Things you need to know about Cryptocurrencies
The bitcoin has taken over the world of internet and has became one of the most searched topics on google in a very short span of time ,all because of its high value as compared to other currencies.By the time I am writing this post the 1 bitcoin is equivalent to 13543.39 USD, this alone tells us how powerful cryptocurrencies are.
As cryptocurrencies are becoming a global phenomenon more and more people are trying to buy them, increasing their demand and hence the market is now flooded with several crypto currencies.
But still crypto currencies were the most misunderstood topic throught the last year.People are still confused about it as china has banned bitcoin exchanges (and other countries
may do it too) and countries like russia trying to make there own cryptoRuble.
With so much happening everyone irrespective of whether he will invest in the cryptocurrencies or not must know about them.Here are some things you need to know about cryptocurrencies.
1).Their origin
The first cryptocurrency was created in 2009.
Bitcoin, was the first cryptocurrencyand since then, many other have been created often known as altcoins,(bitcoin alternative). and all of them use decenterlized system as compare to the centralised system that is used by our well known currencies.
2).Who decides there value
3).Should I buy some/Invest in cryptos
Lets get it straight, it is very risky currently. The question in the heading is most asked
and answered question in the world right now(ah...maybe not). You see Price of Bitcoin can fall up to 30% in a day and that is very normal. So its more like gamble, but in long term you will win something. Let's break it down..
Do not under estimate or overestimate it.
People either over estimate or under estimate the cyptos, some look at form the perspective that once it costed $1/BTC and some look at it as nothing but some new overhyped technology that they don't understand properly.But in reality, its just another type of investment, like when you invest in share market.Its not something which make millions from few dollars(atleast not so fast), but may double your money.
Invest only that much which you can loose, don't put your life savings
Time is everything
As market is open 24*7 and things changes very fast, Even second of delay can cause a huge loss.
Buy when the prices are down and sell during the high time
this will save you from losing money.The intermediate time is very important to identify here as knowing where the graph is going is very important.
4).Why and How to stay updated with them
As I said the time is very important in cryptocurrency market, so its really very important to stay updated. Now without wasting your time here the links to the some of the best source that i found very useful.
The Father Of All - Google
Google is the best way to find the news about any topic, and for most of the things like knowing the current price or
just searching for latest news google will work fine
Twitter
Search for Bitcoin-related hashtags on Twitter like #bitcoin, #cryptocurrency, and, for example, #BTC or use Twitter’s search functionality.
On Android you can follow the coindesk app. I haven't personally used it but many people recommend but in general above sources must work fine.
Final Note
Whether or not you like it, understand it, cryptocurrencies are like internet in 1990s,
It may change a lot after 10 years from now but it will affect our lives to some extent, knowing then properly will help us prepare ourselves for near future.
