Cryptocurrency market
Thanks to blockchain technology, a large number of new types of assets — cryptocurrency — have appeared on the market: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum etc. These assets are decentralized digital currencies, each of which allows their owners to carry out transactions between wallets. There are cryptocurrency exchanges based on market economy principles for the exchange of various cryptocurrencies. Many exchanges, such as Bittrex, Kraken, Bitfinex, Hitbtc, offer their users the ability to trade a large number of cryptocurrency pairs, which enables traders to use different trading strategies and generate profit from rate changes. More and more traders have done it successfully, showing a stable and high yield that reaches hundreds or even thousands of percent per year. For example, the Alternative Money Fund, in 2017 has achieved a gain of more than 3,000%, and the Blue Magic Capital Fund went up more than 10,000% The modern market of cryptocurrencies is highly volatile. On the one hand, it enables successful traders to achieve very high yields. On the other hand, it brings great risks to all market participants, and especially to beginners. Unlike traditional exchanges such as Forex, in cryptocurrency trading, one can easily lose a significant portion of their assets in one day, even without leverage.
