Very well said. I think you have made a summary here, in the first three paragraphs, of the answers that newbies need to know upon entering and joining this forum. The keywords are there — ask, read, and learn. On point!
Bottom line is crypto is not for the weak, you need to be strong and do alot of research.
However, with regards to this part, I agree with what some members here said — you have to be weak first before you become strong. I mean, isn't that the case for almost everything? Think about it, every expert were once beginners. They were once weak, needed help and assistance from others, but they learned along the way. It didn't happen overnight. It takes time to become strong in anything.
No one comes out strong the first try. Being weak is part of it. But I get your point. If someone wants to last in this industry, in this community, then don't settle for being weak. Choose to be better and choose to be strong.
