Choose A Platform

A platform is a place that allows you to buy or sell a digital currency in exchange for your local currency and even with any other digital currency. Each trading platform has a different mechanism of work and each platform has its own perks and set of rules. By choosing a platform, you subscribe to its terms and conditions just like a bank. Every bank has set some rules, such as a percentage of profit or loss, surrounding fees, support, accessibility, etc. The crypto trading platform works like a digital bank that operates in the same manner. It helps you buy and sell your cryptocurrency and even provides an account where your cryptocurrency is saved. It is usually called a ‘wallet’, where all your digital currencies are kept for further trading. Some popular platforms are:

• Etoro
• CoinSpot
• Cointree
• Swyftx

These platforms deal with various cryptocurrencies and the fees per trade vary from platform to platform. Here you have to compare each platform and analyze which one suits best your budget.

Analyze The Platform

Once you have made your mind to investing in crypto, you have to decide what you are looking for in the platform. Your cryptocurrency exchange must possess an easy accessibility feature. For example, some digital exchanges are restricted in some states and some cryptocurrencies are restricted to be traded by the authorities, so it is necessary for you to know about the limitations of the access. Besides accessibility, you must also know the authenticity of the platform. AUSTRAC is a state-owned department that registers digital exchange platforms and provides them with the license to work legally. Only deal with those exchanges that are registered with AUSTRAC. Because unregistered businesses can get penalized with huge criminal charges and can cause you a complete loss. Lastly, check if the platform is secure or not. Central institutions can not provide your digital money the security it provides when your money is in the bank. For this purpose, digital exchanges have a financial insurance policy. Dig deep and explore the details and analyze your platform!

Creating An Account

Once you have decided on the digital exchange, you have to make an account on the platform. For the account, you’ll have to add your credentials very keenly. Any false detail might reject your registration. The digital exchange platform may require your legal name, your date and location of birth, your current address, a copy of your utility bill, a government ID or a passport copy, your picture, your bank details, etc. They may even want to know your source of income too. Making an account on a cryptocurrency platform is not as hard as it seems. You just need a few things and you are good to go. People often wonder if it is safe to provide their personal details to a digital exchange or not. Simply we can say that yes it is safe if your platform is registered and is credible. 

Make A Deposit

Now that you have verified your credentials the platform has set up your account on your digital exchange platform you have to deposit some fiat currency to proceed with the investment process. The least amount of deposit varies between $10 to $100 depending on the terms and conditions of the platform. Some platforms accept payment through a debit or credit card while some accept a local transfer from the bank or some accept the e-wallet. Whatever their mode of payment is, every option should be easily available for you by your exchange platform. 

Selecting A Cryptocurrency

At this point, you are ready to invest in cryptocurrency but which digital currency is better for you? To decide on a cryptocurrency you have to explore certain things about your currency. First, look out for what people have to say about it. When a large number of people trade in a specific cryptocurrency then there are chances that the cryptocurrency has better trade rates and is more credible because a large number of people have been investing in it for a long time and they have witnessed better days. Besides its goodwill in the market, the technology working behind it is also essential. When digital currency provides smart solutions like the ease of blockchain for developers, easy access to bigger scale applications, etc. For example, Ethereum has a smart technology as compared to others and is quite popular in Australia.
