How to Trade Cryptocurrencies (2020 Beginners Guide)

Trading cryptocurrency means to buy and swap flat money or cryptocurrencies for other cryptocurrencies, like how you would do with stocks.

Investing in cryptocurrency has become a big trend over the past few years, and most cryptos recovering from the 2019 slump. 

There is a lot of talk about how much you can make with cryptocurrency investments. Still, some people do find it challenging to understand how exactly you trade or invest in it. So here is a step-by-step guide on how to trade Cryptocurrencies:

Step 1. Get yourself a wallet

A digital wallet is just what you think it is, except it's virtual. It is where you will keep all of the cryptocurrency that you buy. You may also store more than one type of cryptocurrency in there. A bank account can also be linked to your wallet, which makes money transfers much easier.

Step 2. Decide which cryptocurrencies you want to buy

There are so many cryptocurrencies out there that you could choose such as Ethereum currency, Ethereum Classic (ETC), or even BTC coin. There are safer options as well if you wanted a coin free of wild up and downswings, and those are called stable coins. Some popular stable coins include The Peoples Reserve (TPR) and Tether.  TPR digital currency is a new anchored coin coded to the last highest price of gold.  

Step 3. Finding the right site or "exchange" to buy and sell cryptocurrency.

There are a lot of sites (exchanges) out there that claim to be the best or most reliable. While there is some truth to their claim, we would recommend Coinbase for anyone just starting. Coinbase has an easy-to-use interface and even has a built-in wallet for those who like to keep their coins close to their exchange site.

Step 4. Keep up to date with all cryptocurrency news.

Knowledge is power when it comes to cryptocurrency trading, and being able to see what is happening in the industry will give you an edge when it comes to buying and selling. Pay extra attention to any GPU (graphics card) news, as that is the primary tool for crypto miners.

Step 5 Always keep track of cryptocurrencies price.

All cryptocurrencies have periods where they are stagnant and don't change which can be comforting, but that all can change at the drop of a hat. Hence, it's essential to track your cryptocurrency daily. Cryptocurrency is an investment, so monitoring its price and comparing it to others will help you determine when is the best time to buy and sell.

Cryptocurrency is like any other investment and comes with the same risks, so always be aware of these before going all-in with it.
