As a newbie I can't argue that much but I still think there are similarities in basics. I have read a book for fore beginners and i started to understand what is going on. Of course that doesnt mean i know how to trade at all, but I think it gave me knowledge, to begin with.
In practice, they are difference but you started well as you said. Technically, in cryptocurrency tradings, technical analyses do not help much, in particular for altcoins. Instead of technical analyses, you should stick with fundamental analyses.
Another reminder is that you should start to trade with very minor part of your capital. Why? I am sure that most of starters will lose most or all of their capital in their very first months, first one or two years so beginning with very minor part of your capital will give you second, third, fourth chances to trade & learn & grow up. If you start to trade will all capital, you will lose all with your 'first' trading mistake.
