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
