Make sure to get plenty of practice before you start trading with real money. Thankfully, you have several trading simulator apps you can make use of. These offer you virtual money to trade with, real asset prices and tools for market research.

What Else Do You Need?

Besides patience and skill, you’ll need a place to store your Bitcoin in. This is where the illustrious Bitcoin wallet comes in. When you go looking for one, you’ll come across several different kinds of this wallet. In general, there are 2 kinds of Bitcoin wallets.

These are the hot and cold ones. The hot ones are rather convenient because they share a connection with the Internet. This means you can access them whenever you want to. Also, they store your private key online which makes them risky to use.

That’s why you could go for a cold wallet. These ones don’t share a connection to the net, but they store the private keys on external devices. In other words, they aren’t as convenient, but they’re quite safe from online threats. You can store a finite amount of Bitcoin in them and use them whenever you want to.

Naturally, the kind of wallet you pick is entirely your choice. It needs to suit your needs but also provide an ample amount of security for your Bitcoin amount. So, make sure to go over the different variants and find the ideal wallet for you.
