Answers To FAQs

Where can I buy Bitcoin?

In small quantities, I can recommend LocalBitcoins and Coinbase. Coinbase is the central bank of Bitcoin, but your payment options are limited. LocalBitcoins, on the other hand, has hundreds of options.

If you're looking to make a larger investment, RegalWallet. They have advisers that can help you figure out the best investment vehicle given your current portfolio. You can get a free investment packet from Regal Wallet by clicking here.

Where can I trade Bitcoin/alt-coin?

I like Binance.

There are exchanges and trading houses. Exchanges are places where you can buy cryptocurrency. They don't necessarily have the best markets. Trading houses specialize in making markets in certain crytpo-crosses. The trading house you go to depends on the amount of volume that house has in that cross pair. Just because Bittrex has the largest trading volume in BTC/ETH does not mean it has the largest trading volume for BCN/BTC. The best place to trade, the best trading house, depends on the currency pair you are trying to trade. You can find the trading house with the highest volume in your currency pair by going to Coinmarket Cap and looking up "Markets" for the crypto you're interested in. I like Binance because it offers a lot of ICOs that Bittrex doesn't, you can sign up without a bank account, it accepts US traders, and it makes GAS payments. Commissions are 50% if you pay in Binance coin. Still, the best trading house for you to trade in depends on the currency pair.

What hardware wallets are the best?

If you want to store your cryptocurrencies safely, the best way is through a hardware wallet. There are alternatives such as paper wallets, but these are convenient and my choice for cold storage (offline): Ledger Nano S, Trezor, Ledger Blue (expensive)

I like the Ledger Nano S, but the Trezor is a close second. Ledger Blue is premium and convenient, but unnecessary.

The best soft wallet is Blockchain.

What is the best book for investing in crypto?

Cryptoassets.

This is one of those holy grail reads if you want to know more about investing in Crypto. It avoids technical jargon and focuses on the main things you need to focus on to maximize profits. It's a comprehensive read no matter your level of understanding. Beginners will find information about cryptocurrencies (not just Bitcoin) and experts will find the chapters on valuation particularly useful. It also explores correlations with other asset classes like gold and ETFs (one of my favorite parts of the book). I highly recommend.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
