Keep reading then. You may find something here that might benefit your journey.

 

Additionally, this also contains info for tracking cryptocurrency and my recommended trading strategies.

 

Let’s first start off with some disclaimers and risk management. Please read it before continuing.

Risk Management:

Trading cryptocurrency can be quite risky since it is a 24/7 market and almost anyone can trade it. Managing your risk properly is going to help you secure profits and take advantage of that volatility. I suggest that you avoid putting everything into one trade. You should take profits as the price moves in your favor and use a stop loss.

1. Free platforms and Faucets

2. Buying cryptocurrency

3. Airdrops

1 C. Airdrops

 

You may also participate in airdrops. Airdrops may just be for free, as in you do not need to have anything or pay any money. Some airdrops may require that you have a coin. That type of airdrop may be the result of hardfork. Some airdrops may not pay out or may even be a scam. It is almost never okay to send your hard earned cryptocurrency to someone else with the hopes of getting something back in return. I try to participate in legitimate airdrops, but it is difficult.

 

NEVER send any crypto to any airdrop for any reason. You are seeking to receive crypto, not send your own crypto to someone else.

 

Coinmarketcap Airdrops are mostly legitimate. Register and collect diamonds daily that you can use to buy NFT's.

Airdrop Alert has many new airdrops daily.

You can easily find airdrops anywhere. I will repost the airdrop if I participate in them. Here is my twitter

 

It is not a guarantee that all of the airdrops I do are legitimate. It only means I took the time to participate in them. This is worth it. Some airdrops have been easily valued (upon the airdrop) at $100+

 

1D. Wallets

 

Be sure to never share or enter your seed phrase or wallet password on any external site. There is never a reason to do that.

Below is a list of the major wallets you will need to store your cryptocurrency. You may also use offline wallets as well.

Wallets can usually be used for sending, receiving, staking, or swapping cryptocurrency.

Multi-Chain

Token Pocket supports multiple chains. You can create multiple wallets on the same chain.

ERC20 and multi-chain

Trust Wallet

I recommend Trust Wallet as your ERC20 wallet (on the Ethereum blockchain)

• ERC-20 Wallet (Ethereum based)
• Has many tokens - new tokens need to be manually added.
• Has the ability to exchange token pairs
• Contains a DApps section for staking, swapping, exchanges, games, and more.

 

Coinbase

Great for the most popular coins.

 

Waves

 

You can use this waves wallet if you need a place to store tokens on the waves blockchain.

You can use the Wombat wallet for your EOS and related tokens.

You may play games on Wombat to earn small amounts of crypto that payout regularly.

Use code UGP6GT for a bonus.

 

TRC20

 

Can also use token pocket

 

1E. Exchanges

Several exchanges have ways to earn free crypto as well such as daily login, airdrops, staking, lending, or trading competitions

You do not want to impulsively trade and should trade based on some knowledge of the markets. I get that some people may have absolutely no idea what they are doing which is why you can look below about the sections on how to trade.

It would be better to use an exchange to trade your crypto, although you may also use swaps which are provided by many wallets and platforms. Most exchanges are simple to use and operate in the same way. Check below for a list of exchanges.

You may also trade crypto on these platforms that are primarily used to trade stocks.

Webull

Register and free stocks that can be sold and traded for cryptocurrency or other stocks. Deposit $100 to receive the free stocks.

 

2. Don't know how to trade cryptocurrency?

 

Most the exchanges above are user friendly, equipped with tutorials, and offer support for their users. I may post a tutorial on how to open and close a trade in the future if I get enough questions about it.

 

3. Don't know when to trade cryptocurrency?

 

3A. Technical Analysis

Take a moment to study some technical analysis to help put you ahead of the herd. I have won significantly more trades by using technical analysis and making use of trading view.

 

You can register on Trading View where you can see the analyses of others, and perhaps even learn to make your own. The benefits of upgrading to premium include many tools for helping analyze charts as well as alerts and many more features.

 

3B Swing trade

Swing trading cryptocurrency is quite simple. You can use spot trading or margin trading. There are two methods that I recommend you use to win swing trades. The first is to avoid trading very low tier coins with low volume and low market cap unless you have some intuitive ability or special advice that tells you when a coin is going to make a massive advance. Trading the first few hundred of the top market cap coins are probably going to give you the best results. Enter your position when a coin has low price fluctuations or after it has consolidated from already going up. I recommend you avoid buying when a coin has gone up 100% unless you intend to hold for another few months, because otherwise you may lose half of your position.

