How do I succeed as newbie.

Hi everyone,

As a newbie in crypto what are the things to do and not to do that will make me attain to the level of being confident and reliable on the decision I make.
Don't really know where to start but hopefully I will with your help.

Ideally you should try harder to learn and keep looking around what you want to achieve, if a lot of advice is given to you, but it is not implemented correctly it will also not produce anything, for me it is better to learn something that is easier for you to understand and not forcing something you can't accept.

You have been a beginner for so long, the advice that has been given to you should have been properly applied, but so far your progress has not been smooth sailing, it takes more serious hard work to get you out of the beginner's word.

Thanks.

Learning, learning, and more learning will help you gain insight and confidence in the decisions you make for yourself. Because practice makes perfect, I recommend that you conduct your own research and learn something new about cryptocurrency every day, as this will provide you with a better lead and guide here.

Simply relying on books or reading online will not guarantee your success in this area of learning; you must put it into practice and thoroughly research market trends in comparison to what you've learned online. This will help you make better decisions and determine your next steps in the market. With consistent learning of new things in cryptocurrency, you'll become your own coach.

I think that the enthusiasm to learn is very important to determine whether you are really serious in the crypto world or not. because so many people come here and are just excited at the beginning. but they will back down when they are strived to continue to be enthusiastic, motivated, and able to manage risks so they can optimize their own potential. Here, we can see how newbies always try to get money quickly, but they forget that they can only get it because of their own efforts, not just a matter of luck.

Newbies are prone to fall for scams, so it is better to avoid interacting with people who send private messages and pretend to offer some sort of financial advice. If possible stay away from all kinds of messages or just ignore them. That is what I did and I do it all the time. This advice is just to keep OP safe from any sort of financial scams.

Being confident at yourself would come by different context.
In the part of investments would be one aspect to it and with regards to the forum, as per being confident in the information you put out would be the other.

Be it either one, it always starts by trying, experimenting and the feedback or results you get from your triers or experiments. The little success you get from those builds your confidence and makes you better. You don't go about getting confidence by looking at other users parameters for a thread or out of what means other persons used to attain there goals but, from your failures and wins.

Instead of being scarry of failing, try and fail and then take corrections. It does get better.

For you to succeed in Bitcoin projects, you have to learn more about it but come to think of it you have been on this forum for a long time and you have asked this question too, does it mean all the answers the forum games to you are not useful? Or are you trying to say that you didn't understand them?

Then it was inconsistency and lack of seriousness with what I want made me leave and abandon my account... Imagine someone left learning for that long the knowledge or experience he/she has would not be the same when he comes back to it.
By the time I made that post my activities was 6 or 8 there about which is a poor result for an account that as been for 2yrs

My personal experience is that when you truly trade independently, you can be sure of yourself and your judgment. Because trading will expose you to both positive and negative situations, which can contribute to your trading development. Nonetheless, you should always conduct your own research and remain calm when making decisions because your assets could disappear in a split second. I advise you to do some online research and further your exploration so that you have thoughts that will give you confidence in the choices you will be making. It would be beneficial to have connections like these with people because they can provide you with ideas, thus it makes sense in my opinion to ask for advise here. Wishing you luck as you pursue trading!

OP, you haven't explained your situation and what you really want, so it's hard to give you a concrete answer.
If you want to trade crypto and make money that way, then I would advise you not to rush and to first learn the basics of crypto trading and how to do crypto analysis.
At the same time, you must learn to control your emotions, set a concrete plan, in accordance with your financial and personal situation, and have a clear exit strategy.
You can also choose a more careful and slower strategy to earn in crypto, such as one time buying a certain amount of btc and holding that btc for a long time in your wallet until the value of btc increases enough for you.
In both cases, it is a risky investment and you should be aware of that.
Have you thought about earning bitcoins through your work, translation, design work, reviews and other ways? This is perhaps the safest way to earn bitcoins and crypto, but of course you have to develop certain skills and knowledge for it.

Have you thought about earning bitcoins through your work, translation, design work, reviews and other ways? This is perhaps the safest way to earn bitcoins and crypto, but of course you have to develop certain skills and knowledge for it.

Many people probably think about it, OP is no exception. But without specific skills and a good marketing strategy about the service, then no one will be able to compete with reputable users in this community who offer the same services.

Signature campaign, yes - that's another option the OP could consider as a safe option if he want to earn bitcoin. But, to earn bitcoin from signatures is definitely not something that is really easy for a newbie to think about. There must be effort and consistency in post, getting merit, rank up, maintaining the quality of post and also competing with other potential applicants.

what idea exactly are you requesting for op, it is idea to develop your personal interest in crypto or a better way to go about investing in crypto??

Try making your question precise to enable your audience understand you better

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

OP, as a crypto newbie, should look out for scam threats. Most newbies are prone to falling victim to scammers, but it is good you asked here. Be smart and conscious, bro; a bad experience is when you invest in crypto and you finally lose all your assets. The phrase "not your token, not your coin" should always be at the back of your mind. which means you must protect your wallet seed phrase because the most important part of cryptocurrency is security. Note that scammers are everywhere: on Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, etc. Be careful.

[Bhig Daddy]

I can only advise against investing in something you don't completely understand and against investing more money than you can afford to lose. The forum has a ton of helpful information, so it's best to start by reading the sticky topics in this board that can assist you as a beginner. It's also not a bad idea to check out the Meta board. After that, just start at the top of the forum and scroll down to look for new stuff; you'll eventually find something that grabs your attention.
Nobody should or can make decisions for you, thus you won't discover any sort of recipe for success in life.

[Outhue]

You are welcome to the forum OP.

If you are in some kind of hurry, to invest, start your journey with Bitcoin, just don't invest with money you will need in a few weeks or months, Bitcoin favours the long-term holders more.  

Avoid altcoins under top 10 and learn about them first, you shouldn't buy something you don't really understand, so focus on Bitcoin for now and learn to use the forum search engine to get quick answered questions and to also avoid creating topics that have been discussed too many times before.

Spend time doing research on crypto wallets, the forum search engine will guide you through. Open source wallets are the most reliable,  Electrum is the best for Bitcoin, if you can't afford to buy a hardware wallet.

Good luck.

From my perspective there's only one thing that you should do as a newbie which will attain you confidence as well as knowledge and that is "reading and learning".
Keep reading and learning whatever you can, wherever you can and whenever you can.
This forum is a great place to start and you will automatically know what more to learn when you keep reading throughout the forum.
Keep exploring and that is how you will attain enough knowledge to tackle anything that comes against you.

Don't see making profits on Bitcointalk as your first priority,
Learn about crypto and have an understanding first before even thinking of investing in crypto,
Don't be scared to make mistake else you wont't learn new things,
Don't feel bad if you are been corrected by other members,
Always ask questions from other members on issues you don't understand,
And don't ever invest in crypto an asset  you can't afford to lose, because crypto is 50/50, it's either you lose or you gain...

It's been said here many times, but people who come to the forum are very often not interested in cryptocurrencies, but how to get merit, how to get rank, how to earn a bounty, etc. This is common far beyond the forum. 9 out of 10 new people coming into the crypto industry don't want to learn about cryptocurrencies, they want to make money from cryptocurrency. No wonder why scams are becoming more and more popular every year. After all, many people don't know how to protect themselves from these scams and expose themselves to the lure of easy money that they will never make.
