Even though we’re now several years into cryptocurrency becoming somewhat mainstream, although the hype has worn off, the digital, decentralized monetary format is still very much a big earner for people around the world, more commonly known as cryptocurrency traders. As a cryptocurrency trader yourself, you’ve probably witnessed the highs and lows of the market yourself, or even if you’re just getting started, you’ll look for the best way to make a start. With this in mind, today we’re going to help you get going. Below, we’re going to explore eight essential need-to-know tips to help you make the most in your cryptocurrency trading career, ensuring you have the best and most profitable experience. #1 – It’s Just Getting Started Although lots of people have heard of Bitcoin or might have seen it on the news, it’s not fully integrated into society just yet, and there’s only a real minority of people out there who actually use cryptocurrencies daily. That means there’s so much roo

In the volatile world of cryptocurrency, everything stands or falls with Bitcoin. While altcoins may show some independent momentum now and then, it won’t fool experienced traders in the slightest. As of right now, the Bitcoin price is moving up ever so slightly, as the $5,500 level has come into play again. Can the Bitcoin Price Sustain the Growth? To date, it has been a rather interesting year for Bitcoin in many different ways. After overcoming a major price retrace, it would appear the world’s leading cryptocurrency is moving in the right direction again. Although the $5,600 level might not necessarily be retaken this week, it seems unlikely a drop below $5,000 will materialize, which is what most people are interested in. Over the past 24 hours, the Bitcoin price has gained 2.08%, which is more than respectable. This gain allowed the BTC value to briefly surpass $5,500 again, although it seems likely that will remain a level of contention for some time to come.  It is a

22 percent of institutional investors already have exposure to digital assets. This is according to a new report by Fidelity Investments, one of the largest asset managers in the world. The report goes against many crypto skeptics who have been quick to state that institutions are no longer interested in digital assets. The survey polled 441 institutional investors between November last year and February this year. Interestingly, this was a time in which cryptos hit their lowest levels. Nevertheless, institutional investors remained unfazed, with interest in digital assets never really dwindling. Tom Jessop, the president of Fidelity’s digital assets division explained, “We never saw a decline in interest or sentiment during the crypto winter.” The survey revealed that 47 percent of institutional investors view digital assets as “having a place in their portfolios.” The investors, who include crypto funds, also disclosed their preferred investment methodology. 72 percent prefer to

It is rather evident a lot of cryptocurrency enthusiasts keep a close eye on what is happening to the Binance Coin price. Since this is one of the best-performing tokens on the market today, it is only normal so many people will try to make good money with BNB . Even today, the uptrend still appears to be in effect, although one has to wonder if the value can hit $23 or higher before the sentiment reverses course. Binance Coin Price Keeps Going Although bullish momentum is not uncommon in the cryptocurrency industry, it doesn’t happen all that often one specific market remains subject to this momentum for months on end. In the case of Binance Coin , there has not been a lack of bullish momentum for quite some time now, despite a few dips and bruises along the way. For traders and speculators, this is a gift that keeps on giving in many different ways. To put this in perspective, the Binance Coin price has risen by another 4.82% to elevate its value to $22.81. There is also a

When it comes to different altcoins on the market today, traders often keen an eye on Dogecoin. While this is still considered to be the joke currency of the internet, the market cap of DOGE tends to remain fairly stable. Now that the Dogecoin price is on the rise again, it is certainly possible all of the other markets will head in the same direction moving forward. Dogecoin Price Offers Signs of Hope Although the past few days have not been overly negative for any of the cryptocurrency markets, it is always good to see some positive momentum brewing behind the scenes. When even Dogecoin can inch ahead, it is only a matter of time until the other markets attempt to follow the same. As long as Bitcoin remains in the green, there is no reason to expect a market reversal. Over the past 24 hours, the Dogecoin price has risen by 3.15%, Because of this somewhat unexpected gain, the value per DOGE has now reached $0.002568 once again. At the same time, the DOGE/BTC ratio has improved

