The innovation of a blockchain is that it guarantees the fidelity and security of a record of data and generates trust without the need for a trusted third party.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Blockchain In 7 Minutes | What Is Blockchain | Blockchain Explained|How Blockchain Works|Simplilearn\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yubzJw0uiE4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Crypto Wallets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><p>A crypto wallet is <strong>a place where you can securely keep your crypto<\/strong>.

The goal is to make constant profits (even if the profits are very small). You\u2019ll take profits quickly, and you\u2019ll cut losses just as quickly. You might make a trade every few minutes, or you might only scalp a few positions a day. You want favorable setups, not just any trade. Ideally, you\u2019d want to be able to go long and short (and would thus need to margin trade, even at 1x leverage, so you can short). However, you can scalp by spot buying and selling (buying and selling crypto).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Day trading is just what it sounds like, it is like scalping, but instead of making trades over the course of minutes, you typically make them over the course of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A day trader might scalp, trade the range, or even take short-term position trades in a single day. They are day trading because they aren\u2019t holding their position into multiple trading days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Range Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cryptos will constantly define a range they are trading in. Generally, this range will be a type of consolidation (either accumulation, big players getting more coins for the next leg up, or distribution, selling coins at a high before the big players let the market drop).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Intraday Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is day trading, but a style of day trading that allows for holding positions over more than one day. Simple as that. The reality is traders do this and there is no rule that it can\u2019t be successful. In crypto, the market never closes, so there is no end to a trading day (the best we get is daily candle closes). With software, you can automate positions and in this respect, there is not specifically a reason to close a short-term position just because the clock strikes 4 pm or whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Swing Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Swing trading is all about finding support and trading to the next resistance level, or more generally picking an entry and a target and holding the position until your target is hit or other exit conditions are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you will open a position (sometimes gradually) at what you calculate to be the local bottom AKA support, then you will aim to HODL your position all the way to what you believe to be the local top AKA resistance (generally gradually scaling out of your position to lock in profits). Obviously, it is the reverse logic for shorting, you aim to short the top of the forming trend to the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Position Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Position trading is like a zoomed-out version of swing trading or like the trading version of investing. Here you\u2019ll try to build\/take a long position low or short position high and then stick with that position for weeks, months, or even years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Investing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><p>I don\u2019t consider investing and trading to be the same thing. Trading is all about taking a position and aiming to take a profit. Investing is all about having ownership of an asset as a store of value with a very general goal of increasing that value over time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"4 Types of trading - Cryptohopper\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9Dh0QxsQRMo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bull Market vs. Bear Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/b\/bullmarket.asp\">bull market<\/a> is a market that is on the rise and where the conditions of the economy are generally favorable. A bear market exists in an economy that is receding and where most stocks are declining in value. Because the financial markets are greatly influenced by investors&#8217; attitudes, these terms also denote how investors feel about the market and the ensuing economic trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bull market is typified by a sustained increase in prices. In the case of equity markets, a bull market denotes a rise in the prices of companies&#8217; shares. In such times, investors often have faith that the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/u\/uptrend.asp\">uptrend<\/a>&nbsp;will continue over the long term. In this scenario, the country&#8217;s economy is typically strong and employment levels are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>By contrast, a&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/b\/bearmarket.asp\">bear market<\/a> is one that is in decline. A market is usually not considered a true &#8220;bear&#8221; market unless it has fallen 20% or more from recent highs. In a bear market, share prices are continuously dropping. This results in a downward trend that investors believe will continue; this belief, in turn, perpetuates the downward spiral. During a bear market, the economy slows down and unemployment rises as companies begin laying off workers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Bull and Bear Markets (Bullish vs. Bearish) Explained in One Minute: From Definition to Examples\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0wqqEDedZwI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TYPES of Exchanges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto exchanges are the once you purchase, trade and some cases store your crypto coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of exchanges: Centralized and Decentralized<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>It is difficult to know which crypto exchange is suitable for your requirements until you do a little bit of research.
