Read on Twitter
a lot of ppl keep asking me about bitcoin and crypto in general and how to get started, so im gonna use this thread to consolidate some info
Bitcoin: peer to peer version of electronic cash. You can read the original whitepaper describing it here: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
good books to read: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Bitcoin-Unlocking-Digital-Cryptocurrencies/dp/1449374042 https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Gold-Bitcoin-Millionaires-Reinvent/dp/006236250X
this is long but it's solid general overview of cryptocurrency vs. fiat currencies and why bitcoin has value https://medium.freecodecamp.org/cryptocurrency-101-7197684775fd
^ also provides some insight on how you can buy/store your cryptocurrencies and someone's personal experience w/ trading
another good starters guide by @Panama_TJ: https://decentralize.today/starters-guide-for-crypto-trading-8d4b9862735
^ I recommend reading the interviews he does on his page if you want to see various people's personal trading experiences with crypto
another solid beginner's guide, also covers some of the prominent exchanges and warns against hyip schemes lol https://cryptohustle.com/bitcoin-and-cryptocurrencies-for-beginners

Technical Analysis: http://www.investopedia.com/university/technical/
trading crypto is similar to trading forex http://www.investopedia.com/university/forexmarket/forex1.asp https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex
. @CarpeNoctom 's articles can be helpful on seeing technical analysis from different timeframes & perspectives https://bravenewcoin.com/news/bitcoin-price-analysis-volatility-reigns/
. @VentureCoinist is also a good resource for TA, explains his ideas well in his threads and his telegram channel https://twitter.com/VentureCoinist/status/920804506249478144
I recommend starting with understanding basic candlesticks, horizontal support/resistance and trend lines
after you get a good grasp of the basics I would look at exponential moving averages, stoch rsi/rsi, macd, ichimoku cloud, & bollinger bands
http://tradingview.com is free and is a good site to use to practice
example of how to use ichimoku cloud: https://twitter.com/CarpeNoctom/status/611631313108381696
. @cryptomocho & @Cryptomickey are good resources if you're looking for low cap/micro cap coins https://twitter.com/Cryptomickey/status/917053770630012928
