1. What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are encrypted digital assets that operate via blockchain technology, which is a decentralized network that records transactions without the need for an intermediary (like banks).

2. Types of trading in cryptocurrencies.
There are several methods, each suited to your level of experience and goals:
1. Spot Trading.
Buy and sell currencies directly.
Example: You buy 1 BTC at $30,000 and sell at $32,000.
Profit = Price difference.
2. Margin Trading.
Use borrowed funds from the platform to increase your trading volume.
Dangerous for beginners as it amplifies losses just as it amplifies profits.
3. Futures Contracts.
Betting on the rise or fall of a currency without actually owning it.
You can profit even if the price is down (Short), but the risk is very high.
4. Scalping.
Very quick trades (minutes or seconds) aimed at profiting from small price movements.
