12:36[00:02] seen till date about the beginning of crypto. So watch this video very carefully because in the last two months, in all the events that I have attended, many people have asked me this question that Priyank Bhai, we also
[00:17] want to invest in crypto. But I don't understand how to do it? Why do it ? No specific reason can be found. What is the future of crypto? When all these
[00:29] questions came to me, I thought that nowadays everyone knows that Bitcoin is digital gold. Everyone is talking about blockchain technology today and cryptocurrency could be the technology of the future. But
[00:44] even after that, some such questions remain in the minds of people. Does Bitcoin really have a future ? Does crypto really have a future ? And how to start? Today I am going to talk about all these topics. From a new direction, with a new thinking and
[00:58] something different, today I will try to explain to you why you should do crypto, if you should do it then which ones should do it so that you can decide because most of the people know the stock market but do not know the crypto market.
[01:14] So today I will start explaining to you guys how to do it, why to do it and whether you should do it or not if you are looking to start crypto.
[01:32] and Bitcoin is invented. Bitcoin, which people start calling digital gold. Blockchain technology which is called the technology of the future. Cryptography which was going to create a new financial system.
[01:47] financial system. It begins. Until 2017, most people did not know what cryptocurrency was. But in 2017, Bitcoin started making headlines as the first bull run occurred and within just 6 months, the
[02:01] price of Bitcoin went from $3000 to $2000. It made so many headlines that many people started to realize that cryptocurrency was a thing. After that, RBI banned many rules and regulations several times, then the Supreme Court said that you cannot ban it.
[02:17] Many times the Government of India said that we will not support this and today from 2022 onwards the Government of India says that you should pay tax to us on the income you earn in crypto. That means it is completely legal. However,
[02:32] if we talk about crypto trading, it is not regulated at present. But you can buy it , hold it, trade it , sell it or even make or lose profit or loss from it. So the
[02:46] first question that comes to the mind of a normal person regarding crypto currency is , why should I do crypto ? Let me explain this thing to you first.
[02:58] For this, I have written some points here on the screen which I will explain to you so that you will understand whether you should do crypto or not, you will be able to find the answer to this and in a very different way. So the first thing is
[03:10] why should one start crypto trading. To understand this, first of all you should understand small capital friendly. Stock market was on everyone's lips 1 year ago. Everyone wanted to trade options from futures. Apart from investing, everyone thought
[03:25] that money was made in the short term. There came a time when there were so many people involved in options trading that the Government of India and the Finance Ministry had to come forward and ask SEBI to take such steps that options trading would reduce in India.
[03:39] Weekly expiry has been abolished. Earlier people used to very difficult to do and the initial capital has been increased. So you understand that
[03:51] you are a new person who neither knows about the stock market nor about crypto. You want to learn trading. You want to experiment whether the steps I learned in paper trading will want to experiment whether the steps I learned in paper trading will
[04:04] work in real trading? You may try it once by investing ₹2000 ₹5000, then you will definitely be able to do cash trading but you will not be able to trade options in the Indian stock market because the lot size
[04:17] of the index has become between 5 to 15 lakhs, so you will not be able to trade even a lot with that much capital of ₹5000 account, not allow it, so it becomes a little difficult for you to learn trading there, but crypto allows you today itself, there are FIU registered exchanges where you
[04:33] registered exchanges where you can experiment with ₹1000 ₹2000 ₹3000 to see whether what you have learnt works for you or not. So this means that if you want to get ahead in trading, it is comparatively cheaper for you to experiment,
[04:45] learn trading or practice in crypto today. So you can start with small capital. The second thing is global crypto options. You must have heard Mr. Trump say many times that I support crypto. I
[05:00] understand the future of crypto. I want the US to be number one in crypto. Dubai, in which many startups related to crypto are running today and many startups are moving forward towards becoming big companies of the future. So the
[05:14] adoption of that crypto is happening at a globalization level. That's where crypto ETFs come in today. Yes, exchange traded funds are here. Where today big institutions are bringing their future funding hedge funds into crypto.
[05:28] So you should understand whether you should try this industry for your future or not. But the most important thing I am going to tell you, which might change your perspective, is global tokenization.
