The Lesson Plan

As a service to the community I have created this tutorial series.

It takes students right through the basics, to the more advanced trading concepts.

We start the school, at pre-school (obviously).
Then we go through Kindergarten then, and on to Elementary School (more advanced concepts).

I will upload the lessons, in instalments.

Here is the plan:

I hope you guys find it useful.

Preschool - Lesson 1:

Why Trade Bitcoin and Crypto?

If you know the why, you can endure any how.

There are many benefits and advantages of trading Crypto.
Here are just a few reasons why so many people are choosing this market:

- Decentralized Valuations:
Bitcoin is unique. In that, it is the only currency not issued by a central bank. So there is no central authority to manipulate its value. This can make it quite volatile. But, because it is free from central manipulation, its price can be considered more fair in many respects. Besides, volatility is the friend of any trader looking for greater profits, faster.

- Low Transaction Costs:
Moving bitcoins from one place, to another, is very cheap and quick, relative to other forex trading. There are no clearing agencies, or banks involved. So, the associated costs are eliminated. Further, iceCUBED does not charge any deposit and withdrawal fees. Bitcoin, and similar digital currencies, are by far the most cost effective to move around for trading. This improves trading profits dramatically.

- Low Trading Costs/Fees:
At iceCUBED we keep trading costs very low. When compared with usual forex trading accounts, the trading fees are incredibly low. Specifically, there are NO Deposit or Withdrawal fees for digital currency transactions.

For individual traders the commission is between 0.8% – 1.5% per trade. For high volume traders the trading commission is between 0.5% – 0.8% per trade.

Conclusion:

We hope Trading Preschool Lesson 1 was of some assistance.

Cryptocurrencies represent a new, exciting and unique asset class.

In the next lesson we will ask: 'Who Trades Bitcoin'?
