Part 1
The first part of the mini crypto was on Trading View, how to register an account on it and hows its tools are been used, features and indicators of the TradingView
source
Tradingview is a trading analysis platform with a collection of tools. It was founded in 2011 and offers a wide variety of features and services that all merchants benefit from. You can get data and information on stocks, currencies, metals, energy, and cryptocurrencies.
In short, the site is a place where beginners like me can discover charts, information, and features for each type of asset. TradingView helps beginners gain market information and teach them how to make successful trading or investment decisions.
Tradingview offers traders a variety of packages that vary depending on the experience and financial stability of the trader. For more information on each package, visit the Tradingview website and look for the free tour at the top of the home page. A new page will appear with all the packages on offer, as well as their prices and functions.

Trading View site is one that can be accessed or logged onto without having an account but will only limit the user to some specific features only.
For you to be able to create an account successfully with Trading View and have access to all features, below are the steps needed.
- Visit Trading View and click on Start Free Trail
Screenshot from TradingView
- A window will appear, with apurchase plan on the cost to sign up and for how long. But from below we can see a link which says "Try free basic", we then click on it.
Screenshot from TradingView
- We can see good variety of options on how to register an account, you choose to select your preferred option but I will like to go with my Mail.
Screenshot from TradingView
- A window displayed asking me to enter my email and password. So we i filled in the required information needed.
Screenshot from TradingView
- After which i was asked to enter my user name and to upload a photo.
Screenshot from TradingView
- After i was done i Click continue and my account was created successfully. I can now have access to all the features.

There are various features on this platform, but I will like to talk about only a few.
Charts.
The Graph function displays a graphical screen that explains the current trends in the markets, the prices of each of the items in the market, and whether it is safe to buy or sell for profit by reading the graph.Second market
The market function is the place where all transactions take place, that is, buying and selling. Every market trend in the world is displayed in function from cryptocurrencies to stocks to bonds and much more, and it not only shows you all of this, but also gives you an assessment to buy if you are interested.Community
This feature in Tradingview offers user communities to meet other users, exchange marketing ideas and also to learn some new things about the buying and selling environment and get advice and also give your opinions on topics.Screener
This function basically helps us to make the best choice with the indicators. It also filters the existing stocks to offer services to our liking. There are several different filters on Tradingview, some of which are Crypto Screeners, Forex Screeners, and Stock Screeners.
Below are how to use some of the tools in TradingView
Cursor
The cursor is one of the tools used when creating a trade chart view. It is at the forefront of all other tools. The main purpose of this tool is to move the diagram back and forth so that you can study the diagram in detail, and it also includes arrows, dots, and an eraser. So with this tool we can use the arrows and dots to set waypoints and notifications as we study the map and clean up these marks with the eraser when they are done.Trendline
This line provides a variety of line options that a user can display on a graph. Traders use this line to analyze market techniques. This line is used to mark the midpoint where a trader can maximize or maintain his investment. Helps traders mark those average points with trend lines for safe
Adding an indicator to a chart helps in reading an asset next movement. Thia helps to know when te market value of an asset rises or falls.
Lets try adding the KDJ indicator. This paricular indicator allows traders to best know the time to exist or enter a market. The indicator consist of three major lines which include the K line, D line and J line.
These particular lines move in a special way that helps traders to know the next trend of assets, which helps reduce the risk of lost of a users assets.
Below are the steps to add the KDJ indicator
- Visit TradingView Chart and click on FX Indicator which can be found at the left top corner of the screen.
Screenshot from TradingView
- Search KDJ Indicator and tap on it
Screenshot from TradingView
- Return to your chart to see if the Indicator has really been added. You have successfully complete the addition of the KDJ indicator.

There are a number of benefits to using the Tradingview platform, including the
Tradingview platform, which allows the trader to know the data and information of any asset, be it crypto, forex, metals or stocks.
With the chart and indicator function, the trader can easily use them to detect the next price movement of any asset.
The Tradingview platform has built-in drawing tools that allow you to draw lines and patterns on any asset chart.
The platform has a watchlist function, here you can easily monitor your favorite assets.
Now i think i will stop here for the first mini crypto Part 1 while I proceed to the second part
Part 2
This second task talks about Psychology and market cycle. In the part 2 of mini crypto, we are going to to about FOMO and FUD and how they occur.
FOMO is an abbreviation of four words which means fear of missing out. FOMO is a term that tells the pressure you might feel if you don't take immediate and fast action on trading decisions.
The main idea behind this particular term is that any delay on a trader will cause him to miss an opportunity.
Take for an example, a coin that you cannot guarantee and has a fast raising in market value, you may get FOMO. The raising of the green line is enough to keep one on alert, and this forms a competition among traders to buy coins, which usually starts to get more and more expensive.
