Speculate on Rising Prices via Direct Purchase<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are currently two different ways you can speculate with cryptocoins. The first option is the so-called direct purchase. You can make the purchase of cryptocurrencies via the so-called cryptocoin exchanges<\/a>. These prices exist exclusively on the Internet and, in principle, function like stock exchanges. You can place an order on the cryptocoin exchange by specifying, for example, to buy 200 Ethereum. <\/p>\n

You must of course pay the equivalent value of the respective transaction, for example with Swiss francs or another currency. Sometimes it is also possible to exchange different digital currencies with each other on the cryptocoin exchange. However, a drawback with this speculation variant is that you cannot speculate on falling prices of certain cryptocurrencies with direct trading. So far, you cannot go short on cryptocoin exchanges, i.e. you cannot carry out short sales. However, this would be a prerequisite if you wanted to speculate on falling prices. <\/p>\n
