Cryptocurrency Investing for Dummies

authority is in charge. Instead, the power is distributed among the members of any given blockchain or crypto community. About this book. You may have heard of some of the famous cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but the industry doesn't end there, far from it. And although the crypto market has a ton of volatility, it also has potential for you to make real money by investing wisely and developing strategies that suit your personal risk tolerance. In this book, I tap into the risks involved in cryptocurrency investing and show you the different methods you can use to get involved. The topic of cryptocurrencies and their underlying blockchain technology can be a bit confusing. That's why I try my best to keep cryptocurrency investing for dummies easily accessible and relatable and free of intimidating terminology. But it does contain some serious information about strategy development, risk management, and the whole industry in general. This book contains a lot of web addresses to get you additional information about certain topics. Some of the web addresses are affiliate links, meaning that if you click them and start using a company's services through that specific web address, I may earn an affiliate payment for making the introduction. You also may note that some web addresses break across two lines of text. If you're reading this book in print and want to visit one of these web pages, simply key in the web address exactly as it's noted in the text, pretending as though the line break doesn't exist. If you're reading this work as an e-book, you've got it easy. Just click the web address to be taken directly to the web page. Foolish Assumptions I've made some assumptions about you and your basic knowledge of investing and the cryptocurrency market. You may have heard of, or even own some cryptocurrencies, but you don't really know how they work. Though you may have invested in other markets like the stock market before, you aren't necessarily familiar with the terminology and the technical aspects of trading and investing cryptocurrencies. You know how to operate a computer and use the Internet. If you don't have high-speed access to the Internet now, be sure you have it before trying to get involved in the cryptocurrency market. You need high-speed access to be able to work with many of the valuable online tools I recommend in this book. Icons Used in This Book More dummies' books use little pictures, called icons, to mark certain chunks of text. You will hear them verbalized in this audio edition. Here's what they actually mean. Remember, if something is particularly important for you to take away from this book, I mark it with this icon. Tip! Watch for these little flags to get ideas on how to improve your crypto investing skills or where to find other useful resources. Warning! The cryptocurrency market and investing in general have many risks. Some mistakes can cost you a ton of money. So I use this icon to point out particularly dangerous areas. Technical Stuff! This icon designates some interesting facts and sometimes funny anecdotes that I feel you may enjoy reading but that aren't essential to your crypto investing journey.
