Master Crypto here. I created this quick crypto guide to help those who are
new to the world of digital currency. Please note that I am NOT a financial
advisor and this guide is for informational and educational purposes only. It is
important to do your own research in addition to using this guide to make
informed decisions about your investments in cryptocurrency.

So, what is cryptocurrency? Simply put, it is a digital currency that uses


decentralized systems and cryptography to verify and secure financial
transactions, rather than relying on a central authority like a bank. Some
companies and brands have also created their own cryptocurrencies, called
tokens, which can be traded specifically for the goods or services they offer.
These transactions are facilitated using a technology called blockchain.

Now, onto the benefits of investing in cryptocurrency. There are many


potential advantages to consider, including:

Easy transactions: Cryptocurrencies can make it easier to make financial


transactions, particularly across borders.
Potential for high returns: Some investors have seen significant returns
from their investments in cryptocurrencies.
Access to a wide range of investment opportunities: The cryptocurrency
market offers a variety of options for investors.
Direct control over investments: Cryptocurrencies allow investors to have
direct control over their investments, rather than relying on intermediaries
like banks.
Hedge against inflation: Some view cryptocurrencies as a hedge against
inflation, as they are not tied to any specific country or central bank.
Innovative technology: Cryptocurrencies are based on innovative
technologies such as blockchain, which have the potential to disrupt and
revolutionize traditional industries.
24/7 markets: The cryptocurrency market is open 24/7, offering investors
the opportunity to trade at any time.

4. BEAR MARKET VS. BULL MARKET

What Is A Bull Market?

A bull market or what many call a bull run, is defined as a


period of time where a good majority of investors are buying,
demand outweighs supply, market confidence is at a CRAZY
high, and prices are rising consistently.

If you are in the Crypto market and you see prices quickly
trending upwards, this could be a sign that the majority of
investors are becoming optimistic or “bullish” about the price
increasing further, and may mean that you’re looking at the
start of a bull market or the "Bull Run".

Investors who believe that prices will increase over time are
known as "The Bulls”.

What Is A Bear Market?

Bear markets are defined as a period of time where the crypto


supply is greater than demand, confidence is low, and prices
are falling.

Cynical investors who believe prices will continue to fall are,


therefore, referred to as “The Bears.”
Quick Bullet Points About Crypto Bear and Bull Markets
• Buy low and sell high
• Buy major dips
• Average bear market length (289 days or 9.6 months)
• Average bull market length (973 days or 2.7 years)
• Bitcoin drops average of 30%-75% in bear market
• Altcoins drop and average of 80%-90% in bear market
• Wealth is built buying at the end of bear market
• A crypto market cycle is approximately 4 years
• Year #1 is the start of the BEAR Market (see example below)

5. Common Crypto Mistakes

Not Taking Profits

Don’t forget to take profits on the way up. Don’t get excited
and think your investment is always going to the moon.

Sending Coins To The WRONG Address

Double check crypto addresses before making a transaction


because they are permanent. No customer service to call, no
“OOPS” button!

Not Staking Your Coins

Staking allows for passively growing your coins with high APY
from 4% to even 20% on average.

Not Securing Your Investments

Properly Use strong passwords. Use two-factor


authentication. Use Face ID. DO NOT sign into accounts on
public networks. Use COLD Wallets.

Investing More Than You Can Afford

Only invest what you can afford to lose. Crypto markets are
volatile so make sure you read the section about “Bear” and
“Bull” markets.

Buying All-Time Highs

Don’t FOMO into the market when you see BIG GREEN
CANDLES and HUGE RUNS! Dollar Cost Average into the
market if you are not a seasoned investor. Crypto can move
50% up or down in a violent swing!

6. Crypto Tips To Remember
Cryptocurrency Taxes

Cryptocurrency is not a way to bypass paying taxes, it is still


classed as an investment and will likely be subject to the same
capital gains tax rules as other investments. For those in
Australia see the ATO website for more details. For those
outside Australia, please check your own government's tax
information or speak to a professional for tax advice.

Working out taxes on your cryptocurrency trades can be very


intimidating especially if you have lots of small transactions
that you haven't been keeping track of.

Software companies such as Koinly offer a way to connect


with your wallets and exchanges and work out your taxes for
you, they have a paid and a FREE version. They are trusted the
world over.

Fill Out Your KYC Information

Many cryptocurrency exchanges require KYC, which is short


for "know your customer" as well as "know your client". This is
the process of verifying a customer's identity. Not filling out
your KYC on exchanges can restrict how you buy, sell or trade
crypto, especially withdrawal.

What Is Dollar Cost Averaging?

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is defined as buying crypto at


determined intervals regardless of price, and has proven to be
one of the most effective and even safest ways to accumulate
bitcoin. It allows the individual to mitigate bitcoin's wild
volatility, and have peace of mind in their saving or store of
value strategy. For example, you could put $10 a week into
bitcoin no matter what the price is. This will likely average
down your purchase price over time.

Cryptocurrency Rankings:

CoinMarketCap is a website where you can view the current rankings


of all cryptocurrencies in real time, with data such as current price,
chart history, market cap, 24 hour volume etc.. it allows you to search
by trending tokens, those that have only been recently added, top
gainers, top losers and many other categories which is great for
researching different crypto's to invest in. Always make sure to do
you research on the cryptocurrencies you look into such as whether
they have a website and socials, whether they are constantly posting
to their socials and interacting with the community, whether they are
continuing to develop and hire staff even in downturns in the market.

It's also important to check the contract address as there are many
scam coins out there which will just steal you money if you invest.
That brings us onto our next resource.

Contract Address Audits:


Token Sniffer is a website that allows you to audit the contract address
of a cryptocurrency to identify whether there is any malicious code that
would allow the project team to steal your money.

There are multiple risks to look out for such as someone holding a very
large percentage of the supply which they can dump on the market at
any given moment leaving it worthless, or, a honeypot risk which is
where they disable the sell function and so it may look like your coin is
going up in value but in reality you can't actually sell it.

Try it yourself:
0x1f878d0bccd3d502ff55f7a4797c556f103d6e4b
Scan the above code in Token Sniffer to witness all the red flags.

Please note this isn't a fool proof way to identify a risk as you will also
find some of the big projects such as Ethereum don't have high scores as
they need to be able to edit the protocol to have some oversight.
although this does make them less decentralised.
