an awards system<\/a> to help simplify information for those just wanting to learn more about the currencies. <\/p>\nAccording to the review site, Crypto.com was rated the best exchange for beginners.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe awards were based on a range of criteria rather than someone or some people just picking. For example, Crypto.com scored highly because they have a good smartphone application, it\u2019s easy to use, good customer support and you can set up recurring payments,\u201d he told news.com.au.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother thing we wanted to do was only rank companies that are registered with AUSTRAC.\u201d<\/p>\n
Binance <\/b>won three awards, including Exchange for Features<\/i> and Exchange for Altcoins,<\/i> as well as the award for Australian cryptocurrency Exchange (Overall)<\/i>. <\/p>\n
Crypto.com<\/b> won the category \u2018Exchange for Beginner<\/i>s\u2019, while Kraken <\/b>won \u2018Exchange for Trading\u2019<\/i>. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile the award for \u2018Exchange for Value\u2019<\/i> went to Digital Surge<\/b>, with CoinJar <\/b>and Crypto.com<\/b> a close second.<\/p>\n
How to invest in cryptocurrency <\/b><\/p>\n
Mr Edwards recommends for those wanting to dip their toes into Crypto should try the dollar-cost averaging method as their investment strategy. <\/p>\n
This method theoretically helps prevent the massive highs and lows of the sometimes volatile coins. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo do this, you need to set aside a certain amount of money and invest it at the same time each week. For example, you pick a time on a Friday morning where you invest $50 into coins,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis helps take the emotion out of your investments, as it is just something you do each week. But it really just works in removing any timings related to the market, you\u2019re not chasing the lows.\u201d<\/p>\n
What cryptocurrency to invest in? <\/b><\/p>\n
With thousands, if not millions, of cryptocurrencies on the market, it can be intimidating to get started.<\/p>\n
The most popular coins are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and Binance which are all a solid starting point for your investments. <\/p>\n
Mr Edwards identified Ethereum as a popular first choice with many investors, after Bitcoin
<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cEthereum is good as it can be described as a layer of the internet, not just a currency. Ethereum is a popular first choice with many investors, after Bitcoin\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe next, or latest, version of the internet is called Web 3. This is going to be based on things like Eth. The Crypto is allowed to hold computer code and creates this hyper-secure layer which was previously very difficult on the internet. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe layer of security enables people to be confident with the finances and financial services.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added to be wary of things that are too good to be true. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor people just starting out, the best thing you can do is read and learn from reputable sources. What is really important is looking at who is providing the information and whether they are influencers or have something to gain from you buying their product,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Finder\u2019s head of consumer research, Graham Cooke, said Australia\u2019s enthusiasm for cryptocurrency has driven its growth. <\/p>\n
\u201cCryptocurrency awareness in Australia is among the highest in the world. 85 per cent of Aussies say they know what cryptocurrency is, much higher than countries like the United States (59 per cent) and the United Kingdom (55 per cent),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
It comes as \u2018meme coin\u2019 Shiba Inu rockets in value. <\/p>\n
The surge comes amid a broad recovery in crypto with Bitcoin\u2019s value going up to just under US$44,000 (A$61,000) and Ether\u2019s price now at US$3,100 (A$4300).<\/p>\n
SHIB tokens surged to $0.0000342 from the $0.000022 over the last day while Dogecoin jumped to $0.1661 from $0.145. Both SHIB and Dogecoin were based off popular internet memes. <\/p>\n
The move caused nearly $10 million in losses to liquidations for traders of SHIB-tracked futures products, according to Coin Desk.<\/p>\n
After becoming one of the dominant meme currencies of 2021, Shiba Inu\u2019s value had been on a downward trend for the most part since late October.<\/p>\n
On October 28 last year, Shiba hit an all-time high of $0.00008845.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