As showed in the picture above, FOMO began to happen when the green line started climbing. The market value of the specific currency in place continues to increase rapidly, which gives a fear of approving a great opportunity to traders who should not partake in putting together more resources in the specific currency.
FUD
FUD is also an abbreviation of Fear, Uncertainly and Doubt. FUD usually happens to most of the market users as you cannot be sure when the market price raises and fall.
This is usually a stage where there is fast falling in market prices. Usually with this, users are not certain as to the appropriate time the the market prices will go up to sell their assets.
This is usually due to impatience; as market prices falls and traders lose their money, as traders are scare of lost, they sell all their assets or some and intend some traders may lose a lot. Below is a diagram to explain FUD.
As showed in the the picture, FUD occurred when the red lights from the market chart starts declining. Whenever this happens, the market value of the specific currency starts to decrease thereby rising suspicious uncertainty of traders on whether to sell or keep their coins because they are scare that market prices might continue fall instead of raising. Which FUD, uses lost a lot of money in this particular cycle.
Part 3
In this exercise we will be talking about blockchain and how it works, the different types of blockchain, benefits and drawbacks of blockchain.
BLOCKCHAIN
Blockchain is a database which stores encoded blocks of data and then link them together to form a chronological sequence of data with one source of truth. Digital assets are distributed, not copied or transferred, creating an unchanging record of the assets.
Assets are decentralized and provide full real-time access and transparency for the public. A transparent catalog of changes preserves the integrity of the documents, thus increasing confidence in assets.
The inherent security measures of blockchain and public ledger make it a key technology for almost every industry.
Blockchain is a promising and revolutionary technology as it helps reduce risk, eliminate fraud, and provide scalable transparency for countless applications.
We might be wondering how Blockchain works, I will explain that below.
A blockchain is formed by three fundamental concepts, that is blocks, nodes and miners.
BLOCKS
With respect to Blocks, all informations are carefully stored in a data format and connected to each other. Each continuous block has the hash value of the previous block. If the next block contains a new information, the hash value automatically will change.
However, the previous block maintains its old hash value. All of these are stored and have strong data validity.
Each chain made up of blocks and each block has three elements:
The block’s data.
A 32-bit integer which is called called nonce. The nonce is produced randomly number when a block is been created, which then produce a block header hash.
The hash is a 256-bit number that is attached to the nonce. It must always start with four number of zeros.
When a block in the chain is formed, the nonce generates a cryptographic hash. The data in the block is considered valid or signed and will always be bound to the nonce and hash unless it is mined
MINER
<div class="pull-left”>Miners always have to create new blocks in the chain through a process called mining.
In a blockchain, each block has its own unique and specific nonce and hash, but it also refers the hash of the previous block in the chain, so this makes it difficult to mine a block.
A change to an earlier block in the chain requires not only the changed block to be saved, but also all subsequent blocks. Because of this, it is extremely difficult to manipulate blockchain technology. Think of this as "working mathematics" because finding golden random numbers requires a lot of time and computing power
When a block is completely and successfully mined, all nodes accepts the new changes, and the miners receive a good amount of financial rewards.
NODE
Another important concept in blockchain technology is decentralization. Chains are not generally owned by any organization, instead, it is a distributed
ledger across nodes linked to the chain.
A node can be any electronic device that controls a copy of blockchain and makes the network work efficiently.
Each node has its own special copy of the blockchain, and the network must use algorithms to verify each newly mined block in order to update and trust the chain. Since blockchain is transparent, it is easy to check and view every operation in the ledger.
Each participant receives a unique identification number showing their every transaction made.
TYPES OF BLOCKCHAIN
From what I learned from the material and guidelines provided by professor @liasteem, blockchain has 4 types which include Public Blockchain, Private Blockchain, Hybrid Blockchain, and Consortium Blockchain.
Public blockchains just like Bitcoin are largely distributed networks that operate through a native token. Anyone can participate in this forum, at any level. You have an open source code maintained by the community.
These are smaller systems and do not use a token. Membership in private blockchains is strictly controlled. Consortia prefer this type of blockchain, where the members are very trustworthy and confidential information can be easily exchanged.
Consortium blockchains are approved blockchains that are managed by a group of organizations rather than a single entity, such as the private blockchain.
Therefore, consortium blockchains has greater decentralization than private blockchains, leading to a higher level of security.
However, consortium building can be a tedious process, requiring collaboration between multiple organizations, posing both logistical challenges and potential antitrust risks.
This is a type of blockchain that is controlled by just a single organization, but with oversight from the public blockchain, which is necessary to perform certain transaction validations.
IBM Food Trust is an example of Hybrid blockchain, which is designed to improve efficiencies throughout the food supply chain.
These are all types of blockchains and they all use cryptography, allowing users of a given network to securely manage the ledger in a decentralized manner.
