Cryptocurrency World – beginners guide

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Hello dear Steemians,

Here I am with a first article about a thing that became a kind of part of my life since I discovered it.

This “on face mistress” from my life is no one other than Cryptocurrencies World.

Why I am calling it “on face mistress”? Because is mainstream visible and it seems to be a kind of love for several people in the same time, people who get really involved, who put passion, who have big moments of happiness and disappointments in the same time.
On the other side, it offers you what the other can’t :) but, you can lose everything in just a moment. :)

Through this article, I will try to bring in your attention the “primary facts” to look for when you enter in the cryptocurrency world or, at least… I will share with you my understanding.

When I heard for the first time about Bitcoin, I had in mind like a pause :) …after few moments, I found myself asking: can this be real? …it will be possible to buy a beer with this “coin”? …hmmm interesting I was saying …and that was all for several years.

2 years back I re-discovered this “Bitcoin World” and since then I am accumulating as much as possible. What I accumulate? ...several things: information, coins, new ideas, new emotions, new business trends… a new world.

Let’s try to point the things:

  1. INFORMATION

As in any other domain, the first and the most valuable thing you must obtain is information.
Without being well informed with good quality information, without having information in time is difficult, if not impossible, to succeed.

You can get information from different sources… starting from the website of one particular coin, to different financial news websites or, market analysis websites or, social-media channels or, friends or, whatever you can interact to and get information.

Please find bellow few of my suggestions:

News websites:

https://www.coindesk.com/

Social-media channels: Tweeter, Facebook, Telegram, Steemit Comunity

  1. COINS

To accumulate coins can be easy if you have money to invest or if you have good equipment for mining.
The “tricky” part is to know how and for how long to hold them and how to exchange them. But, discussing about this subject is not the goal of this article. I am presenting you here only the best coins at the moment. The decision about which one to accumulate is yours and you must get informed by your own. We can change opinions and share information but the real decider is you. :)

At the present date, the top 10 ten crypto coins according with the website http://www.coinmarketcap.com/ are: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dash, NEM, BitConnect, NEO, Monero. Take a look on the image:

Good luck in your investigation and don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have news.

  1. NEW EMOTIONS

This new emotions start to appear since the first time you get in touch with the Cryptocurrencies World. You may have a new sensation of indifference or you can be excited and you will search for more.

If your interest was awakened, then most probably you will reach that point in which you will start to exchange the coins. There are several FOREX platforms or Cryptocurrency Exchanges or Markets (like Poloniex, Kraken, Bittrex, Bitfinex, etc.) where you can trade your coins. The link bellow is presenting you the major markets at the present.

You will decide by your own when will be the moment to get new emotions. :)

  1. NEW IDEAS, NEW BUSINESS TREND …NEW WORLD

This is where we are now in this Cryptocurrency World.

We are in a historical moment when new ideas start to be implemented in the real life, in payments, in business, in everything.
I consider that the new way in which we can exchange information, send money, organize the activity is creating a new world.

Let’s discover it!

If you have ideas, additions, suggestions or you just want to share your positive and constructive thoughts, feel free to write your comment.

Enjoy!

I'd add that bitcoin is king, and before looking into alts, everybody should make sure they own just a bit of Bitcoin ;)
