The recent rise of bitcoin up to $40,000 showed skeptics continue to underestimate the prospects of cryptocurrencies. In 2017, when bitcoin reached $19,000, I couldn’t believe that a set of numbers could be worth that kind of money. This time I decided not to miss the chance and make money on the most rapidly developing sphere of the 21st century.

Crypto Camp Course by Top Traders Academy
A good paid course that professionally reveals all the aspects necessary for trading.
It consists of eight recorded video lessons:
- Basic concepts and phases of the market.
- Cryptocurrency exchanges and tradingview tutorials.
- TA timeframes, trends, periods of consolidation.
- TA levels, active zones, figures, rules and trading strategies.
- TA candlestick analysis.
- TA moving averages. Defining the trend and phase of the coin.
- Risk management.
- Trading strategy (course summary).
The lessons are taught by Daniyar Daka, a professional trader and publicist. Unfortunately, the course costs decent money: from $500 up to $900. However, it does not provide any particularly unique information, in contrast to the same Nominex course.
One of the obvious shortcomings is the lack of a partner exchange where participants could train and hone their skills.

In general, the course is good as it provides comprehensive information. However, that kind of money is hardly worth it, because it will take a long time before you can recoup such investments in trading. In addition, there are competitors who have their own exchange and a nicer design. In short, the winner of the rating is obvious to me.
What to do after completing the course?
Well, first, it’s natural to rest a little. But seriously, cryptocurrencies are such a rapidly developing area that the main thing is not to stop. I remember these numbers well: 1BTC=$250. Then I could not believe that some set of numbers could have such a price. And now it’s already obvious: you need to learn how to trade while this area is at the very beginning of its journey.
