Guide to useful site (Coingecko)

There are literally thousands of Cryptocurrencies in this world, more are being minted every single day, or even hours etc. This very confusing for people who have just started in Cryptocurrency, let me introduce a good site for you to start with:
https://www.coingecko.com/

Most of the coins are listed in this site (with exception of the new coins that are recently created, it may take sometime to be tracked by them). In this site, you can do various things

1. Find the type of coins that you are interested to learn via filter/category.
2. Find out the various metric of the coins, example, Market Cap, Website, Explorers, Community, chart etc.
3. Learn where to buy and sell specific coins.
4. Find out which blockchains that coins is/are in/using.
5. Create an account and add your favorite coins. Set price alert.

1. Find the type of coins that you are interested to learn via filter/category.

For example, you wish to learn about Stablecoins. Click “All Categories”, then search for “Stable”. After which, click “Stablecoins”. You will be able to see all the Stablecoins that are listed.

2. Find out the various metric of the coins, example, Market Cap, Website, Explorers, Community, chart etc.

For example you want to learn about Bitcoin. Just click “Bitcoin” in the main page. You will be able to see everything that you wish to know.

3. Learn where to buy and sell specific coins.

This is slightly trickier. First find the coin you want to trade -> click the coin and you will be direct to the page that show more information about the coin -> scroll all the way to the bottom and you should see something like the picture below. Under the “Pair” column, these are the common pairs which you can trade and at which place to trade -> click the pair that you wish to find out more, example “BTC/USDT” at Binance, you will be directed to the respective sites to trade.

4. Find out which blockchains that coins is/are in/using.

For example, you may have heard of Luna and want to find out which blockchain this ocin is using.

First find the coin you want to trade -> click the coin (example luna) and you will be direct to the page that show more information about the coin -> scroll all the way to the right and you should see something like the picture below. Under the “Explorer” column, it will show you “Terra”. Hence, Luna is in Terra blockchain.

(For those who are slightly more advance, you can click and go to Terra explorer, input your wallet address and you can see all your transactions. Everything in blockchains are recorded!)

5. Create an account and add your favorite coins. Set price alert.

This is the most straightforward. Click the “Signup” at top right of the page and create account. You can also download the app and set your price alerts for your favorite coins!