[05:41] Some time ago, a speech by Raghav Chadha went viral on social media. Where it was being discussed that tokenization can be done through crypto. He talked about insurance , subsidies, government schemes and many other
[05:54] He even said that tokenization can be done for real estate. The way inflation is increasing. For example, today in Mumbai, an average man has to work for 40 years to earn a house. If he holds his breath and saves his salary for 40 years, then he can get a 2
[06:10] BHK. So, amidst so much inflation, tokenization can be its solution. But I will also give you a different view of that tokenization. Nowadays, you can trade gold, silver, crude oil, even US stocks futures on crypto exchanges.
[06:25] oil, even US stocks futures on crypto exchanges. That too somewhere. See its most recent example. Spcex whose IPO was
[06:40] on crypto exchanges 1 month in advance. Now imagine that today you
[06:56] without owning them, by making them the underlying asset and exposure in India. In the last two years, lakhs of entrepreneurs,
[07:11] years, lakhs of entrepreneurs, traders and influencers have moved to Dubai. This is because they did not have global access in India. But crypto currency solves this problem today. And today you can trade in US Stocks Futures sitting anywhere in India, be it a village or a city.
[07:25] And today you can trade in US Stocks Futures sitting anywhere in India, be it a village or a city. we could not trade in India, on their tokens and on their tokens and
[07:41] sitting at home in a completely legal manner. So understand global tokenization that some time from today, you will be
[07:54] able to trade stocks of any country in tokenized form from anywhere globally in a completely legal manner. This feature also gives you crypto currency. Apart from this, I will not talk about the higher growth potential which I told you about, which is related to the industry. It is
[08:08] about technology. Trading Diversification: Today you all know the chapter on diversification. Diversification is not needed in today's time. It is compulsory in today's time. not needed in today's time. It is compulsory in today's time.
[08:22] look at the Indian stock market, which reached its all-time high a year ago. At the same time, the US market has been continuously making all-time highs in the last 3 months. Diversification Apart from this, 247 trading facility, you know that crypto works 247.
[08:38] What is the biggest problem while learning the Indian stock market ? Market gap up gap down. If news comes that the war has started then the gap will go down. If news comes that the war has stopped then the gap will be up. And
[08:55] Better leverage and flexibility. If you look at the Indian stock market today, the fixed there, due to which risk management becomes very difficult. But crypto exchanges allow you to select your leverage on your position.
[09:10] Which means you can Apart from this, you will see the next positions you can hold overnight. There
[09:23] can do scalping. Can swing. There is no concept of expiry if you trade futures contracts because in crypto you get to trade by doing perpetual contracts. Perpetual means continuous contracts which do
[09:36] not expire and if you are an options trader then you also get the feature of daily expiry. This means that option contracts also expire daily. Lower trading fees have become the biggest problem in today's time.
[09:49] Sir STT has increased. GST is being imposed everywhere. Apart from this, there are transactions and brokerage. There are fees within crypto. Sometimes it feels a little too much. I absolutely agree. But at least there is a
[10:04] fixed fee and you already know how much the fee will be. Apart from this, full time job friendly, many times I meet people and say that sir I do a job , I do business, I am a student. I am not able to trade during the day time.
[10:17] I am not able to trade in the Indian stock market because I am crypto gives you the facility to trade in the 24-hour live trading market, you can trade at night, trade on weekends or trade on government holidays.
[10:31] So you get all these facilities. I hope after understanding all this you must have got many reasons and I tried to explain it to you in a different
[10:44] way. Now let's move on to the next question. The next question that comes to mind is how to start crypto ? Why? Because I said one word investing. Both are completely different things and have different perspectives. So let me
[11:00] help you a little, the first thing you have to decide is whether you want to do trading or investing. If you are not very skilled in trading. What if you do n't understand much about
[11:13] what goes on inside crypto? How is there volatility and the third important thing is that if you have less time then you should start with crypto investing. But if you trade in the stock market, have some experience in trading and
[11:26] want to try and learn, then you should start with crypto trading. Now start with spot trading here or move on to futures and options. This will completely depend on your skills. If you are completely new
[11:39] to trading then I would suggest you to start with spot trading. But keep in mind that when you do spot trading, you come under the laws of crypto taxation. Where you have to pay 30% tax on every profit you make.
