1. Pick an exchange to trade on

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.

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.
