Collect some sweets!
You might be thinking what is this sweet means, it is the candies where you can collect every day by logging in on your account. It is like a daily bonus and delivering their gratitude in a simple way.
Now, is collecting candies is worth it? Well, in my own opinion it’s a yes! Why? Because you can purchase their products using these candies such as their book entitled “How to Bitcoin” where you can read the history of Bitcoin and how the forks happened and “How to DeFi” book where you can read the well-explained of DeFi.
In my case, I bought these books and guess what? The books are worth of $14 (correct me if I am wrong) but with the use of my candies, they gave it for free!
You can also buy other products, go ahead, and check it out! I don’t know why but collecting those candies is addictive, I haven’t missed a single day to collect them.
Search for different coins
In investing in crypto, one of the most important is having a research, as what the experts said, “Do your own research” and if you are having a hard time to search in one coin, the Coingecko will provide it!
By just searching the name of the coin, its market cap, supply, contract address and any other information that you need is included!
You can even join on the official telegram channel of the coin that you want to interact on other investors.
The story of Coingecko
Before this article ends, let us appreciate the story and how the Coingecko grows every year of developing. The information listed below was from their official website.
In April 2014, coingecko launched to provide a 360 overview on the crypto market. October 2017, they launched its quarterly report. The daily newsletter was launched in April 2018 to provide curated crypto news. In May 2018 they launched free public API with over 20 endpoints available and in July, same year launched their official IOS and Android app.

In the year 2020, they had a lot of updates such as the podcasts, the How to DeFi book the sweet candies, tracking your portfolio and their DeFi and Yield farming pages. In the year 2021, they still don’t have an update.
