Be prepared to invest in a down market and to “get out” in a soaring market, as per the philosophy of Warren Buffett.

Investing is like oxygen, it's a necessity rather than a luxury, without a good quality investment, your financial freedom dies over time in the same way as you die in the absence of oxygen. Thus to grow your wealth and achieve financial independence in the long run, investing in good quality assets is a must. As we all know that if one wishes to buy something there has to be someone present, willing to sell the same thing. Therefore to facilitate this transaction there exist exchanges, whose primary job is to get buyers & sellers on the same platform so that the transfer of assets can be carried out. In the case of the Stock Market, there are a number of exchanges that are present today like Zerodha, Upstox, Sharekhan, HDFC Securities, etc. Just like the Stock market, the crypto market also has a number of exchanges to facilitate the exchange/trading of crypto assets.
