Before buying cryptocurrencies

Do you want to start investing in cryptocurrencies? So you should know that buying cryptocurrencies is an easy thing these days. But before you buy them, pay attention to the following:

You need a Wallet to store your crypto safely. If you already have a TruBit account, you already have one.
Cryptocurrencies do not have a stable value in the market, so we recommend you see our charts to know when the value is low to buy.
In order to trade your coins, you need to pass TruBit's KYC verification processes, so don't forget that.
There are many Cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin, so you can research the pros and cons of each one to make the best decision on which one to invest in.
