one mistake that crypto beginners should be aware of ?

[Bushdark]

There are a lot of mistakes being made by crypto beginners. I think they made mistakes like choosing an inappropriate crypto exchange platform, thinking only about pricing instead of ROIS, lack of research and planning, and underestimating cyber security. If they were aware of such things, it will be more beneficial for them.

This is common many newbie loss in trading because of thier mistake it is normal they are still in a stage of learning all i can see is that they need to use small amount to avoid anger and disappointment when they loss maybe not all beginner loss but most of them because they still didn't have any experience yet.

If you are trading in the market and you are using big fund when we can't even control small funds then that is a big mistake thah needs to be prevented because if when enter the market with a big fund and price goes against us then we might end up losing in a manner we would never want to experience. Trading is hard to achieve but some persons still does not understand the effort pro traders are going through to make sure that theykeep making profits from the market. We need to make sure that we acquired the necessary skills so that we can be able to beat the market.

There are loads of mistakes someone who is new to crypto can make when investing in crypto currencies for the first time. But one of the mistake that almost everyone does is that not doing enough research and investing thinking that they will make profit overnight. Also, when you're new to crypto, it's so important to learn as much as you can about the projects you're interested in, the technology behind it, the exchanges you'll be using, and the overall market trends. Without a good understanding of what's going on, it's easy to make bad decisions, lose all your money or fall for those stupid scams. One shouldn't rush into anything. They should be curious and ask hundreds of questions and think twice before taking any decisions.

Regardless if the trading fund is small or not, it's our own money therefore a serious approach should always take place.

Once we decide to put money on something, we have to make sure that all things and preparations are in 100%.

It's ok to make mistakes along the way but as long as we learned from it, that what matters.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Beginners in the crypto world tend to make several mistakes that can result in significant losses.

Some common mistakes include:

1: Choosing an inappropriate crypto exchange platform: Newcomers often select an exchange based on the lowest fees or by following the advice of friends, instead of doing proper research to find the most suitable exchange platform that offers secure and reliable services.

2: Focusing only on pricing instead of ROI: Many beginners make the mistake of only looking at the current price of a cryptocurrency, without considering other factors such as the coin's potential ROI and long-term value.

3: Lack of research and planning: Newcomers often make the mistake of investing in cryptocurrencies without doing thorough research and planning. It's important to understand the fundamentals of a cryptocurrency, its underlying technology, its potential future applications, and the market conditions that may impact its price.

4: Underestimating cyber security: Security is a crucial aspect of cryptocurrency investment, but many beginners often underestimate its importance. They may store their coins on insecure wallets, use weak passwords, or fall victim to phishing scams, leading to the loss of their investments.

Yeah that was the beginners mistake, they are full of excitement and they are always do things quickly and wanted to earn quickly and they will loss at the end, people that was new in crypto has a big chance of lossing it is not easy to earn in crypto that is why it needs a lot of research specially on using exchange.

Others are too confident, like they already have money, and they also thought they could learn trading overnight. That is why they mostly take trades because they think they are confident. If you are serious about your plans, such as trading, and not just for profit, you should always be prepared if you do not want bad things to happen to your money. Others, on the other hand, believe that it is simply a simple buy low, sell high.

besides that beginners usually like to dramatize situations, where every loss or win is overly responded to, so that this actually backfires for themselves, considering that they have not been able to control themselves. but indeed this is part of the learning process where almost everyone experiences it, but we must immediately get up so we can quickly adapt to the market

Another common mistake beginners often make is having the mindset that crypto can make them to become rich immediately they start investing or trading, some even think when they start trading they can always make profit so quick and all the time from trading. This are mistakes some beginners come in with in trading maybe because they are misinformed and no research was done. Beginners needs to be aware of this common mistake and try to avoid it.

There is no doubt that trading beginners made very some very known mistakes at the start. This all happen because of no proper guidelines and own knowledge. One should learn every method before entering into trading. choosing low volume exchanges becomes very common. I remembered my friends who send fund to Hotbit because price of token was much higher than other exchange. when he recieved fund and he place bid for selling , the buying volume was so low and hus fund stucked there.

Another common mistake beginners often make is having the mindset that crypto can make them to become rich immediately they start investing or trading,

obviously this is another one beginners faced in great numbers. The main reason of this is because most of Crypto beginners enters by watching Youtube video or following Celebrities. These Youtubers claims that Crypto made him rich in very less time. These Youtubers has been paid by Fex exchanges for promoting future trading, grid and copy trading and  unfortunately simple people follow it to become rich in short time.

One thing I've noticed about cryptocurrency beginners is that they always want to make money quickly and don't even know what currency to invest in. All they want is for their money to start doubling as soon as they start investing, but they are unaware that this is not how cryptocurrency works, instead, it relies on certain principles, which is why the majority of people fell victim to the FTX collapse and lost a lot of money, and lots of individuals lost their money, and beginners are always interested in altcoins that will go 100x at the end of the day they ending up losing their money after a failed project. the best thing to do your research before investing in cryptocurrency involves risk.

this is like a FOMO mentality in which new traders want to invest to something they are hopeful to skyrocket immediately in a short amount of time, not knowing what they bought is somebody's exit plan. in the recent trend in which people are interested in play to earn games axie excluded since the price that time was already too high for ordinary investors to buy, what I have initially noticed is that they are scrambling to buy even if the project is unsure just for them not to miss the train/rocket like what they regretted on axie. during those times, this is what I commonly see in social platforms like twitter but the thing is, they are too dependent on someone's recommendation for example social media influencers or youtubers. in the end like i've said, what they thought is pumping in the next couple of days ends up them being scammed since those devs are already exiting (rug pull) or much better term for that is "they are dumping on those investor's faces".

