These are the first steps i take and took to get into cryptocurrencies
I started with reading the Bitcoin paper (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf) and my fascination for Blockchain technology begun. Then I read a couple of other papers, first Ethereum then Litecoin and so on. Every week there should be time for one paper.
I'm heading into all kinds of forums, ask questions and answer question. I follow the trends and from my knowledge about shares i know how to interpret share trends. Now it is about to combine those knowledges and try to find a system in the market fluctuations of cryptocurrencies. The good thing is, that the fluctuations are so high that you can make a good profit by just changing between currencies and getting those upraises. Trying different exchanges is the next step. There are many exchanges like Coinbase, Bitfinex, Poliniex and so on.
I will try a couple of exchanges and then make a little review about that.
Enjoy !
