Cryptocurrencies

What is a cryptocurrency?

A cryptocurrency is a digital asset that is attached to a blockchain network and provides some type of utility. The function of the cryptocurrency can vary. In some cases, it is as simple as being a store of value, similar to gold. In others the cryptocurrency is meant to hold transactional value in the same way that U.S. dollars, or Euros, or Pound Sterling do. And in others the cryptocurrency is used to power the blockchain network and the decentralized apps that run on it. But no matter what utility or use the cryptocurrency has, there is one thing that all have in common. They are all traded openly in cryptocurrency markets based on supply and demand and on the perceived value of the cryptocurrency and its blockchain.

How to trade cryptocurrencies?

The traditional way to trade cryptocurrencies is on a cryptocurrency exchange. There are both centralized and decentralized versions of these, but they do share in common the need to work with cryptocurrency wallets, private keys, and wallet addresses. With CFDs, there is no ownership of the underlying cryptocurrency.

Popular cryptocurrencies

While various cryptocurrencies come and go from the top 100 and even the top 10 (there are nearly 10,000 cryptocurrencies), there are some that remain popular over time. The king of the cryptocurrencies is Bitcoin. It was the very first, created in 2009, and has remained the largest by market capitalization by far since then. The next most popular is Ethereum, and it is also the second largest by market capitalization. It is a smart contract blockchain and is used for a large number of things, including decentralized exchanges, decentralized applications, decentralized finance, and most recently non-fungible tokens. Beyond these two, you'll find out that there are several cryptocurrencies that have also stood the test of time so far. These include:

  • Ripple
  • Litecoin
  • Dogecoin
  • Cardano

Investing vs. Trading Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency investors are more risk averse than traders. They fear losing money and are willing to give up some potential gains if it means that their capital remains safer. In addition, the investor has a longer time horizon. They may think of holding onto their cryptocurrencies for years, perhaps accumulating more any time the market dips. Traders on the other hand, rarely hold their positions for more than a few weeks, and it is far more common to see a trader buy and sell within the same week, or even within the same day. Because cryptocurrencies frequently make double-digit percentage moves it isn't difficult to capture significant gains in a single day. Finally, investors tend to focus more on the fundamentals, in the case of cryptocurrencies this would be the use case and adoption, whereas traders use technical analysis in their trading.
