9 things you should know about Cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency fluctuate and risky, but understand the market around them will help you identify a successful project. Find out how market crypto work can be a great advantage.

Read The Whitepaper

The business has annual reports, politicians have a tax refund (most of the time), and the cryptocurrency have a whitepaper. Any cryptocurrency or token will have released a whitepaper; It's almost ceremonial. Popularized by the original whitepaper Satoshi Nakamoto, the concept caught on because this is an easy way to get a bit technical and show the actual benefits of the platform. Whitepaper Bitcoin is simple. elegant, only 9 pages. What makes people enamored about it is, in some pages that can be understood by almost everybody, Satoshi create and outline the technologies that will change the world.

Not all the cryptocurrency that you find will have the whitepaper as Satoshi's. Some remained true to real, such as whitapaper the same RaiBlocks page 8. Some simplified for the consumer, while some just plain copied from other cryptos. White book can tell you a lot about the road map project and how innovative technology of the product. If there is a whitepaper around bushes and does not contain much detail about the technology itself, it can be said that they are avoiding something, so we recommend that you alert.

Here are a few to get started: whitepaper

SALT
Simple Token
NEO

Understand The Market Capitalization

Market capitalisation of the coin is the price of cryptocurrency multiplied by the supply in circulation. Inventory supply is the amount of time in the hands of people at the time. Total supply is the total supply of possibilities that can exist. Bitcoin for example, has a maximum of 21 million total supplies or BTC, although the supply of circulating current is approximately 17 million of BTC. Maximum supply will only be achieved in the 22nd century. These variables are different for the different coins.

· Ripple has the outstanding inventory of 38 billion tokens, with total supply slightly below 100 billion (because the Ripple's token burn). However, many tokens the Ripple lie with founders and related institutions, so supplies are available on the market to consider.
·
· Kin, a project by Kik messaging applications, have outstanding inventory of 756 billion, with total supply of 1 trillion coins. This means that any price Kin is in the order of USD $0.0007.

When considering currency crypto, not price coins are important, but market capitalization. A coin like a Ripple might look cheaper than Bitcoin, but because there are so many tokens the Ripple in the market than the Bitcoin (38 billion vs. 17 million), their market cap is in the same order of magnitude (hundreds of billion).

Market capitalization a coin similar to a company's public float when measuring the value of its stock, because it is based on the outstanding inventory and not the total inventory.

Looking For A Way Of Storing Your Cryptocurrency Before You Buy
If you do not do trades daily, we recommend that you take the cryptocurrency obtained with difficulty from an exchange such as Coinbase or Binance and save with yourself in the wallet. In Exchange, you do not actually have cryptocurrency you. If the entire operation off, you could lose all Your coins. Most people set the desktop or hard disk and store wallet coin them safely and securely. In the year 2014, when Mt. Gox closed, thousands of people lost millions of dollars of Bitcoin and nothing can be done by anyone. Bitcoin on Mt. Gox lost.

The thing is, every cryptocurrency is unique and will have different processes for transferring funds. A Bitcoin wallet and purse Ethereum address will have different fundamentals and will require you to use them differently.

Cryptocurrency and how to store it:

· Bitcoin: Electrum, Mycelium, or Bitcoin Core.
· Ethereum: MyEtherWallet
· You can use a hardware purse Ledger Nano S or client Jaxx.io for cryptocurrency most popular.

Always Look At The Transaction Costs

Most of the currency transaction costs have crypto, as well as the cost of Exchange if you are trading on an Exchange. Transaction costs are usually paid to the miners or the holder of the book from the network while the cost of Exchange is a piece of (typically 0.1% to 0.2%) which was swapped for each trade you make. Some cryptocurrency do not have transaction fees. Cryptocurrency popular without a transaction fee is RaiBlocks, NEO (for now), IOTA, and Byteball.

Check out the latest deals on cost:

Bitcoin: bitcoinfees.earn.com or Johoe's Bitcoin Mempool Statistics
Ethereum: ethgasstation.info

If you enter a low cost, your transactions may not be processed in the blockchain for a few hours or even days. You also may not pay dearly for no reason. So before you send any transaction, you should check the latest transaction fee is suggested. This doesn't just apply to Ethereum, Bitcoin or but for every cryptocurrency that require a fee.