In the cryptocurrency world, there is never a shortage of new and interesting projects. Some of these ventures will be more successful than others, although most of the offerings will find their niche market sooner or later. Lightning Hosted is perhaps one of the more interesting projects as of late, although it might not necessarily appeal to everyone. The Purpose of Lightning Hosted On the surface, the exact purpose of Lightning Hosted might not make too much sense just yet. However, this image hosting service which uses Bitcoin’s Lightning Network could certainly prove to be useful in the long run. The main purpose is to effectively create a way to share advertising revenue with users accordingly. The Lightning Network is quite versatile in its own right, although this is not necessarily the kind of service people would expect to see at this stage. How Does it Work? There are a few interesting aspects to Lightning Hosted. First of all, users can upload images, yet they will h

Most people like to compare Bitcoin’s market cap to other financial markets. Company valuations, the price of gold, everything is compared to Bitcoin sooner or later. The following media franchises all have a total revenue which is lower compared to Bitcoin’s market cap. Do keep in mind this is not intended to be derogatory toward these franchises. This article was written when Bitcoin had a market cap of $95.5 billion. Star Wars – Estimated at $65 billion Most people alive on the planet today are familiar with Star Wars. The movie franchise spawned many books, a few TV shows, video games, and tons of merchandise. All factors combined attribute to the estimated $65bn in total revenue generated by this media franchise. Interestingly enough, the merchandise sales vastly outperform the box office, home video, video games, book sales, and TV revenue combined.  Considering how Star Wars is still an ongoing franchise, its total revenue will undoubtedly continue to climb, but it is likel

In the world of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and assets, there will always be some new trends worth keeping an eye on. As of right now, the focus has seemingly shifted to Initial Exchange Offerings, or IEOs. It is an interesting business model, although interested participants have to take a few precautions prior to becoming eligible for these offerings. Register and Verify Your Exchange Account As normal as it may seem, some people assume an Initial Exchange Offering will not necessarily require an exchange account to be properly verified. That is often far from the case, although there may be some exceptions along the way. Anyone who is interested in IEOs should ensure their exchange account is verified as quickly as possible, simply to avoid not being eligible for participation. Most of these exchanges also require verification to unlock higher trading volumes, after all. Not all offerings are Legitimate Even though the Initial Exchange Offering business model is designed to wee

Advancements in the scientific and robots industry can lead to many new breakthroughs. The University of Maryland is making a fair bit of headlines in this regard. More specifically, one of its engineers is in favor of equipping all ambulances with medical robots to haul trauma patients. These robots will gain additional knowledge through machine learning. Robots Will Save Human Lives, Eventually A lot of people are still confused when it comes to potentially having robots interact with them in a medical sense. That doesn’t necessarily mean those people are not confident this technology can succeed in the long run, yet most are not keen on being guinea pigs in this regard. For trauma patients, introducing robots in ambulances can make a world of difference. In fact, it can potentially help save more lives in the future, especially as these robots become smarter over time. To put this in perspective, there is a certain risk factor associated with the ride to the hospital as a trau

The cryptocurrency community remains subject to a lot of potential scams in this day and age. Although that is nothing new, it would appear some of these attacks are a lot more successful than others. One recently discovered “Electrum botnet ” has successfully stolen $4.6m worth of Bitcoin from victims in recent months. It is expected over 150,000 users have been infected by this malware already. Beware of the Electrum Botnet When it comes to dealing with cryptocurrencies and their associated wallets, nearly all projects have a version of Electrum available to its users. In the case of Bitcoin, it would appear the Electrum wallet has been very popular for some time now, which also makes it a prone target for criminals and individuals with nefarious intentions. It would appear a dedicated botnet is now targeting these users, and is doing so in a rather successful manner as well. Most of these attacks have been apparent since December of 2018. A bit of odd timing, considering ho
