Understand what the 'crypto world' really is

The crypto world is not just about buying Bitcoin, it actually consists of several sectors:

Spot directly buys and sells cryptocurrencies (like BTC, ETH) ⭐(low)

Futures use leverage to go long or short (high risk, high reward) 🔥(very high)

DeFi decentralized finance (staking, lending, mining on-chain) ⚠️(medium-high)

NFT digital art, avatar collectibles ⚠️(medium-high)

Airdrops/mining/project investment participate in new projects to earn tokens ❗(high risk)

👉 Conclusion:

Beginners must start with 'spot trading', first understand market logic and asset management, then gradually expand.

📚 2. Learn basic knowledge (don't rush to deposit)

It's recommended to spend 3–5 days understanding the following concepts:

What is blockchain?

Simply put: a decentralized public ledger.

What are Bitcoin and Ethereum?

Bitcoin is digital gold;

Ethereum is the 'operating system' of the blockchain world.

What is a wallet?

A wallet is your 'bank account' for storing coins, divided into:

Centralized wallets (exchanges)

Decentralized wallets (like MetaMask, OKX Wallet)

Understand the risks:

There are no guaranteed returns in the crypto world;

There are many scams

Never listen to those who say 'guaranteed profits' or 'guaranteed returns on trades'.

🏦 3. Choose a safe exchange

Beginners are recommended to start with these mainstream platforms:

Binance

MEXC

OKX

Coinbase (user-friendly English interface)

📌 Recommendation:

Register → Complete KYC → Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

Don't click random links or add strangers to groups.

💰 4. Start practicing with small amounts

You can start with a small amount (for example, $50–100) and learn the following steps:

Buy USDT (stablecoin)

Use USDT to buy mainstream coins (BTC, ETH)

Learn to observe market trends and understand 'price movement logic'

Practice 'spot trading' first; don't touch 'futures'

💡 Always remember one thing:

"First learn not to lose money, then consider making money."

5. Continuous learning and judgment

The crypto world changes fast; information asymmetry is opportunity. You can

Follow professional content (like CoinMarketCap, DeFilama)

Watch analysts or KOL explanations (don't blindly trust; verify)

Develop the habit of reading charts (understand trends, support, resistance)

6. Psychological and safety advice

Don't borrow money to enter the market

Don't heavily invest in a single coin

Don't frequently switch coins or chase price spikes

Set stop-loss and take-profit orders

Stay rational; don't be greedy or fearful
