1. Pick a Reputable Exchange

  • Before owning any cryptocurrency, it’s important to research the reputable brands in the market which provide exchange services.
  • As a beginner, it’s important to focus on buying your cryptocurrency from a trusted and reliable source. Instead of focusing on “getting the best deal”, go with the exchange with the best reputation.
  • Once you have sent a cryptocurrency payment, there are no charge backs, no banks you can call, and absolutely no way to become reimbursed.

5. Keep assets in cold storage

5. Keep assets in cold storage

You never know when the sky might fall. The cryptocurrency space has a history of surprises when it comes to hacks. Funds can be lost in a hack at any moment, so it’s always encouraged to keep your assets off the exchange as much as possible. 

Being the guardian of your own bank is great, but it means you must find services which can accommodate keeping funds off the exchange:

  • One option for a convenient mobile hardware wallet is the Ledger Nano X. It’s simple, it works, and you can rest easy because your funds are secure.

6. Be patient

Although the market is volatile, that doesn’t mean the value of your portfolio will skyrocket over night:

  • Once you’ve implemented your strategy, let the strategy work.
  • Explore the intricacies of your strategy, engage with the strategy for some time. It doesn’t happen over night.
  • Enjoy the process of learning. Build up your expertise with weeks of careful research until you’ve mastered your strategy.
