To the new guys trying to figure out where to start go to mycrypto.guide
Reading this thread from page 1 can be helpful but honestly it's a very inefficient use of your time, at this point. The market has changed so much. Many of us have changed philosophies from when you may have read something from 6 months ago.
My personal suggestion:
-Read the link I posted above
-Get a notebook binder (if you're old school) or note taking app/software then go to coinmarketcap.com. Start from #1, Bitcoin, and learn about the technology, utility, and community, taking notes as you go along. Do this for the top 30-100 coins, at least.
- Download the Blockfolio app to your phone and put all the coins you took notes on in the app plus any notable coins you come across during your research. This will help with remembering coin prices and also knowing when coins rise and fall. This app also acts as a ledger for you to keep track of the coins you will eventually buy. Eventually, you will be able to look at a coin's price and instantly know you're getting a good deal if you buy right then.
At this point, you should have an idea of several coins that have your interest. Open a Reddit account, or if you already have one, create a new one dedicated to crypto. Then, subscribe to the subreddits of the coins you like. Eventually, you'll want to subscribe to the subreddits of most of those coins you put in Blockfolio, plus every new coin you come across with potential. If you don't know the name of the subreddits, just go to Google and type in "coin name" + "Reddit". Then, you have a sortable database of information that will keep you abreast to the "soul" of the market.
Also, subscribe to ethtrader, cryptomarkets, cryptocurrency, cointrading, altcoin, chinacrypto, and icocrypto subreddits.
At this point, you will be able to track the price movement as well as the news, rumors, and community sentiment of the market.
Now, you will be able to get an idea of what kind of trader you want to be. Overwhelmed by everything and just want to invest and hold without research? Just buy into the big 3 coins on Coinbase and come back in 6 months. Want to find obscure yet risky coins that can give you 50x returns? Roll up your sleeves and go to bitcointalk.com or icoalert. Want a portfolio mix of the two? Ingratiate yourself with the crypto community on Youtube, join Facebook and Telegram groups, for starters.
Before you invest your money on an exchange:
-Learn the difference between a currency, platform, and a token. (Mycrypto.guide)
-Know how a coin's supply affects price movement (just ask us)
-Know how volume affects your ability to buy and sell (low volume=low liquidity=harder to buy/sell)
-Don't chase coins that are approaching an all-time high, or 24 hour high (You will still do this but I had to make note)
Bitcoin= gold Ethereum=oil. No matter what, always try to accumulate these two long term. They are the backbone of the market and will be here long term. Put a little bit in a paper wallet or cold storage and buy more over time for retirement, higher education, paying off debts, etc.
I wrote this off 10 hours of sleep the past 3 days so excuse anything I missed. Just ask questions.
As LSN mentioned, making money in crypto is like a 2nd full-time job. If you want to make money quickly, you're gonna have to spend a lot of time doing research. Unlike the stock market, this market is open 24/7 and never stops.
So what do you do to be successful in this game while still having a life?
You have to make an honest assessment on how you can be more efficient with the time you have. Figure out ways to immerse yourself in the cryptosphere while maintaining your daily routine. I'll give you insight to my schedule.
I work a crazy work schedule from 6pm-430am. I do light industrial work for a Fortune 100 company where I'm constantly moving in a small space. When I'm working, I'm watching/listening to YouTube videos on crypto. YouTuber Crypt0 gives a daily breakdown of the news of the day. DataDash, YLGV, Crypto Bobby and CoinMastery provide solid analysis on the market and what coins to look for. Others like Crypto Lark and BGOL's very own NewCryptoCoin do great ICO analysis and suggest great obscure coins to check out. I also chime in with the Slack groups I'm in, just in case something is happening in real time. I use breaks to check my Blockfolio and relax.
I workout and drive while listening to YouTube videos. I subscribe to YouTube Red to make it possible. It is very helpful for my lifestyle as I can watch vids without commercials and listen on my phone without the app being on the screen. I tried crypto podcasts but I didn't care for them. You may have different results.
I browse through whitepapers while I eat breakfast or wait in lines at the bank, grocery store, etc.
Weekly, I use Evernote to write a basic, loose plan of coins I plan on buying, and when I want to sell. If I divert from the plan, I write down why. It's very humbling when you look back and realize how much money you would've made if you just stuck to the plan you wrote. Learn from your decisions but try to move on. There's always a great trade in front of you.
Once you find coins you are bullish about, and invest accordingly, you have the flexibility to not go as hard. Take this time to spend extra time with family, enjoy your hobbies, make an ock thread, or whatever helps you unwind. You still want to put in time learning about upcoming ICOs, news, rumors, price movements, ect. But, it's a great feeling when you invest in low market cap coins you believe in and sit back and watch them grow.
Try to enjoy the journey and make it fun, when you can. This is a life-changing opportunity that can/will change you and your family's life exponentially.
i am reviewing No limit coin right now ...so far ..looks like a good buy.
African American Tech “Mompreneur” Launches Cryptocurrency $Guap to Grow Black-Owned Businesses
Nationwide — Technology veteran, visionnaire, and mompreneur Tavonia Evans has launched the very first ICO (Initial Coin Offering) for $Guap, a coin aimed at recycling wealth within the Black community. $Guap is a groundbreaking offer that breaks into the world of cryptocurrency with an ambitious mission to reward African-American consumers for supporting businesses that support them.
Traditionally, African-Americans account for a large chunk of spending power especially in regards to retail spending. However the spending that is often seen from African-Americans fails to support them locally in their community efforts, educationally, politically, and economically. African-Americans suffer greatly due to gentrification and often lose their economic value as quickly as it is gained. Additionally, it is often more affordable to spend with bigger brands who outcompete the local small business person, yet African-American women are one of the fastest growing markets of small business owners. $Guap believes it has the answer to circulating money back into this micro-economy and rewarding people for doing so.
$Guap is a ERC20 token built on Ethereum Blockchain Technology, which utilizes Smart Contracts to perform various tasks such as issuing “rewards” which is in the plan for $Guap. With $Guap, every token spent will be distributed throughout a system that will fund new businesses, HBCUs, and philanthropic efforts that adopt the coin. Merchants a part of the “$Guap Market”, pledge to pass on savings while benefiting from gaining access to loyal customers. Consumers will also be able to rate businesses and suggest methods for improvement anonymously to merchants to help maintain quality of service all through a proprietary portal.
Founder Tavonia Evans, has worked in Technology for almost 20 years and her greatest concern has been the barrier between African Americans and ability to support startup growth and initiative. She believes this is directly tied to the relationship between African-Americans and black economics and feels that cryptocurrency is the gamechanger.
Tavonia Evans is a mother of 8, a New York native and Georgia resident (for well over 20 years). She has worked in the technology field for two decades as a startup owner, developer, patent owner, and consultant to Government and several Fortune 500 companies. She has assembled an experienced team of African-American technology, finance, and investment experts with decades of experience. She can be contacted at tevans@guapcoin.com for all media related enquiries. $Guap can be found at www.guapcoin.com on the web or by the hashtag #getguap on social media.

good bc that shit wasnt good for the community at large...it was going to be too centralized and putting a lot of power in the hands of the miners.
Yeah. It's about to be revenge of the alts. I know on reddit they were talking about when to jump in and buy cheap alts. Some were getting in, others said to wait until next week.
