welcome to top crypto today i'll be showing you how to get an account set up on coinbase
how to actually start trading cryptocurrencies and on whole overview of the coinbase website
before i get started though i'm not a financial advisor this video is just for education and
entertainment purposes only so please do your own research now let's dive into it so coinbase
is basically a large cryptocurrency exchange where you can buy and sell cryptocurrencies
we have some of the largest cryptocurrencies on here such as bitcoin ethereum solana cardano xrp
so they have all the charts over here as well as the volume for each of these coins the market cap
and the trading supply for example here we see the bitcoin price chart and as we can see the price is
fluctuating back and forth and uh this is the all time for the year how the chart was looking like
what the price was going up or down you can see the month how it was going over in the past month
or week or day or the even the last hour so down here they have some market stats as well about the
cryptocurrency coin in this case it's bitcoin and as well as a little about the coin so some summary
some information and details about the actual history of bitcoin and what it actually does
itself now if you'd like to actually buy bitcoin or any of these cryptocurrencies you will actually
have to make an account so you'll have to go through and create your own account so let's
go ahead together and do that right now you want to fill in your first name your last name an email
you'd like to use and as well as a strong password then you want to check off the box i am certified
that i am 18 years of age or older and you agree to the terms and then you can create an account to
the next step an email will then be sent to your email inbox and you can go in and click on it
and uh get the link to get started and verify that your account is indeed active once you've actually
verified your email then you can actually get to the next step which is setting up a
two-step verification so you wanna put in whatever country you are in and then you actually want to
put in your phone number and then a code will actually be sent to your phone number you'll be
able to see it as a text and then put in the code once you have it you'll then get directed to this
page where you can add the code that you put in for your phone number you then have to verify your
identity putting in all this information uh for your showing that you are a citizen of the country
you selected once you verified your info you then want to put in how much cryptocurrency you expect
to trade for the year and as well as what industry you're working currently you'll be then asked to
add a document to verify your identity and then once you add that document a photo of it it could
be your driver's license or a passport or whatnot so once you upload that then it will verify it and
it'll let you know if it is verified your identity so once you have your account ready you should be
able to log in and uh the first thing you'll be able to see is the home page which includes
the prices so like i mentioned earlier all the prices are listed over here for all the different
cryptocurrencies you can see new listings top gainers tradable the gators which being the top
