My introduction and what I'd like to offer to the community! Basic/intermediate/advanced trading!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello everyone, (note - I posted this before but I'm just learning about the tags, so I apologize for the repeat post!)

I'm brand new to steemit, but I've been thinking about using it for quite some time. I am an avid Day/Swing trader of crypto currencies, and I would really like to teach people the basics of trading. I still need to dive into this platform and figure out my strategy, but I just wanted to get a feel for what people want and find out if this is something people are even interested in learning here.

A little background on myself and my successes in crypto - I am currently working on trading full time, while still keeping my day job in the Real Estate industry until I'm comfortable enough to leave it completely. Since December I have successfully been able to multiply my Bitcoin holdings, starting with 0.5 btc and now I have 2.66 btc. While this might not sound like a lot, growing your $5000 investment into a current value of $25,000 within a matter of 4 months, can make a difference. Mind you, this is all while the market entered full on bear mode, and ripped people's hearts out. I had my own painful moments, but I definitely consider myself lucky to come out as positive as I have. Believe it or not, I almost had 4 btc at one point, but... let's just say a woman screwed that trade up for me.

I take pride in my fundamental knowledge of trading traditional markets and applying them to crypto. I am educated in the world of finance, but self taught when it comes to trading crypto. That is my full disclosure, but I really enjoy doing it, and I seem to be really good at it.

I would really like to start a series of blogs that are dedicated to the basics of trading, and eventually start showing people more advanced stuff as the requests come in. I have no intention of ever selling products or those stupid courses that people try to promote on youtube. This is 100% free info I want to offer because I think people need to learn how to take control of their investments. Crypto is the future, and there is money to be made in this space. I want everyone to benefit from it as much as I have, and will in the future. I will always be 100% transparent in my trades, and I want to make this fun. I love answering questions and trying to figure out the best way to explain things to people, because I understand that everyone learns in different ways.

Of course I must put out the disclaimer that all of the info I put out in the future will be for informational purposes only, and should not be taken as financial advice, as I am not a certified professional - But I am pretty darn good at what I do!

Go ahead and let me know in the comments what kind of content you want and where you want me to start. This way I can get an idea of where people are struggling, or what you're curious about! Otherwise I'm going to start with the SUPER basics.

Follow me on twitter @AltCoinSuprdude - no "e" in super.

Thanks everyone!!

Hello shanecroughan! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
