There a lot of "coins" jumping on the bandwagon and claiming to be cryptocutrencies. This is my tip on how to avoid such scams
THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVICE: Just sharing exactly what I am doing to build my Crypto portfolio.
To get a list of true Cryptocurrencies visit www.coinmarketcap.com, then pick a coin you like, click on it, visit their website, do your research, lots of great videos on youtube to help, you. Click on Markets tab to see a list of different exchanges when you can obtain the coin. Sign up, buy your coins, hold them for future appreciation on price (in a secure wallet) or trade them. Time your trading. Buy when price is low and sell when price is high. THIS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVISER or PROFESSIONAL TRADER. This is provided for information purposes only. Hope this helps
