From Normie to Competent Crypto Trader!

Some questions I get repeatedly include:

1- What do I do to get into crypto and what do I do then?
2- How do I start trading without blowing my investment?
3- Why would you spend time helping people with Crypto?
4- Who really is a cute chick knows so much about trading and why would you share it on Steem?

These are the reasons that I am going to start a daily blog sharing what I have learned (from much smarter people than I) asking for help from you smart people in contributing so we can help others, and investing a bit of my time helping others take easier steps to portfolio profitability.

I will start by answering those questions and setting the stage:

1 - WHAT? - That depends upon what you want to accomplish. Simply investing a couple hundred in the right place at the right time and doing nothing could pay off very well. Maybe simple scalping will help you feel more in control and increase profits. Maybe you have a good amount to invest and the time and drive to take on leveraged day-trading. We can talk about that.

2 - How? - That is going to depend what you are willing to invest (Time and Money wise) but there are some very simple setups and indicators that worked for me and are straightforward to learn and leverage.

3 - Why? - Why is probably the most important question in business as a whole, but in this case, I feel it is our dury as early adopters and cryptopioneers to help others and foster an informed population as they become enthralled like we have. In addition, it doesn't hurt my position at all when friends and strangers alike make phat gainz and, in truth, I learn WAY more from others along the way than I teach so I have a personal stake as well.

4 -Who? - Not much to answer here except thanks for the compliment and I am really more observant than I am smart or wise. With a little luck, I will soak it all in and become wise before my time and we can share and gain as well.

4.5 - Where? - Steemit of course because this community rocks, we support eachother with our content and upvotes, and the thousands of newcomers joining every day will be better for the work we put in.

So, answer these questions as you consider this and help me prepare the best content for the coming days and weeks.

• Would you rather be a HODLer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HODL) and passively make gains on your investment?
• Is it worth it to learn a little about what I and some traders call scalping () so that you canleverage your investment to buy the dips, sell the peaks, and feel a little more control on this crypto-rollercoaster?
• Do you have the mindset and acumen to become a leveraged daytrader and join the 100x club?
• Or is is something in between?

Let us know in the comments below where your mind is at today and where you would like to be.

Homework:

• Find yourself a trading platform with at least a dozen coins besides Bitcoin and has charts with which you can work as we delve into Technical Analysis.
• Check out https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@crypto-ta/how-to-use-technical-analysis-to-profit-from-trading-cryptocurrency for an older post that is a good start and every bit as relevant as it was back then.
