With all due respect, isn't "posting twice in a row" is against the rules of the forum, I've been told about it:

Quote

(..snip..) and please refrain from posting twice in a row, you should edit your first post, ask your question there and then delete the second post, in fact if I am not mistaken , what you just did is against the forum rules.

This guide was first posted in the Romanian section: here but I decided that much more users can benefit from it so I translated it in English.

I'm going to start by posting a glossary of terms first, it will take something to translate everything from the original post because I have a lot of work to do besides that and I'm quite lazy as a person. Here you go :

AML  – Anti-Money Laundering.
ATH  - All-Time High
Bearish - Downward Trend
BFX, Finex – BitFinex exchange-
Bullish - Upward Trend

Core wallet - a wallet that contains the blockchain

Fiat – money without intrinsic value that is issued and regulated by a government. Example: $, £, ¥, € Fib - Fibonacci retracement
FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out.

Halving/halving – The reward for miners decreases. It happens 1 time every 4 years at Bitcoin.
Hoobi – Huobi Exchange
HODL / HOLD – basically long-term investing. Only used sometimes in comments: Hold On Despite Loss

Public key – the key which you can share when you need to receive a payment (you can share this key with anyone)