You can use technical analysis to check the general movement of a coin and then enter on a shadow candle (the tip of the candle is thin, example below. Be sure to take profits along the way just in case your analysis changes.

 

Shadow candle: The tip of the second candle is red and has a small thin line followed by a tall green candle. This will not always work, but it has been useful to me.

 

Here is how a swing trade goes:

Buy low, sell high.

Sell some parts of position at price targets. It could be 25% position at +50% profit, another 25% position at +100% profit, and so on. How much you sell at what profit depends on you, and the price targets depend on the analysis.

A swing trade example is provided below in 3F.

 

3C Leveraged Trading

Cryptocurrency can be traded with leverage similar to forex. It requires a margin to avoid liquidation and proper risk management. You can benefit from this type of trade if you are a more experienced trader.

Perpetual  - Trading with the coin to a stable coin to increase the portfolio size of that coin and has no fixed expiration date

Example: holding btc and trading it to the tether

Inverse Perpetual – Trading with a stable coin to any other crypto to increase your portfolio for that stable and has no fixed expiration date

Example: holding Ethereum and trading it to the tether to increase your Ethereum balance

I recommend using less than or equal to 20x leverage on any given trade. The general consensus that I have seen is to risk 2% of the position that you enter with. Risking more is your decision to make. Make sure to keep an eye on your margin when entering the trade. There is absolutely no situation that you can benefit from by opening a position with 100% of your margin for a leveraged trade. That will result in liquidating 100% of your assets immediately if not within a few seconds.

 

3D Staking

Staking is an extremely easy way to earn from just holding your cryptocurrency. The risks are that the cryptocurrency you chose to hold plummets to a value close to 0 cents. It is better to choose coins with better prospects. I recommend flexible or short term staking so that you have the option to close your position as you see necessary. You may avoid this risk by staking stable coins. Several exchanges and wallets above offer staking.

 

3E Coin Tracking Tools

Helpful tools to track cryptocurrency prices:

 

Coinmarketcap

Do tasks to earn diamonds for rewards daily.

 

Coingecko

Also take advantage of Coingecko’s daily point login to get discounts on cryptocurrency related tools or use your points to buy NFTs. I can confirm that this is legitimate since I have already traded my points for NFT's.

 

Livecoinwatch

Great for tracking lower tier coins that may have not made it to Coinmarketcap or Coingecko

 

Market Move

Use this tool if you trade on the BSC network. Audit the coin using their AI software and check for suspicious code or anything you disagree with.

 

 

3F VIP signals

 

 

You may find it beneficial to enlist the services of a signal provider that will tell you when you should enter and exit a trade. You will still have control over your own cryptocurrency unless they offer to trade for you in which case you would have to provide them with your exchange API.

 

I evaluated one signal provider myself and have reported the results below. I looked at a few calls from Paradise Slave and have found all of them to be of great quality.

 

My Crypto Paradise (Use my exclusive code “Wasure” for a 5% discount).

 

I made the assumption that My Crypto Paradise knew how to trade well based on their opening words which you can find below:

 

Swing trades are one of the easiest ways to increase your crypto portfolio. The examples below are how you may profit from swing trades.

 

This update was posted on January 22, 2021. The profit and price range on the day of the update was 17% at a price range of 766-825 satoshi (the last 3 decimal values out of 8 compared to the BTC)

 

Now looking 3 weeks into the future on February 12, the price range is about 1166-1500 sats.

 

It certainly depends if you chose to trade with margin or contracts, but if you just chose to the most basic method which is spot trading, then this was a fairly easy 2x position trade for any amount of your position that you sold at the top. You can also see that the price retraced before making another high which opened up another swing trade opportunity. Any swing trade that returns 2x or more of your position is a really good swing trade in my opinion.

 

Looking at something more familiar next, the Ethereum swing trade

 

The price range on January 16, 2021 is about $1,150-1,300

Fast forward a few weeks to February 20, 2021 which is where the second price target is at and we see the price range on this day is about $1,800-$,2040. This means that you made about 50% profit if you bought mid range in January and locked in your price targets. We still have a couple more price targets ahead of us as well.
