It covers other cryptocurrencies as well which is why it’s pretty handy. The virtual market is filled with other players that will be the competition you’ll face later when you’re trading for real.
In addition to this, you’ll get tools that will help you analyze the market. These analyses will help you make important decisions when trading. Once you’ve amped up your skills you can take part in one of the many competitions the app has to offer.
