From what I have seen and read so far, it looks more easier to venture into as their is arguably little input required of the trader other than his decision to keep holding it or put it up for sell.
All that is required is to identify the various crypto options, get the right wallet and start trading. And this is to be followed up by been up to date in the news about it

1. Pick an exchange to trade on​

Just like fiat finance, to invest in cryptocurrencies you need a place where these coins are traded. To commence you will need to register and put some funds into your account, and then start buying and selling crypto.

There are a number of popular crypto exchanges, for example:

• Coinbase
• Poloniex
• CEX
• Bittrex
• Bitfinex
• Binance
• KuCoin

Such websites can have different terms of service and their trading platforms may differ a lot, so it is best to research and go through several reviews of exchanges (here are two: one, two).

2. Chose a cryptocurrency wallet​

As there are lots of exchanges, investors have to transfer funds between them somehow and also have a place to store their assets. Cryptocurrency wallets are tools that allow you to store and send crypto coins back and forth.
Currently, there are several types of crypto wallet(mobile, desktop, hardware, paper ones).

3. Find sources of information​

Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets whose prices can go up and down in large percentages in a few short hours. Such moves can be triggered by multiple events, so a crypto trader must constantly monitor market information.

Before putting your money into a coin it is a good idea to study the asset. One of the best tools for this research is Coinmarketcap, a website where you can find information on every coin and token available.

Cryptocurrencies are a digital form of currency which rely on levels of encryption to both generate and transfer funds without the need for a centralized bank. A career as a cryptocurrency trader could involve self-funded investment strategies, or, more likely, working as part of a team creating and implementing trading strategies on behalf of clients or an institutional portfolio.

The primary thing we will begin with is a clarification of who is a "proficient cryptographic money broker" and what is "exchanging":
In basic words, exchanging implies trade — purchase or sell — activities between two market members, where exchanging resources change hands.
Digital currency exchanging is a trade exchange between crypto-to-crypto or digital currencies to-fiat cash. Put basic, purchasing cryptographic money like Bitcoin for US dollars is a trade activity – implies you trade your money for crypto.
Being a merchant is something beyond a side interest, it is a genuine enthusiasm or calling, which requires a great deal of time and no less specialized information – just for this situation, exchanging will begin to bring normal benefit.
Digital money broker is a client of a digital money stage or trade following up on its own drive, by exchanging advanced resources (cryptographic forms of money and fiat cash) to benefit from the exchanging interaction itself (purchasing and selling reserves).
