Ab zyada regulated hai.
US/EU mein strict rules (jaise taxes report karna mandatory),
scams kam hue hain lekin abhi bhi bohot hain.
Focus long-term pe, quick rich nahi.
Sabse pehle samajh lo yeh 3 cheezein (must for beginners):
Blockchain kya hai?
Yeh ek digital record book hai jo har transaction ko save karta hai, tamper-proof (koi change nahi kar sakta). Jaise ek public Google Sheet jo sab dekh sakte hain lekin edit sirf rules se hota hai. Bitcoin ne shuru kiya, Ethereum ne smart contracts add kiye.
Wallet types (sabse important security):
Custodial (easy but risky): Exchange pe jaise Binance ya Coinbase – woh tumhari keys hold karte hain. Hack ho jaye to paise gaye.
Non-custodial (recommended): MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger (hardware) – tumhare paas seed phrase (12-24 words). Not your keys, not your crypto.
Beginners ke liye: Trust Wallet se start karo mobile pe, testnet pe practice karo.
Main coins jo samajh lo pehle:
Bitcoin (BTC): Digital gold, store of value. Sabse safe long-term.
Ethereum (ETH): Apps, DeFi, NFTs waghera ke liye.
Stablecoins (USDT/USDC): Dollar jaisa stable, trading ke liye use karo volatility se bachne ke liye.
Beginner mistakes avoid karo (real 2026 advice):
Sirf utna invest karo jo lose karne pe royega nahi.
Exchange pe mat chhodo zyada time – withdraw to personal wallet.
Koi "double your money" ya DM se free airdrop wala scam mat maan'na.
DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) karo: Har mahine thoda thoda buy karo, price crash pe zyada.