[11:53] want to understand crypto taxation in detail, I have already made a video for it. You will find the video on my channel. Also, you have to keep in mind that if you are doing spot trading, then in case of
[12:09] that if you are doing spot trading, then in case of not set off. You will understand these things in detail in the taxation video. Let's talk about futures and options. So here you have to keep in mind
[12:23] that your taxation gets solved here. It becomes very easy. This has also been explained in that video. But the most important thing is that the 30% tax and 1% TDS is not applicable in futures and options. And here
[12:36] you can trade contracts. But keep in mind that both futures and options have leverage and to trade them you must have complete understanding of futures and options. Try it only if you know it. If you don't know then learn it. I have
[12:50] a separate playlist on my channel dedicated to options trading. By going there you can learn both these things. After this decide the capital. If your capital start with investing. Gradually start SIP type investing.
[13:04] Start ladder buying and learn to hold on with patience. But if your capital is sizable like 40,000, 50,000 or above and you want to experiment or trade then I will suggest you guys. You can then start trading
[13:18] your futures or options according to your capital investment decision. look there are many exchanges. There are some international exchanges also between Indians within India. All you have to keep in mind is that the most important thing is to
[13:32] follow some exchanges which are FIU registered. Like Condcx exchange. Inside the Kodcx exchange, you know that if any money laundering happens tomorrow, then you can complain or
[13:47] raise your voice against it. The second thing is that if you think about Coincx, it is running since 2018, then it is a 7, 8, 9 year old company in which you can trust. So choose any such FIU registered trusted exchange or you. Pick One Strategy to Trade in
[14:02] What is the most important thing in crypto? Repetition and practice. Why? Because the market operates 24 hours a day, you may develop the habit of overtrading. Therefore, follow your own specific strategy. Start trading only after the setup of that strategy is created
[14:15] so that you do not overtrade and you can correctly understand through a specific strategy whether crypto trading is for me or not. And the last thing is practice. Look, there is no alternative to practice.
[14:28] platform I am telling you about why I'm telling you about CoinDCx ? Because the first thing I have already told you is that if it is FIU registered then the confidence increases a little more.
[14:41] But keep in mind that having FIU registration does not mean that now I can go there and do anything and nothing can ever happen inside the company. See, any company, any platform, any exchange obviously works to survive
[14:54] and the best thing with Coin DCX exchange is that it has been working continuously for the last six to eight years. It has remained intact it has been working continuously for the last six to eight years. It has remained intact So there is a little more trust here. Secondly, FIO
[15:09] registration helps you in case you face any problem tomorrow, you can inform the government about it. You can complain. You get all these facilities by having FIU registration. But the biggest thing is that it is
[15:22] trusted by 2 crore plus users. Today, CoinDCx has the highest number of users registered in India. And if I talk volume wise, then today the crypto that is being traded the most
[15:36] on any Indian exchange in India is Coindix. So here you are getting this also. Along with this you will see instant deposit and withdrawal. This means you can also tried withdrawal. I have also tried depositing it. And I would suggest you guys that if you
[15:50] try any exchange then process is. Everything is available within IAR pairs. Everything word means whatever you need related to crypto or whatever is legal in India to trade
[16:04] , keep, hold, all that is available to you. Here you can hold a spot. You can buy any coin and keep it. And then what's the best thing is that they also have proof of reserve. There is a third party audit to find out
[16:18] how many holdings they have. Everything is publicly available. With this you can make deposits. Through UPI Through IMPS NEFT RTGS. Withdrawal also comes into your bank account. There is 247 customer support. All three
[16:32] types of trading are available: Sports Futures Options. And currently the offer is also going on. Your fees for options trading here are zero. Zero means you will not be charged any brokerage. If you want to experiment with options trading,
[16:45] I would suggest you to go to CoinDCx. Because the trading fees are currently at the time I am shooting this video. It is zero. This is a big thing. Ok? They claim to have the lowest fees and most importantly, a beginner trading friendly terminal.
[16:59] need a terminal where they can get everything together. They have built such a terminal and are continuously making improvements in it. So according to me you guys can try Coindix. I have also tried Coindex.
[17:13] I also trade on Coindix. If you want to can also do so directly. But I would suggest you to make it from my referral link which is in the description. The link in the description will give you the benefit of 20% off fees
[17:28] futures trading you do, you will get 20% off on the brokerage. create an account through referral link. If you make it directly then you will not get this offer. The
[17:40] rest of the account will be yours. So the link is in both the description and the pin comment. Take it from there. But I have tried to answer all these three questions in today's video. You guys must tell me by commenting whether you
[17:53] got the answers to all three questions or not? Is there any question left that you guys wanted to know in the initial days? Is there any question left that you guys want to know about? And some people asked me another question which

How you can trade whatever it is. But I hope that today I will be able to answer the questions that most of the people had.