ADVANTAGES OF BLOCKCHAIN
Blockchain is nothing short of groundbreaking technology for anyone who uses and masters it. Let's analyze the benefits of blockchain.
Auditability: Another aspect of the point mentioned above is verifiability. Since every transaction is logged for its entire lifetime in the blockchain, there is already an audit trail where you can see and verify the authenticity of your asset.
Security: Blockchain beats any other accounting system when it comes to security in every way. General transaction documentation may only be updated and / or changed on the basis of consensus within the blockchain network. Information is edited only when all or most nodes agree to update the record. Moreover, once the transaction is committed, it gets encrypted and linked to the previous transaction. Consequently, no person or party has the option to change the entry.
Efficiency: With traditional paperwork, transaction completion is tedious as it requires third party mediation and is prone to human error. Blockchain can simplify and discipline these outdated methods and eliminate the risk of errors, making trading more efficient and faster. Since there is only one book, pages don't have to hold multiple documents, reducing clutter significantly. And when everyone has access to the same information, trust is easier to gain.
DISADVANTAGE OF BLOCKCHAIN
The following are the basic "counter-reasons" to consider regarding blockchain
Blockchain use excessive power
Blockchain is not a great distributed computing system
Mining does not provide network security
Keeping blockchain records not forever or not immutable
Scalability is still the weakness of the blockchain
The blockchain is not indestructible
Also from Professor @liasteem guidelines, we were asked to visit the link Blockchain Demo to gain so practice knowledge about blockchain technology.
I will be taking you through what I’ve learnt from the site.
To get a better understanding of blockchain, we need to visit Blockchain Demo and from here we can explain how blockchain really works. I will be explaining all i know in details.
When you first visit Blockchain Demo site, this is the first initial display.
Screenshot from Blockchain Demo
Lets now tap on the Hash so I can explore and to know it better.
We can see the Hash first display was empty
Valid Hash must always begin with zeros. This tells us the empty data is not signed or invalid.
Screenshot from Blockchain Demo
I fill into the empty data the word Mukadas,and we can see the Hash we got didn’t start with zeros which was also invalid.
Screenshot from Blockchain Demo
From here, we’re done with every detail needed to know of Hash
Blockchain
Let’s now explore and know how Blockchain also works. Below is the first display of the site.
Screenshot from Blockchain Demo
From the above image, there was no data entered but the nonce has a number and the Hash. The Hash started with zeros and this tells us the data is valid or signed.
We can see from the site there are 5 block and each been interrelated to the other. And also each had on them different nonce.
The prev in each block points backs to the one before it. Have a look at the Prev in the first and second block and tell me what you’ve noticed.
Let’s type the word Mukadas into one of the blocks as shown below
Screenshot from Blockchain Demo
Immediately after typing the word Mukadas, the hash changed and all of a sudden became invalid. This is invalid because the hash started with some alphabets and numbers other that zeros but the blocks and nonce wasn’t affected. They remained as they were. Due to the data entered in the first block everything hash in the other blocks became invalid.
To make the hash valid, all you need to do is tap on Mine. This will automatically make the block valid.
Block
Time to now explore on Block so as to know it’s Hash and how it works. Below is an image of the initial display.
Screenshot from Blockchain Demo
We noticed from above that there was no data entered but the nonce has a number and the Hash starting with zeros should tell us the Block is signed or valid
Screenshot from Blockchain Demo
Again, let’s type in the word Mukadas into the data but we can still see the hash did not start with zeros. So we say the block with the information in it is not a valid or signed block.
To also make the block valid, all we need to do is to tap on mine button.
This is all I can say from what I’ve let from Mini crypto part 1,2 and 3.
I would like to say a big thank @liasteem for giving me this great opportunity to learn about cryptocurrency and also guiding and providing me to part in such wonderful contest.
Dear @mukadas ,
Thank you very much for joining the Rising Star of Mini Crypto Program.
Here is the score that we can provide from the overall summary that you have done
You get value by that amount because you still have to develop your markdownstyle. I'm saying this doesn't mean your markdownstyle is bad, but I want you to improve it even more. We are happy with your development. After using capital letters (##) you can make the space after that so it doesn't cling to the next paragraph, you can also center the information under the image and the image itself to make it look more beautiful.
Your understanding is very good even though you don't follow the Mini Crypto Program completely
Everyone has different creativity and I'm very happy because you do it so goodly
Thank you for joining the Rising Star of Mini Crypto Program and for complying with all existing regulations
Considering that you are not following the Mini Crypto Program completely, you must understand from the beginning, and we really appreciate your good intentions
Your current total score is 9,8
Thank you very much, and I hope I can see your good work at a better level with the assessment of Professors who have a more perfect understanding.
