Select your payment method
Cryptocurrency is digital money, a virtual investment asset and a modern means of payment, the functionality of which is usually based on a distributed accounting system. Most cryptocurrencies are decentralized, which means that they are not managed by any state, central bank or any financial institution. The operation of cryptocurrencies is most often based on blockchain technology and advanced cryptographic solutions. Thus, according to some, cryptocurrencies are synonymous with a modern approach to finance.
The most popular cryptocurrency is bitcoin. However, there are over 10,000 different cryptocurrencies on the market, which represent different visions of the future, different philosophies and completely different functionalities. Not every cryptocurrency is based on a traditional distributed, or decentralized, accounting system - like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
On the cryptocurrency market, we also have projects such as IOTA, which, instead of Blockchain, base their functionality on DAG, i.e. Directed Acyclic Graph. While the Blockchain of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin has nodes that verify user transactions, IOTA and its DAG presented a completely different functionality - each new transaction must confirm the two previous transactions.
The mentioned solution has the potential for enormous scalability - once the DAG technology is mastered by developers, it is highly probable that cryptocurrencies based on this solution will be able to surpass the functionality of VISA cards, which can handle up to 65,000 transactions per second.

You already know that one of the uses of cryptocurrencies is payments. You've probably heard somewhere that cryptocurrencies offer instant, anonymous and safe transactions that take the same amount of time, regardless of the distance between wallets, directly between them without any intermediaries.
This all sounds perfect. However, blockchain technology has its drawbacks.
When the mentioned VISA supports as many as 65,000 transactions per second (TPS - transactions per second), Bitcoin will support a maximum of 7 TPS.
Ethereum? Not much better - 45 TPS.
The best performer at this point is Ripple, which, depending on the data, can handle up to 1,500 TPS.
Cryptocurrencies will certainly dominate the payment sector, but we will have to wait for that. The most likely solution will be DAG and scalability with the number of transactions on the network, which, for example, IOTA offers.
Bitcoin was created as a prototype. Its creator, still anonymous, Satoshi Nakamoto, did not expect such mass adoption. Due to the fact that the first cryptocurrencies were only intended to show an innovative approach and not scalability, they remain unscalable to this day. Currently, the low bandwidth of blockchain networks such as bitcoin or ethereum means that the cost of transactions on these networks often exceeds $20. Fortunately, there are more and more blockchain projects such as Polygon or Solana, which are more efficient due to their architecture.

Each of these projects has its own huge community and international recognition. If you treat our platform as the so-called on-ramp and you want to be anonymous, remember that in EGERA bitcoin machines you will also find leading stablecoins:
If you are a beginner investor, choose a conservative portfolio. Altcoins such as Dogecoin can grow significantly during a bull market, but they lose the most during a bear market. Basing the portfolio mainly on Bitcoin and Ethereum seems to make the most sense.
Every cryptocurrency has its use. Bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that started it all. Many people started their adventure with it and still keep it in their wallet to this day. Bitcoin, as the currency with the largest capitalization, also stabilizes the entire market.
Ethereum was created as a development of bitcoin. Its creator was guided by the idea that cryptocurrency can not only be a carrier of value, but also its creator. The first smart contracts were created on Ethereum, including tokens, which became separate assets. Ethereum, as the first blockchain 2.0 cryptocurrency, became the progenitor of current blockchains such as Solana, Polygon and Polkadot.
When creating a wallet, also pay attention to stable coins. Their graph is an endless parallel line. Their purpose is to reflect the exchange rate of the dollar or other fiat currency. They were created to increase cryptocurrency adoption by simplifying calculations. Now you know much faster whether you have earned in relation to the dollar or whether your earnings are only caused by the decline in the value of bitcoin relative to the currency you bought. A stable coin can be a great investment of capital "outside the system", which will allow you to buy other cryptocurrencies on declines and realize profits without going to traditional national currencies.

Types of cryptocurrency wallets
There are many classifications of wallets. At first, you may get lost between hot, cold, physical, paper, online, etc. However, security should be at the core of your wallet. Remember that a secure wallet is one for which only you have the private key and the recovery seed. However, there are situations in which you do not have such elements, and yet your cryptocurrencies remain relatively safe. We are talking about wallets on stock exchanges.

Without a doubt, the most convenient form of storing funds is to keep them on a cryptocurrency exchange, where we can sell them at any time. Storing funds on the exchange also allows you to save small amounts needed to complete transactions between wallets. However, this does not change the fact that no exchange will provide you with private keys to wallets, so the security of your funds is valid as long as the platform exists.
Is it safe to keep funds on the stock exchange?
The function of the stock exchange is trading, i.e. exchange of cryptocurrencies. In theory, wallet systems on exchanges were not designed to store cryptocurrencies long-term. This does not change the fact that cryptocurrencies on the stock exchange are safe as long as the stock exchange exists. Remember, however, that if you keep a larger sum of cryptocurrencies and do not intend to cash them in quickly, it is worth considering transferring them to a private cryptocurrency wallet.
The wallet you have control over - how to choose?
As we mentioned above, the wallet you control is the one for which you have the seed and private key. There are many wallets on the market to choose from. Basically, there are 3 types of wallets:
Everyone started somewhere. Cryptocurrencies are a great market, but there are several risks for inexperienced investors. In addition to poorly secured funds in your wallet, you can also lose funds on the stock exchange itself. Check how to deal with this.
Sometimes you make decisions impulsively. However, the cryptocurrency market, like any other, rewards a cool analysis of facts. Always calculate both purchases and sales. Sometimes a sparrow in the hand is better than a pigeon on the roof, and a profit of 300% is better than a correction of 90% the next day.
When the market is green, it is easy to be tempted to search for the most lucrative cryptocurrencies. However, remember to invest in cryptocurrencies mainly based on fundamental analysis. A project with foundations, even after major corrections, has a chance to turn out to be profitable. The same cannot be said about projects done in advance "for money".
Before you start investing, always answer a few questions. The basic ones include:
Think carefully about the answers to these questions and calculate them. Then write them down on a piece of paper and come back to it as often as you want to make an ill-considered decision on the market. Remember that the stock market is mainly a game of emotions and there are people just like you in front of you. May the force be with you!
Cryptocurrencies are a specific instrument. This is due to the fact that, unlike shares, they are listed on many markets at the same time. The exchange rate between exchanges may vary for various reasons, including: political or economic situation of the region where a given stock exchange operates. It is best to check the cryptocurrency rate on a given exchange. Some platforms have dedicated subpages for analyzing courses
Nowadays, purchasing anonymous cryptocurrencies is almost impossible. However, we at EGERA make miracles happen! From October 2023, we have put Bitomats at your disposal. Here you can complete transactions completely anonymously, up to PLN 4,500.
