The history of cryptocurrency
First of all, history is boring but as a crypto trader, you should know about its origin and development.
Crypto's first thought comes with electronic money as an eCash in 1983 from American cryptographer “David Chaum’’. Then in 1995, he implemented his thought through Digi-cash as an early form of cryptocurrency and invented software to make its electronic payments and withdraw from a bank.
Later in 1998, “Wei Dai’’ published a statement on b-money that he characterized as an anonymous distributed electronic cash system. After that, Nick Szabo narrated a bit of gold.
In 2009 an anonymous person "Satoshi Nakamoto", created a decentralized cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. After in 2011, Litecoin was released.

Simply CFD is a contract between investor and investment or spreads betting firm. Its derivative investments are enabling speculation on cryptocurrency price movement. But they don't ask for ownership of the underlying coins. It's not all, you can buy here if you think crypto will rise in value and you also can sell it if you think it will fall.
We’re not through yet, it's a leveraged product so to gain full exposure to the market you’ll need to put margin ( a small deposit). Leverage magnifies both profits and losses and your profit or loss is also calculated according to the full position.
Whenever you buy cryptocurrencies via an exchange, you purchase the coins themselves. You have to create an exchange account and keep the full value of the asset to open a position. You can store the cryptocurrency tokens in your own wallet until you’re ready to sell.
At first, you have to create an account with a crypto exchanger or broker. Then fund it with real money. Whenever you get your desired offer from an exchanger or broker you can step up for trade.

You can easily buy crypto coins. Suppose you are not able to buy a whole amount, they offer you to buy less than one crypto coin (infraction). For example, if the market price for a Bitcoin is £50,000 and you don't afford to buy, you can buy a fraction (only when you only have a small amount for investment).
How to buy cryptocurrency safely
Crypto exchanges are the easiest target of hackers. Often they attack Cryptocurrency. For this reason, you should be extra careful in choosing an exchange. Whenever you choose an exchange keep in mind that you should go through with a reputed, large, well-established, exchange. The main focus point here is security maintenance.
Point to be noted, you must check the trading costs and commissions because the platform charges on purchases and withdrawals. Also, remember that you can't hold cryptocurrencies in an ISA to avoid tax on any gains made from them.

You don’t refund your money in case of downfall or someone loots your crypto-cash. Moreover, some exchanges grant their insurance against hacks and security dissolution.
