and if you want to invest or trade, I would suggest you to open a eToro account and use the demo/virtual trading mode for 2 months, then if you feel courageous, go for it :)

It is a good thing that you are only new to crypto and has a lot of learn from it. It is better to start here because everything is cheap.

1- Don't believe anyone but yourself

2- Secure your wallet with hardware wallet Ledger Nano S (which is the safest)

3- In exchanges use Google autenticator, sms messaging for security

4- Keep away from ICO's, there are no good ICO's left anymore in these days

5- Make your own strategy and never get panic when the market goes down

As a potential investors or trader, look out for basic videos online and informative articles on bitcoin, and nsume as much knowledge as possible, and from different sources as well, to avoid sharing the sentiments of some other person.

In this forum, look out for sticky threads.
Det acquainted with the rules and guidelines.
The beginners' and help board is a good place to start.

The thing you need to consider when you are just entering or getting to know bitcoin and this forum is to learn the background and purpose. And often to take the time to read with the hope to add insight and also your own knowledge.
1. Believe in yourself or your goals.
2. Passion and don't despair.
and 3. Always pay attention to new news with the aim of seeing updates or reading conditions about cryptocurrency (if you want to trade)
Goodluck.

all you have to do is trust yourself, maybe you can read more news about bitcoin, if you are a beginner, cryptocurency is very dangerous, many people are eyeing your balance, maybe you can secure your private key and password

There's a lot of resources out there that give information about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology but few give real value. Start by Andreas Antonopoulos videos/articles or books that you want to learn about crypto or you can join some social media communities like Crypto Australia or Self Love Sisters: Love & Money. You can join meetups about crypto with like-minded people as it held on some part of Australia once a month. :)

In my opinion if you are a beginner you must know about crypto knowledge first, don't let you just use it without knowing the benefits and risks that will occur. There are many fraudulent people who are very dangerous for beginners if they don't know it because it can make you big losses.

If you don't have much knowledge about bitcoin - you should try and find some courses or lessons where they explain everything from the very beginning. I am a newbie myself. Still looking for info and etc...

No one really pays attention to your age so long you are above 21 and also no one cares about your financial status it's sounds to me like a form of begging.

Well you can employ the use of google to search for books on basis or concise cryptocurrency knowledge it's important to know the basis this would help you have a standard foundation

Read these. Every single article in it: https://coindesk.com/information

Besides what everyone said already, avoid investing in anything you don't understand. Bitcoin and especially certain coins/tokens included.

If you'd have to ask people on what to invest, then investing is obviously not for you.

I found the tips in the lessons useful as well, though I didn't find any advice on how to choose a currency exchange. I am interested in withdrawing my fiat cash balance directly to my bank account. This platform https://www.getex.com/ (https://www.getex.com/) is going to have such an option, but is it really safe to use? What to pay attention to at first?
