(Newswire.net — March 12, 2020) — Bitcoin is not the easiest thing to trade in. To be really good at it, you have to be skilled and understand the market. However, if you are thinking about getting into bitcoin, here is a simple and quick guide on how to begin your journey into bitcoin trading.

1) Open an account on a bitcoin trading site

It is important, firstly, to note that bitcoin trading does not involve long-term investment. Trading bitcoin involves buying and selling in the short term in order to make a profit.

It is important to note that bitcoin is very volatile. In other words, you can make a nice profit if you manage to correctly anticipate the market. Second, Unlike traditional markets, Bitcoin trading is open 24/7.

2) Learn the language

Bitcoin does not have one online site- rather, brokers sell you bitcoin directly, usually for a fee. Other than that,  you can buy bitcoin on a trading platform, a place where buyers and sellers communicate directly in order to make a trade.

The Order Book- this is a complete list of all the buy orders and sell orders, which can be viewed on whichever trading platform you are using.

3) Learn how transactions work

One of the best things about trading in bitcoin is that you do not have to go through a bank to do so. This is possible through public key cryptography. Every single bitcoin user has a private key and a public address. The public address is what people use to send you bitcoin. You can send bitcoin to anyone using your private key. You should NEVER reveal your private key to anyone.
