Step 4: Start with small amounts in Bitcoin or Ethereum. Step 5: Enable 2FA for security. Step 6: Track your portfolio and taxes on CryptoSyntix.
A crypto wallet stores your private keys — the password to your crypto. Hot wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet) are connected to internet — easy to use but less secure. Cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor) are offline hardware devices — most secure for large holdings. For beginners, exchange wallets (CoinDCX, WazirX) are fine for small amounts.
DeFi replaces banks with smart contracts on blockchains like Ethereum. You can lend, borrow, trade, and earn yield without any bank or middleman. Total DeFi market TVL exceeded $100 billion in 2026. Risks include smart contract bugs, impermanent loss in liquidity pools, and rug pulls.
Buying Bitcoin on regulated Indian exchanges (CoinDCX, WazirX, Zebpay — all FIU-India registered) is legal and relatively safe. Platform risk: exchanges can be hacked — for large holdings, use hardware wallets. Price risk: Bitcoin can fall 50–80% in bear markets. Never invest borrowed money.
You can start with as little as ₹100 on most Indian exchanges. Fractional purchases mean you can own 0.000001 BTC. Most experts recommend starting with ₹1,000–5,000 to learn the mechanics, then increasing gradually via monthly SIP-style investments (called dollar-cost averaging or DCA).
