You have ₹100 → You buy Bitcoin
The price rises → Your ₹100 becomes ₹120
👉 You make a profit
🔑 Most Popular Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin (BTC) → First and most well-known
Ethereum (ETH) → Used in apps and smart contracts

Buy when the price is low
Sell when the price is high
2. Trading (short-term)
Buy and sell instantly using charts
3. Holding (long-term)
Buy and hold for months/years
