-Chart Setups:
