INTRODUCTION

Bitcoin has taken the world by storm as the digital currency continues to make new all-time
highs in price. Internet security expert John McAfee said in 2017 that he believed the price
could reach $5000 in three years… It’s already surpassed that by 3x as of this writing…

With the potential in rising prices, many are left wondering exactly how they can try to
grab a piece of the pie. Before getting involved in Bitcoin, it is imperative to understand
exactly what Bitcoin is. You need to know that they are units of digital currency, and
they are not exchange-traded products like a stock or commodity. There are a few steps
involved in order to purchase bitcoins, including obtaining a Bitcoin wallet for your bitcoins
to be deposited in.

But first, here are three things you need to know before your first trade… If you are looking
to trade Bitcoin, understand these things before putting your capital at risk.

HOW TO GET STARTED
TRADING BITCOIN
There are several different wallet providers
(such as Coinbase or Binance) from which
to choose. Once you have researched your
options and obtained a wallet, you can
begin buying and selling bitcoins. These
units of digital currency can be purchased
for regular use, as an investment or as
a speculative play. If you are looking to
actively trade Bitcoin, there are numerous
ways you could proceed depending on risk
tolerance, objectives and more.
The market for Bitcoin appears to be
growing by the day, and price volatility
is becoming the norm. Such a trading
environment can make for quick and
significant potential gains as well as quick
and significant potential losses.
One simple way to go about trading Bitcoin
given recent price action is to employ a
trend following strategy. The price of the
cryptocurrency has seen some sharp rises
followed by some sharp declines, but the
longer-term trend appears to be pointing
higher. A simple strategy would be to wait
to buy until prices see a decent pullback
from the highs, or pullback to a trend line.
Another way to play a volatile market that
is trending higher would be to buy on a
fresh high in price, looking for that bullish
momentum to continue. Whatever strategy
you decide to go with, whether it is chart-
based or otherwise, the key to trading any
asset is in risk management.
This is where trading Bitcoin can become
very challenging. The lack of a central
exchange makes placing a stop loss order
impossible. Sure, you can sell your bitcoins if
the currency declines to a specific level, but
there is nothing to say that its value couldn’t
see declines far beyond your chosen risk
parameters. In fact, it is also possible that
the currency could become worthless if
the network became compromised or
merchants abandoned it.
Scaling into or out of positions may also be
useful. For example, if you purchased five
bitcoins at $4000 each, you could look to
sell two at $5000 and two at $7000. On the
other hand, you can also look to scale into a
buy by purchasing bitcoins and then dollar-
cost averaging if the price drops.

CRYPTO IS HOTTER THAN
ANYTHING WE’VE EVER SEEN
The cryptocurrency market is hotter than
anything I’ve ever seen before. And the
good news is we’re in the midst of an
absolute earthquake for that market!
Cryptocurrencies are things with names
like “bitcoin” or “ethereum.” They’re digital
currencies that are largely out of the
hands of any centralized government. And
the fact of the matter is that people from
all over the world are getting rich from
these cryptocurrencies…
“I quit my job
and left on
a round-the-
world trip the
following week.”
There are over 984 cryptocurrencies in
existence now. More are coming to market
every day. And many are shooting higher
and higher each and every day.
How is that possible? Well, these
cryptocurrencies are essentially the
equivalent of microcap stocks. That is,
many are underfollowed and trading at a
huge discount — but poised for explosive
moves higher.
Consider the case of a gentleman profiled
in Forbes named Mr. Smith, who turned
$3,000 into $2.3 million! What’s he doing
now? According to Forbes:
Just like that, Smith had landed upon a
windfall of $2.3 million. “It was absolutely
insane,” he says. “I quit my job and left on a
round-the-world trip the following week.”
There are many stories just like that. And
the fact that savvy institutional investors
— including prominent venture capitalists
— are now treating cryptocurrencies
as a new asset class is a major tell
that we’re on the cusp of a permanent
transformation. In other words, this likely
isn’t a hype-driven fad that will fade. It’s
the dawn of a new technology.
With huge demand from hedge funds,
venture capitalists and big investment
banks like Goldman Sachs… All piling
millions of dollars into bitcoin… And with
the scarcity and strictly limited number of
bitcoins available… Bitcoin could likely go
up over time.

CRYPTO IS NOT JUST ABOUT
BITCOIN ANYMORE…

The biggest gains going forward probably

aren’t going to come from bitcoin.
Think of bitcoin as the “blue chip” of
cryptocurrencies. Trading at a higher
price, it’s a lot harder for bitcoin to
multiply in price than it is for a “penny”
crypto trading for under $1. That’s why
the biggest gains in this market will likely
come from sifting through the 1,000 or so
“penny” cryptocurrencies.

