"The best time to buy bitcoin is always... RIGHT NOW!"

That's right, Bitcoin (BTC) is always going up. You can learn charting, read analytics, etc., but the best time to buy is always right now if you're new to crypto. Commitment is the first step of your addiction and there is no recovery process.

If I would start over right now here's what I'd do.

$100

Sign up for Coinbase and buy $100 of BTC using your checking account. Your BTC will not be available for a few days, but you lock in the market price when you hit "buy". Now you're committed. $100 isn't really enough to trade so I recommend just hodling it.

So your stack @ $100 =

  • 100% BTC to HODL
    * Sit and watch it grow.

$500

Sign up for Coinbase and buy $400 of BTC and $100 ETH. After your funds become available take half of your BTC and trade it on GDAX it's free to do limit trades and the fees are very low (0.25%) for market trades.

Next go to Trading View create the free account and visit the interactive chart for BTC. Add the "RSI" and "EMA 13/34" indicators. RSI is a chart that represents oversold/overbought. Turn the time to 1H and when the RSI goes above 70% it's overbought, you should sell your GDAX stack when it goes way above this mark!

If you look at the bottom of this chart you'll see above 70% being overbought and when it dips below 30% it's oversold. Always buy back in when it's oversold!

You're goal is not to trade for more USD, but to add to your BTC stack!

So your stack @ $500 =

  • 40% BTC to HODL
  • 40% BTC to trade
  • 20% ETH to HODL
    * Target a 20% return on monthly trading.

$1,000

Now you're cooking with some gas!

If you have $1,000 then sign up for Coinbase and buy $800 of BTC and $200 ETH. Transfer $300 of BTC to GDAX to trade.

Now create an account at Bittrex and transfer another $100 of BTC from Coinbase to your new Bittrex account. On Bittrex you can trade with Big, Mid, and Small Cap coins. I'd recommend not trading outside of the top 10 or 20 on Coin Market Cap. Buy $100 worth of the coin you think looks good and use those charts on Trading View to determine when a coin is overbought or sold. Buy 1 "altcoin" at a time and trade in and out of BTC.

These are my favorite coins for long and short term potential right now

  • BTC
  • ETH
  • XRP
  • LTC
  • IOTA
  • XMR
  • DASH
  • ARK
  • OMG
  • VERT
  • SALT
  • TENX
  • STEEM

Keep in mind you want to trade back to BTC (always be growing your BTC)

So your stack @ $1,000 =

  • 40% BTC to HODL
  • 30% BTC to trade
  • 20% ETH to HODL
  • 10% ALT Coin Trading (1 coin at a time)
    * Target a 20% return on monthly trading.

$10,000

Great news there are a lot of options with that kind of stack!

Sign up for Coinbase and buy $8,000 of BTC and $2,000 ETH. Transfer $2,000 of BTC to GDAX to trade. Transfer $2,000 of BTC to trade in alt coins on Bittrex.

On Bittrex:

  • Buy 5 Large Cap coins @ $250 of BTC a piece. I'd recommend XMR, XRP, LTC, IOTA, DASH.
  • Buy 1/2 Dozen Mid/Small Cap coins @ $100-$200 of BTC a piece. I'd recommend ARK, OMG, VERT, SALT, TENX, STEEM.
  • Use the RSI to trade in and out of coins, buy "dips" sell "pumps" and always trade back to BTC!

So your stack @ $10,000 =

  • 40% BTC to HODL
  • 20% BTC to trade
  • 20% ETH to HODL
  • 20% Alt Coin Trading (several coins at a time)
    * Target a 20% return on monthly trading.

* I'm not a professional investor and this is just "what I would do" not actually trading advise. Use your brain, learn how to read simple charts and good luck!"
