Beginner's Guide: Introduction in Cryptocurrencies

Preface To Invest in Cryptocurrencies

The first cryptocurrency which comes into the actuality was Bitcoin which was erected on Blockchain technology and presumably it was launched in 2009 by a mysterious person Satoshi Nakamoto. At the time writing this blog, 17 million bitcoin had been booby-trapped and it's believed that total 21 million bitcoin could be booby-trapped. The other most popular cryptocurrencies are Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Golem, Civic and hard spoons of Bitcoin like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold.

It's advised to druggies to not put all plutocrat in one cryptocurrency and try to avoid investing at the peak of cryptocurrency bubble. It has been observed that price has been suddenly dropped down when it's on the peak of the crypto bubble. Since the cryptocurrency is a unpredictable request so druggies must invest the quantum which they can go to lose as there's no control of any government on cryptocurrency as it's a decentralized cryptocurrency.

Steve Wozniak,Co-founder of Apple prognosticated that Bitcoin is a real gold and it'll dominate all the currencies like USD, EUR, INR, and ASD in future and come global currency in coming times.

Why and Why Not Invest in Cryptocurrencies?

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency which came into actuality and later around 1600 cryptocurrencies has been launched with some unique point for each coin.

Some of the reasons which I've endured and would like to partake, cryptocurrencies have been created on the decentralized platform- so druggies do not bear a third party to transfer cryptocurrency from one destination to another one, unlike edict currency where a stoner need a platform like Bank to transfer plutocrat from one account to another. Cryptocurrency erected on a veritably safe blockchain technology and nearly o chance to hack and steal your cryptocurrencies until you do not partake your some critical information.

You should always avoid buying cryptocurrencies at the high point of cryptocurrency-bubble. Numerous of us buy the cryptocurrencies at the peak in the stopgap to make quick plutocrat and fall victim to the hype of bubble and lose their plutocrat. It's better for druggies to do a lot of exploration before investing the plutocrat. It's always good to put your plutocrat in multiple cryptocurrencies rather of one as it has been noticed that many cryptocurrencies grow more, some average if other cryptocurrencies go in the red zone.

Cryptocurrencies to Concentrate

In 2014, Bitcoin holds the 90 request and rest of the cryptocurrencies holds the remaining 10. In 2017, Bitcoin is still dominating the crypto request but its share has sprucely fallen from 90 to 38 and Altcoins like Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple has grown fleetly and captured the utmost of the request.

Where and How to buy Cryptocurrencies?

While some times ago it wasn't easy to buy cryptocurrencies but now the druggies have numerous available platforms.

In 2015, India has two major bitcoin platforms Unocoin portmanteau and Zebpay portmanteau where druggies can buy and vend bitcoin only. The druggies have to buy bitcoin from portmanteau only but not from another person. There was a price difference in buying and dealing rate and druggies has to pay some nominal figure for completing their deals.

In 2017, Cryptocurrency assiduity grew extensively and the price of Bitcoin grown spontaneously, especially in last six months of 2017 which forced druggies to look for druthers of Bitcoin and crossed 14 lakhs in the Indian request.

As Unodax and Zebpay are the two major platforms in India who were dominating the request with 90 of request share-which was dealing in Bitcoin only. It gives the chance to other association to grow with other altcoins and indeed forced Unocoin and others to add further currencies to their platform.

Unocoin, one of India's leading cryptocurrency and blockchain company launched an exclusive platform UnoDAX Exchange for their druggies to trade multiple cryptocurrencies piecemeal from trading of Bitcoin in Unocoin. The difference between both platforms was-Unocion was furnishing instant steal and sell of bitcoin only whereas on UnoDAX, druggies can place an order of any available cryptocurrency and if it matches with the philanthropist, the order will be executed.

Other major exchanges available to trade cryptocurrencies in India are Koinex, Coinsecure, Bitbns, WazirX.

Druggies have to open an account in any of the exchange with signing-up with dispatch id and submitting the KYC details. Once their account gets vindicated, one can start trading of coins of their choice.

Druggies have to probe well before investing in any coins and not fall into the trap of cryptocurrency-bubble. Druggies must probe the exchange credibility, translucency, security features and numerous further.

All Exchanges charge some nominal figure on each sale. There are two types of charges-Maker figure and Taker figure. Piecemeal from the sale figure, one has to pay the transfer figure, if you want to transfer your cryptocurrencies in other exchange or your private portmanteau. The charges solely depend on the coins and exchange as the different exchange has difference price module for transferring the coins.

Major Altcoins other than Bitcoin

As mentioned over, Bitcoin is dominating the request with a 38 request share followed by Ripple, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash. Exchanges like UnoDAX, Bitfinex, Kraken, Bitstamp have listed numerous other coins like Golem, Civic, Raiden Network, Kyber Network, Basic Attention, 0X, Augur, Monero, Tron and numerous further. If any of the coins match your portfolio also you must buy it.

But, you must put the plutocrat in the request which you can go to lose as cryptocurrency request is veritably unpredictable and no government has control over it.

When to Buy?

There's no hard rule when to buy your favorite cryptocurrency. But one must probe the request stability. You shouldn't but at the peak of a cryptocurrency bubble or when the price is crashing continuously. Always stylish time is considered when the price is stable fairly at a low position for some time.

Cryptocurrencies Storage Method

Before buying any cryptocurrency one must understand how to keep your cryptocurrency safe.

Generally, all the exchanges give the storing installation where you can keep your coins safely. One mustn't partake their stoner details, word, 2FA when you hold cryptocurrency on exchanges.

Paper Portmanteau, Tackle portmanteau, Software portmanteau are some of the channels where one can store their cryptocurrency.

Paper Wallet Paper portmanteau is an offline cold storehouse system to keep your cryptocurrency. It prints your private and public key on a piece of a paper where QR law is also published. One has to just overlook the QR law for their unborn deals. Why is it safe? No need to worry about the hack of your account or attack of any vicious malware. You just need to keep your piece of the paper safe in a locker and if possible keep two to three pieces of paper portmanteau each in your complete control.

Tackle Portmanteau Tackle portmanteau is a physical device where you keep cryptocurrency safe. There are numerous forms of tackle portmanteau but generally used tackle portmanteau is USB. When you keep your cryptocurrency in tackle portmanteau you just need to keep in that mind that you shouldn't lose your tackle portmanteau as once it's lost you can't recoup your cryptocurrency.

One notorious incident, where a person as booby-trapped 7000 bitcoin and stores in their tackle portmanteau and kept it with another tackle portmanteau. One day he threw the tackle portmanteau in which he stored his cryptocurrency rather of damaged tackle and he lost all his bitcoin.


Dell is one of the largeste-commerce business accepting bitcoin as payment. Expedia and UNICEF are other exemplifications.

In India, Sapna Book Mall was accepting bitcoin as payment using Unocoin trafficker service. People were reserving movie tickets through BookMyShow or recharging their mobile using Unocoin platform. As per the report, they've stopped the service but planning to start again in near future.

Conclusion

Cryptocurrency is one of the growing investment sectors and it has given nice returns than real- estate, gold, stock- requests, etc in the history. You can buy the cryptocurrency and hold for long- term to get nice returns or go for the short- term for the quick profit as we've seen the growth of numerous coins in 1000 in history. Since the cryptocurrency is a unpredictable request and no control of government on the assiduity. One must invest the quantum in any cryptocurrency which they can go to lose.
