About Cryptocurrency wallets:

Just like we store tangible money in our pockets, we need something to place our cryptocurrencies in. You can store them on your Exchange platform but using a wallet can give you added security. Select a wallet that has added security. You can also go for a hardware wallet to carry it on you. Try to do a lot of research about the wallet that you are thinking of using as all your cryptocurrencies will be stored in it.

Tips for beginners in Cryptocurrency Investment:

  • You have to diversify at a point in time. You cannot just stick to Bitcoins all your life. Try to move on to Ethereums or other coins by judging the market. But do not diversify just because everybody is doing it. Analysing the market is very important.
  • Do not go haywire on investing everything you have. Always set a percentage that you want to invest in cryptocurrencies. This is quite essential as it will help you out in cases of emergencies.
  • It is best to buy a cryptocurrency when it is priced low as you can sell it easily when it reaches a higher price point in the market.
  • Never think that dealing in cryptocurrency is tax-free. Always take advice from a tax firm when you are dealing with cryptocurrency. You never want to make a tax breach as it will cost you a lot.
  • Keep out of scammers that are always looming in the market.

This is the simplest way to advice you in investing on cryptocurrencies. But you have to realize that there are lots of information left for you to study before you jump onto investments.