I agree with the OP. Although it has been said that we shouldn't keep our bitcoin in an exchange on the other side of it for beginners especially in trading is choosing the appropriate crypto exchange platform. Some platforms are safe to use while other are not. I use binance because it has street cred.

Just like the OP said, there's just so much more to bitcoin trading than just price. The more, include, market cap, and for me the most important is the real life applications of it. These and many more constitute the ROI which should be the actual focus of the newbie trader.

If am not mistaking there's a lot of threads here and "beginner and help" board that have handle such topic as this and more, so it would be good op you do a deep search about certain topics on the forum if they have been discussed maybe in times past or just recently so it doesn't look like you're spamming, although I chose to believe that you didn't know about it. Examples: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5447603.msg62035733#msg62035733

There's a lot needed for every newbie to bitcoin needs to learn and this can only be achieved if they can have the patience to key into learning the very basics before pushing themselves to upper level else such newbie would always be a victim of scams, a hard way to learn.

It would be too much of a risk-taker that a beginner put all his faith in a trading signal but yep it's not like it didn't happen before.

One mistake that I can think of which I have also tried and regret back in the day was trading an altcoin where I should be on BTC/USDT.
Some beginners begin to like one altcoin thinking it will become like BTC so they keep trading on such a pair.

Actually trading altcoins is okay as long as the altcoins are moving well so you can buy low and sell high. I have experienced this before and when the price seemed unable to continue its upward movement and tended to move downward following the bitcoin movement, I decided to exit the market and wait for the next opportunity.

But if there are no altcoins with such good movements, we don't need to try it and choose to return to bitcoin because maybe bitcoin's movements are already good. And if it's not great moves from bitcoin and altcoins, maybe we can get out of the market first and take a break.

Those who are like that are people who want to profit without doing business. Maybe it's the same as people who think that investing or trading in crypto is a get-rich-quick road. lol
Indeed, we should have our own skills regarding this space, only relying on that signal is tantamount to burying dadari's potential within ourselves. Indeed learning will take a long time, but if we are serious then it will pay off with the effort we put in. But what I see now is that most people easily give up with one failure, that's what keeps them from growing and moving forward. They buried their own dreams.

So by having expertise in trading, we can analyze based on our knowledge and develop our abilities to be better. And by having better skills, we will have even greater opportunities to make more profits. And if we haven't been able to profit from trading, we should not despair but keep learning more and understanding trading and remain confident that one day we will be able to make more profits. And we also won't depend on signals from other people because we already have expertise in analyzing the market.

Elementary monitoring of exchanges will help you choose the best option, which is not the biggest mistake that a beginner should be worried about. A bigger mistake would be to store coins on the exchange after purchase, as well as choose an exchange that requires verification. Every mistake we make is an experience, as many of us learned from the very beginning.

[tygeade]

Everything is going to go through beginners' stage. That's the best way to learn, but having a mentor is better. If not, then you will have to go through it. I want to expand on what you have already said, OP.

• Imagine joining exchanges just because it has gotten popular in a short while and may be too good to be true
• Only goes with the crowd and follows what they see online without research.
• Keeps everything easily accessible to anyone

.

Those things are quickly learned if the person exerts effort towards it, and if non, then you know what will happen. That someone will not be involved anymore with the crypto space because of a "bad experience."

I think getting a mentor and being influenced by someone are different things and people should be careful about them for sure. I know that being influenced by people like on twitter and buying something because they suggested is a terrible move that should be avoided as much as possible.

There are tons of people who follow influencers on twitter and most of the time they end up making a loss and that's not a good idea. However, finding a mentor, someone who you can chat and have discussions with, could be beneficial for you and you can learn more about it when the time comes, I know many people are worried about it but that's not going to be a trouble for anyone at all. It should be as easy as it gets and should be fine.

and they're many more mistakes that'll still be made, it can't be totally avoided, life is in stages and so is everything not excluding trading, just as we can't skip standing as a lad to walk, so we can't also skip stages in trading, treat each stage with the amount of attention and time it requires.

Finding a reliable mentor - That is the thing that newbies are supposed to do. But unfortunately, the situation is getting difficult as it was hard to trust someone online, most of them are greedy and yes, scammers. Well, the last option I see is to carry ourselves and study the market alone. In fact, there are a lot of trading resources that we can find online and I think it was enough to learn to trade, we just need not be afraid of trying and experience actual trading as this will teach us more lessons than reading and watching tutorials.

^ As I can say, standing by yourself if you cannot find a mentor and doing your own research is the best way to avoid different mistakes as a new trader. Because new traders should have a trading plan, failing to develop a trading plan and there are many new traders who start trading without a well-defined plan. They may not have clear goals, risk management strategies, or a defined approach to analyzing the markets. Because for me, becoming a successful trader requires a combination of education, experience, discipline, and a willingness to continuously learn and adapt to changing market conditions.

If you are a beginner and you have no mentor, why not use small funds to begin with?
This is your learning phase to see how the market performs and grasp possible techniques along the way.
If you are in a hurry, high likely that you will lose a lot as you have no weapon yet in this battle.
A lot of us learned the hard way. Even the so-called experts can still commit mistakes.
As we don't know where each project will head to, we are only speculating where they are going to.

Elementary monitoring of exchange is still never a good idea for the beginner that's going to invest in the altcoin market that's known for being high manipulated market. The altcoin use case its market capitalization, historical data, the team, and the community supporting the project still need to be put into concern.
