I'm Glen Goodman, an investor and former TV Business Correspondent. I was employed by ITN and the BBC, Britain's largest news broadcasters. Life was good, I got to cover big breaking news stories and look all smart & serious on the telly (see smart photo). So why did I give it all up? Because I was fired. No not really, I quit because my investing hobby had been generating a decent annual income for quite a while so I no longer needed to have a job and quite frankly investing is super-fun.​

 

I've been investing for two decades and like most novices I made some costly mistakes in the early years. But unlike most novices, I stuck with it, read several shelf-fulls of books & articles, and started making good money. I wrote for The Times (of London) about my not-entirely-wise early experiences - you can click on the article for the full story.

​

Since those wild trading days, I've learned to make money in a more steady, consistent fashion. Buying promising investments and holding the winners for significant lengths of time is the simplest, least time-consuming and most effective way for non-finance-professionals to make real money and even earn a proper living from the markets.

​

It sounds simple in theory, but actually putting it into practice successfully year after year without taking too much risk is a very careful balancing act. To master all the key elements, I had to pull together centuries of ideas from market masters, some still well-known and some out-of-print and fiendishly hard to get hold of.

​

So why am I prepared to share all my secrets in The Crypto Trader? Because they're not secrets. It's the combined wisdom of many of the best investors, boiled down into a system that works for me and I hope it works for you too. The more successful small investors there are, the less power the professional fund managers and bankers have over us. And if you are actually a top banker, please go away, you've got enough money already.

 

Subscribe below and I'll keep you in the loop with my latest ideas. (And don't forget to buy the book. It'll teach you everything you need to know about making money trading crypto.)

Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Book Updates

These are some of the major crypto exchanges I'm currently using in my own trading. As an independent trader, I have no partnership with any of them, and receive no compensation for mentioning them. I'm just keeping readers of The Crypto Trader up to date with my activities. And if you haven't bought The Crypto Trader then close your eyes for this part because you haven't earned it ;)

Based in the U.S., Coinbase is subject to government regulation and has millions of customers. Clients' money is kept separate from the company's own money, so in theory, even if the company went bankrupt, customers' money would (hopefully!) still be safe.

​

To be extra-safe, many traders follow the instructions in my book to withdraw any crypto they buy from Coinbase to their own private crypto wallet.

Established in 2011, Kraken is one of the oldest and largest crypto exchanges. Like Coinbase, it’s based in the U.S. which imposes some regulations to protect customers. It also abides by regulations in the UK, the EU and Australia. In the crypto industry, Coinbase and Kraken are often considered the most respectable and secure crypto exchanges. But again, it's worth stressing that the safest way to store crypto after you've bought it is in your own private crypto wallet.
