  How To Invest in Crypto as A Complete BEGINNER (2025 GUIDE) The video might be a little bit confusing for complete beginners, but it does cover lots of detail and I think it's worth watching from beginning to the end to help you get a good general overview of crypto investing.

Sure, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. The blockchain was invented for Bitcoin, But bitcoin ISN’T the only cryptocurrency out there. As I write, there are over 8,000 different types of cryptocurrency in existence – some are variants of Bitcoin, while others are completely new, stand-alone cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is, of course, the granddaddy of them all, and it's fair to say that there wouldn't be any cryptocurrencies at all without Bitcoin. However, because Bitcoin is open source, ANYBODY (even YOU) can take the technology and start their own cryptocurrency. At this point I need to make clear that there are two different types of cryptocurrency you can create. One is a coin, the other is a token. There are some pretty big differences between them, so listen up. A coin (like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin etc.) operates on its own blockchain. These cryptocurrencies have been started from scratch and are completely independent of each other. They act as money, and you can buy stuff w...

Bitcoin is fast becoming integrated into the everyday lives of people living in developing countries. With unstable and hyper-inflated national currencies, bitcoins are proving to be a much more viable solution to solving the financial woes of their citizens.

When you send money through banks you not only pay those costly bank fees, you also need to wait...

Trading refers to a short-term method of trying to profit from buying and selling of bitcoins while investing refers to a long-term strategy where a buyer will hold on to their bitcoins for a long time and ride out any dips in the market price. The Bitcoin Trader The Bitcoin trader thrives on the exciting volatility of bitcoins. They’ll try to time the market and buy bitcoins when the price dips and then they’ll wait for the price to go up before they sell their bitcoins. Trading is a high-risk game because you’re betting for the price to go up or down. Not everyone can trade, however.

Traders don’t get scared of dips in the price because they are optimistic it’s going to go up again, sooner or later. They are looking to maximize their profits, too, so they’ll mostly invest a lum...
