As ForkLog readers know, our website has a "card", where we detail and just trying to explain the nature of certain concepts and phenomena related to the world cryptocurrency. However, even this tool, as practice shows, is not comprehensive enough, for example, in order to start trading on the stock exchange cryptocurrency.
That is why ForkLog decided to publish the story in the first person about how to buy Bitcoin, bring it to the stock exchange and begin trading cryptocurrency. This material has been written by a woman, it is doubly interesting because the readership of the magazine audience is 92% male.
Before reading this material, we recommend you familiarize yourself with the card "How to Choose kriptovalyutnuyu exchange" .
The word "Bitcoin" and "blokcheyn" I constantly come across in various articles, but first I seemed to be very expensive and confusing asset and an explanation of the second "Wikipedia" could not cope. The desire to understand has come together with a common wave cryptocurrency popularity. Then on the sites "not-for-geeks' were published articles with real experience trading cryptocurrency and vague prospects blokcheyna become transferred into the real world. More faith and desire to make the rapid growth of Bitcoin and Ethereum. I remember the day when the ETH first time touched the mark of $ 200. And it would not be so significant if the week before, I had not celebrated to the calendar event "Ethereum broke $ 100."
Trading on the foreign exchange market classic, I was fascinated for a long time. Initially I was just interesting to compare the arrangements, although the history of superprofits, too, did the trick. In this article I will talk about how to enter the market cryptocurrency. How to make money on it, I will not tell, because everything that I could make, I think just a happy coincidence: it is difficult not to make money, when the curve amount of the asset is going up. The most important thing to tell the time - "Enough!".
Step 1. LocalBitcoins.com
What I need:
His first Bitcoins I bought online localbitcoins.net . Here you can buy or sell Bitcoins way you want - whether online or offline. Site immediately determine where you are, and offers suitable options. Since in the experiment we have checkered bags with money, just refer to "Buy Bitcoins online."
What you should pay attention to:
Selecting the seller took me about 5 minutes.
Until about five minutes we spent on the correspondence. I requested Sberbank card number to which you want to transfer money. The response message sent to me the number, initials and please do not write any comments in the translation. I transferred the money in a few minutes to get the message that I sent Bitcoins. And we wished good luck.
I click the Refresh button to see in the right corner of the site instead of the word "Wallet" in the amount of Bitcoins. That's so easy, I became the owner of cryptocurrency, which seemed to me once something incomprehensible, and only for a circle of the elect.
Just I want to warn you that I do not know how I described the operation is legal [absolutely legal - approx. ForkLog] . But the feeling "mama, ama criminal" do not leave me, every time you buy Bitcoins. Even warned me that the Savings Bank is not very fond of such transfers and can block the card. I still managed to avoid blocking.
What's next? You can store your Bitcoins and wait until the exchange rate will reach $ 5000 or $ 10,000, as some experts predict. And you can try to make money by speculating on the difference in altkoinov courses.
Step 2. Poloniex
Or simply "Polo". This is one of the most famous altkoinovyh exchanges, offering a huge amount of kriptovalyutnyh pairs. And she constantly flashes in all the reviews and in all forums. That's why I chose it. Immediately warn you that you will find 100 and 500 negative reviews on this exchange: long withdrawing money, the service desk is in no hurry to reply, etc. However, the exact same reviews I read about each exchange, which has been on my list of applicants...
It should be noted that the world has experienced kriptovalyutny experience whistles hacking hackers markets and falling prices of many assets from tens of dollars to a few cents. Therefore, read the stock exchange, which are going to trade. But still it does not guarantee that will protect you from the "Black Swan".
Now back to our 5000 rubles, converted into Bitcoin. They are stored in a purse LocalBitcoins and now we will translate them into Poloniex exchange.
Do not forget that for every transaction surcharge. When the minimum transfer amount of 0.15% is retained for sale, and 0.25% for purchasing coin. Calculate your break-even point, after which you can withdraw from the transaction if the currency rise.
That's how I decided to dispose of their Bitcoins: bought them a little ETH and LTC. Guys, I believe in you!
In Poloniex have a mobile app. It is paid, it is worth 299 rubles in App Store. For its authorization, you will need to enter the API Key and Secret code from your account in a browser. But I prefer to work from a mobile site or a laptop.
eToro platform
From this platform, I met at the time of their active PR together with Sberbank. What they sell CFD-contracts on Bitcoin and Ethereum learned from the news ForkLog .
CFD-contract, short for "Contract For Difference", - a "Contract for Difference". Which means - instead of buying a "real" asset, in the hope that its price will rise (or drop), you invest in an increase (or decrease) rate of the asset.
To start trading on the eToro, will have to pass the verification, which involves sending a photo of the passport and proof of place of registration even a bank statement or a receipt for payment of utility bills. With this it was necessary to torment and even several times to write support.
The rest of the service interface is very simple and intuitive. After instant deposit with the Savings Bank cards can start trading. Withdrawals also are not forced to be fidgety. It came less than an hour.
A bit of reflection on the cryptocurrency