Trying To Be Familiar With The Terminology Of The Crypto

Shilling: Action advertise something secretly to your own interests. For example, go to a public forum like the subreddit/r/cryptocurrency and add the proverbial "X Coin is next month! People who do not buy it at a price of $0.1 clearly is a fool. "That's just nonsense.

Mooning/go to the Moon: when a coin is hopped in the price, it's "drift" aka went to the moon. This refers to the increased drastically in price charts.

Bag holders: the people who come are not going well. They bought the "bag" coin them but now want to sell, unless they can not, because no one wants to buy bagmereka.

Shitcoins: back in the day, every cryptocurrency its not a Bitcoin, is altcoin. Through the success of the Bitcoin and rally for 9 years, this altcoin who never did anything and has no reason to exist, known as "shitcoins". It is an insult that people use for coins that are fraudulent or not meet their criteria.

HODL Bitcoin: a really old but popular misspellings HOLD. This refers to hold Your cryptocurrency and not be afraid by the ebb and flow of market prices in the crash.

Be wary of ' Pump and Dumps ' and market manipulation

Cryptocurrency is a market that is unregulated, so a lot of strange things can happen that will be illegal in the exercise of the stock exchange. One of them is the pump and dumps, where a group of people coordinate and the masses bought cryptocurrency at a certain time, Jack up the price. Investors who are not aware of the sharp spike in viewing it, thinking that it was hot, and the coins purchased as well, raise prices even more. This is pompanya. The group later sold on the value of coordinated efforts are increasing, which leads to an accident – dump.

You don't want to get caught in the pump and dump. The practice is so rampant in small market capitalisation of coins that you can assume a sharp spike in whatever happens for no reason (no new information is released) is the Pnds. For this reason, you should always invest in the form of coins based on the fundamental and long-term feasibility, and not the minutiae of daily trading price.

Always use 2FA

Most of the exchanges and the wallet cryptocurrency support 2FA, Two Factor Authentication. This adds an extra layer of security, so you not only need a password or private key, but also a piece of information that only you have. This code into code while available on Your mobile phone or email, depending on the services. Always use 2FA whenever the option is available. Yes, it takes some extra time, but it is worth it in the long run because the stop brute force attacks and hackers steal cryptos are hard earned.

You can use Google 2FA, Google Authenticator on the stock such as indodax and Binance.

Understand Your State Tax Law

Different countries have different tax situation when dealing with cryptocurrency.

· United States, under the new law, treats all trade cryptocurrency as a taxable event, and cryptocurrency itself be treated as property. This means you pay capital gains when cashing to USD, and tax on each trade that you create between two currencies crypto.
· South Korea's Central Bank classifies cryptocurrency as a commodity in October 2017.
· Japan, on the other hand, recognizes some of the exchanges and the Bitcoin Bitcoin officially recognized as method of payment. Cryptocurrency (Special Bitcoin) in Japan can be used to buy a car, or a coffee, and many local companies accept Bitcoin as payment along with the Yen.
· India, unlike Japan, does not recognize cryptocurrency as legal currency. The income tax Department of India has not issued official guidelines on whether to withdraw the tax of cryptos as capital gains, or whether to treat it as business income. This difference will give you clear instructions regarding whether Bitcoin is treated as property, commodity, or currency. So far, the only official instructions in India is that cryptocurrency is not set, taxable, and not legal tender.
· It is important to consult with a financial advisor or legal in your country to sort out the tax. Limited information above may be immediately wrong and outdated. Because cryptocurrency is a new and fast growing field, and many Governments are struggling to act together, there is a risk of regulations that you must consider. Nobody can help you except your own financial advisor.

follow Cryptocurrency You in Social Media

If you buy a cryptocurrency, it is important to be part of the community. By updating yourself will give you a feeling for the growth of the project that you have invested. This is actually an important part of examining a coin.

· Take a look at the development team, and update their Twitter and LinkedIn.
· Join the group a Telegram, Slack, and group Subreddits.
· Interact with the community, ask questions and understand what others think about it. No one can answer your questions better than the devs.

This will help you to measure not only the legitimacy of the project but also the dedication of the dev and the community around them. I personally find that the projects with the most active community runs very well.
