You don’t have to be a programmer or techie to invest in crypto, but you should first learn the basics of how it functions. I find that this video by 3Blue1Brown is the best introduction to what a blockchain actually is and how it functions, because it explains it clearly and simply with visuals while not dumbing it down too much.
Here is a quick summary of the common terms you should know.
CoinMarketCal – Keeping tabs of everything going on in crypto is tough, wouldn’t it be great if there was some sort of calendar? Well this is a calendar of upcoming crypto events, whether its conferences, product releases, burns, exchange listings…etc. You can also filter by types of events, coins and month.
CoinFYI – Great for following the news related to a specific cryptocurrencies
CryptoPanic – An aggregator of various crypto sites and news, filterable.
CoinSpectator – Another aggregator from over a 100 different sources of crypto news.
CCI30 – Kind of like the S&P500 for crypto, its an index of the 30 biggest cryptocurrencies
Eveningstar – this is basically trying to be the Morning Star for cryptos
ICODrops – More ICO listings and they have a “hype” rating
Bitcointalk – Probably the biggest crypto community, lots of Bitcoin old timers who have seen it all
OnChainFX – A better version of coin market cap, has all sort of columns and you can add flags. Also I like their market segmentation filters.
CoinGecko – includes useful information about crypto like the breakdown volume by fiat currency, social media stats, code repository stats..etc
TradingView – the best charting site that I use for stocks, however it has plenty of major cryptos
CoinMarketCap – Useful for scanning the market, and finding the blockchain explorer and official website for each individual crypto. Their API is also quite useful for Excel based analysis.
ICOBench – Another ICO tracker which does nice summaries, shows teams, milestones, financials and gives a rating for each IC
Crypto Investor – A background in finance gives Crypto Investor a much more nuanced approach, and he is very insightful in terms of investor behavioral psychology. Listening to his negativity and criticism of parabolic price action in a sea of lambo chasing is refreshing.
CoinMastery – Carter Thomas takes on a rational mid-term to long term approach to investing in crypto, and has been a voice of reason many times.
IvanOnTech – Brings a programmers perspective, goes through the Github and explains many programming issues with blockchains.