Here’s proof… On Friday, March 17,

2017, a tiny little cryptocurrency called
EnergyCoin was trading at a little over
one third of a penny. The exact price was
.003578 of a dollar.
Then a powerful super-spike struck
and over a 99-day period EnergyCoin
skyrocketed to 34 cents. That’s a whopping
9,566% gain — enough to turn a $1,000
investment into a staggering $95,660.
Imagine if you had a good feeling about
EnergyCoin and you had put down
$5,000… You could have collected
$478,300. That’s over $4,800 a day for 99
days straight. Double that starting stake to
$10,000 and you’re looking at close to a
cool million… from one single trade.
That’s like earning a $9,662 salary… per
day… for more than three full months! Now
I hope you can you see why I’m so excited
about the wild potential of these super-
spikes in cryptocurrencies. Practically every
day, I’m seeing astronomical gains from one
alternative cryptocurrency or another of
300%… 400%… even 3,000% — some in as
little as 24 hours.
Beats working for a living, right? But in
order to “win” in this market — and to win
big — you need to be able to separate the
real deal from the losers. You’ll need to do
your own research...

WHAT ARE THE RISKS?
So, you’ve seen the potentially lucrative part of crypto currencies, but what are the risks?
YOU COULD LOSE A LOT OF MONEY
Just because Bitcoin prices have been
on the rise doesn’t mean that prices
cannot fall. In fact, if the network were to
somehow become completely compromised
or rendered unusable as a medium of
exchange, prices for bitcoins and other
electronic currencies could decline to zero.
CRYPTOCURRENCIES ARE NOT YET
WIDELY ACCEPTED
Although more merchants are now
accepting Bitcoin, this form of money
still has not reached mainstream status.
Don’t expect to pay your mortgage using
cryptocurrencies just yet.
SECURITY MAY BE AN ISSUE
As a new form of money, cryptocurrencies
have not yet been fully tested for potential
vulnerabilities. Cyber crimes are on the
rise all over the globe, and digital currency
security is sure to be a primary issue as
these products become more mainstream. If
a Bitcoin wallet file is lost, for example, all of
the bitcoins contained in it are likely gone.
FRAUD MAY BE PERPETRATED
As cyber crimes rise, so does the amount
of good old-fashioned fraud. Double spend
attacks are just one example of the types of
fraud that may be seen with digital currency.
As hackers and cybercriminals become even
more technically advanced, other types of
fraud could also begin to take place.
THERE IS NO BUYER PROTECTION
If you were to make a purchase using
Paypal or a credit card, you would likely
have a degree of fraud protection. If the
funds were sent to a fraudulent seller, those
funds can be called back in the form of a
chargeback. However, no such protection
exists with cryptocurrencies, and all
transactions are irreversible.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF
CRYPTOCURRENCIES ARE THE WAVE OF
THE FUTURE
There has been much discussion already
about the future of Bitcoin and other digital
currencies. Although these currencies have
become more popular, they have not yet
been fully tested. It may also be unlikely
that digital currencies could fully replace
fiat money, as central banks can increase
or decrease the paper money supply in
order to tackle inflation, deflation or other
economic issues.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies could
become the next major vehicle for global
commerce, or they could prove to be a
complete and total dud. Before buying
cryptocurrencies, carefully consider the risks
involved and only invest with risk capital.

THE BIG POSSIBLE FUTURE
OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES
With cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin surging in popularity, people are
naturally going to get curious about this digital form of money. Investors may wonder if
cryptocurrencies could replace fiat money. They may even wonder how high prices for
digital currencies could go.

Unfortunately, there are no concrete answers to these questions. Because the notion of
digital currency replacing fiat, or paper money is still so new, let’s take a look at both
sides of the issue.

Before we get to that, let’s take a look at a brief overview of each type of currency:

• Is produced by central banks

• Can technically have unlimited supply
• Loses purchasing power over time
• Can be manipulated to increase exports

FIAT CURRENCY

• Is a decentralized blockchain digital currency

to be used as a medium of exchange
• Not controlled by any single party,
government or bank
• Has a limited supply
• May not be manipulated to gain
competitive advantage

There is a modern day currency war
going on right now. Central banks have
devalued their currency in order to
provide a meaningful advantage when
it comes to global trade. Governments
and central banks have the ability to
increase or decrease the money supply,
depending on their objectives. This can
make currency markets volatile and
sometimes unpredictable.
The dollar has been losing value for
decades, effectively lowering the
purchasing power of everyone holding
dollars. Throughout history, fiat
currencies have lost value over time.
Naysayers of paper money have long
advocated other means to protect wealth
and buying power such as physical gold
or other hard assets.
The question of whether or not digital
money could replace fiat is a difficult one,
and likely won’t be answered for some time
to come. It is important to keep in mind
that digital currencies like Bitcoin are only
in their infancy. These currencies have not
yet been fully accepted by the mainstream,
although the number of merchants
accepting them may be rising.
Digital currencies still have much to prove.
Potential security issues, theft, criminal
activities and general acceptance are just
a few of the hurdles currently being faced
by this new form of “money.” It could take
years, even decades, for these electronic
currencies to reach a level of reliability that
earns the public’s trust.
The limited supply of digital currency as
well as its decentralized nature may also
present serious issues for governments
and central banks. Such a monetary
system could change the face of money
and commerce as we know it today, and
governments may be reluctant to use a
system which is not completely under
their control. It could inhibit their ability to
affect the money supply and to maintain
inflation targets.
The rise of cryptocurrency has likely
only just begun. As global economies
become more technically advanced and
as global commerce increases further,
the possibility of more widespread use
of this form of currency may exist. Don’t
plan on using bitcoins to buy a new
house just yet, however.
