Crypto for dummies 101
In today's article, we are going to go through a quick tutorial on the basics of cryptocurrency. Now I'm going to try to keep things simple in this blog and not too overwhelming so that the crypto newbies can understand it clearly. One of the main reasons I decided to write this blog was that I'm starting to see more public interest in cryptos. It's not even the general public but I'm also seeing more of my friends and family take more interest in it as well. So that's the main reason I decided to write this blog article today. With all that being stated we can now jump into the article.
How to buy crypto and where
Now one of the first things you need to learn when it comes to purchasing and investing in crypto is how you do it and where. Now there are multiple apps you can use on your phone to start buying crypto. If you are the type of person who doesn't like to make investment decisions from your phone then you can also use the exchanges' websites as most mobile exchanges also have a website. Now you may ask which apps or websites do I use? Now there really isn't a simple answer to that because it depends on what crypto you want to buy and whether that exchange is allowed in your country. If a certain exchange is a ban in your country and that exchange is the only centralized exchange you can get it from then it's possible that you can use a Dex (decentralized exchange). The only downside to using a Dex is the gas fees that are associated with them. Now if you don't know what your doing then it's recommended you don't use a Dex. However, A universal exchange that is accepted almost anywhere and has almost every major crypto listed is kucoin they also have low fees.
What cryptos to buy
Now this question can only be truly answered by yourself as you have to weigh out the risk and benefits of buying that crypto. However, what I can tell you is that you need to focus on the goal of the project and its market cap. Now when it comes to the goal of the project you need to figure out exactly what the problem is the team behind the crypto is trying to solve. If it's something that already a million other projects are trying to solve then it's likely you shouldn't be trying to invest in that crypto. You want to try to find a unique project or at least a project where it was the first of its kind as usually the projects who get to the first punch are usually the ones to succeed the most just take a look at Ethereum which was the first of it's kind or Dogecoin even as it was the first meme coin. Another point of interest when it comes to cryptocurrencies is the market cap of the crypto you buying. The market cap tells you the value of the crypto and can help you gauge how much percentage gains you can gain from the crypto it can also tell you where the project is heading and if it's legit.
