Description

Hello Everyone!

My name is Zac Hartley and I have been trading Crypto Currencies for about 2 years now. I started out in the Stock Market as a day trader but and now I have applied the same principles to cryptocurrency in order to test what works, what does not work, and what is the best strategy and knowledge that I can share with you in order to help you become successful.

We are going to start off with the basics and I am going to show you how to build a crypto portfolio as well as short term trade based on technical analysis. Here are the topics we will cover:

  • How does crypto work

  • Bitcoin and other popular coins

  • How to send/receive crypto

  • How to invest and build a portfolio

  • How to day trade or swing trade any crypto

  • How to stake your crypto for extra income

  • How to put it all together into a strategy

My goal is to keep things as simple as possible so that you understand how things work and how to use the different tools at your disposal.

I am looking forward to starting this journey with you and I hope you will choose to give this course a small piece of your time.

Best regards,

Zac
