[Shamm]

I have made a bold decision to start my bitcoin journey. But just like every a new born baby needs close care and attention to grow I really don't want to make a mistake in any thing I am doing. I have this question to ask.  
''Is it advisable to to have a mentor who I can always go to as a newbie in the crypto space or I should rely all my knowledge on things I read online for my growth.

They are so lucky at early stage of participation in crypto they already found this forum where they can learn a lot of information if they are just doing some extra efforts on researching those information's available around the corner. Not everyone can easily locate this forum since it needs deep research before they can go here if no one will tell its existence. And since they are already here they can ask any questions and for sure to many learnings they can possibly pick up if they are hard working.

The problem with other is they only want to get spoon feed since they are lazy for seeking or verifying the information they receive. They didn't realize that doing that is not good to them since they can't learn anything by relying to much on other people.

A newborn baby needs care and attention to grow because they don't know anything at all, they don't know what's good or bad for them since they don't have any sense or understanding or any abilities whatsoever, however, you might not have knowledge about Bitcoin but you are probably literate, know how to use the internet, how to use Google or YouTube or any other platform to search for content and to watch and read and understand what you are watching and reading.

So, you don't really need someone to guide you at every single step in the learning process or even after that unless you say that you don't know anything and you can't even use an electronic device and this post was also made by someone else sitting beside you, if that's the case, you might have a hard time in learning and understanding everything.

Good luck anyway.

Make some researches yourself. Bitcoin and crypto generally is about DYOR. Anything you do not understand, you can ask on this forum. There is nothing better than you to have the knowledge and understanding about bitcoin.

In the process of seeking for advice, some people may want to scam you, avoid people and make research yourself.

You have just said the right thing , in bitcoin investment having a mentor does not not really count if people will do well what matters is individuals effort on making research to do things right. Having a mentor is good if one is lucky to have who is worth being a mentor,  and looking for a mentor can lead someone entering a wrong hand that can be a problem.

Bitcoin is something people can do by themselves if only they give themselves the time to make research which will expand their knowledge of making them on how to go about an investment.  Their is no much need to get mentor when everything is online and not even complicated to understand.

Every man can be a mentor to himself one way or the other, it really just simply lies down to how actually just handle the whole situation because just like every other person out there who one wants to grow you first need to make research by yourself and then after making and gathering your own knowledge I think asking of possible questions for proper orientation and guidelines will probably be of help to successful starting your journey and it's as simple as that just make sure you continually follow up with the trend and you will find out that being a self mentor is probably best in the world of cryptocurrency.

I don't know about you or anyone else but i think you can both have a good mentor or a bad one if you decide to hope on someone to be your mentor, the cryto world is very vast and no one actually fully understand it's so everyone is actually tangling on mere speculation and with knowledge they have gathered for themselves so you making research is actually going to be a good plan to start up.

The importance of a mentor in every works of life cannot be overly emphasised as it has numerous advantages to you been the mentee but that doesn't assures you of success, you must work hard your self to be able to achieve desired results while still under the guidance of your mentor. One advantage of a mentor is you tend to make fewer mistakes than you would have without a mentor.

A mentor will guide you from his level of experience and make sure you don't make the mistakes he made while growing, this will help fast track your journey and you go far in a shorter time than you would have doing it all alone. In the crypto space you definitely need a mentor wether directly or indirectly because no one is an island of knowledge in this space so you need someone who has a level of experience more than you do to guide you pass some stgaes and avoid certain costly mistakes.

It’s your own investor. You should be responsible on all the decision making because mentor will just confuse you when he give an advice that doesn’t fit to your preference.

It’s better to read previous discussion here and learned from the reputable users advice instead of just asking someone about something you want to know because no one here will be interested to dedicate their time on answering your questions. Bitcointalk has a rich source of info which answer almost all your questions. Just use the search function of the forum.

There is nothing wrong in having a mentor. It is only wrong when you over-rely on the mentor's advice or judgements.  The essence of getting a mentor is to learn from the person or those who have great experience in that particular field you are pursuing.  Why learning from them, you do your homework.  Do your research, read threads and posts, ask questions where you are not clarified. Dedicate your time to learning from all sources.  When you do your personal researches, you will know when your mentor is digressing.  Remember no one knows it all and you alone is accountable for all your investment decisions.

A mentor is not really necessary. Information is easily available through many sources. You can learn a lot from reading newsletters, visiting forums or watching YouTube videos. There are many diverse ideas within the Bitcoin community. Someone who is trusted by many people is Andreas Antonopoulos. He is a great educator but you don't want to rely on a single person's advice. There are many complex and sometimes even controversial issues which you will need to form your opinions independently.

[GiftedMAN]

In additional to all the contributions that has been made regarding your question, I think you don't need a personal mentor rather you need knowledge which can easily be gotten from being a part of the forum which you are already and asking for help by asking necessary questions and making more research to verify the information that you receive here.

You can also get so many knowledge on reading  some threads that is related to what you can learn from I believe you will increase your knowledge on cryptocurrency.

You're right. There are many sources, we can easily get them through this forum or googling on internet. It is not impossible to learn Bitcoin without a mentor. However, if we have a mentor, he can give a suggestion which part to learn first and which to learn later. It can make us to learn more effectively. A mentor also can share his real experience in Bitcoin journey. But the problem, it is not easy to get a trusted mentor. I personally never get a person that I can believe to be my mentor. So, I just learn myself and do everything with my own way.

If you want to have a mentor, then look for someone who can truly be trusted and has the ability to be your mentor. It is widely believed here, in any case, especially if it concerns the money you are going to invest.

Mentor actually functions to help you learn and carry out activities in crypto. In fact, this will be even better because you can have discussions with people who can really help you directly. At least he can also give you direction when you want to decide something, or maybe you will take the wrong step but in the end you will be helped by consultation with a mentor. So it just depends on who the mentor will be. If you really want to have it, go ahead, if not, we can also be more independent.

Like most members have said above, it’s better you do your own research and learn for yourself. But I understand everyone is not the same and every person has his unique own learning pattern, if yours is mentorship then you can go ahead but I would advise you find a mentor who is experienced in the crypto field. Getting a high value mentor is cool, but have you considered the cost? No successful individual would give his time and knowledge for free.

The beginning of becoming successful in cryptocurrency race is the ability of the investors or the particular person to carry out its own research, so I believe that learning iatrs all about involvement of two things, and the involvement of two things are conducting a research and depends on the research and secondly believing on another person work, so what I believe is personal race, having mentor is good but internet is the highest provider, so since internet is highest provider I don't see any reason while we should have a guidance in cryptocurrency race, this journey is a journey you will comprehend the conduct through your observation and research as I portrayed initially

Whether or not to have a mentor depends on each person's preference.
Whether you need one or not depends on how you learn to trade properly.

I learned trading only by myself and there is no mentor,
maybe just look at some basic knowledge and continue to develop it by combining several strategies and using available indicators.

Mentor may be like a real road sign, and it will be a warning when we go wrong.
Many people use mentors until they pay for a certain period of time.
Usually, they also provide live trading to practice trade analysis when trading.

If you have a friend whom you can trust and who is well versed in cryptocurrency, then surely this would be the best solution to take advantage of his knowledge. Otherwise, you will be forced to figure it out on your own, but if you need any help, you can ask for help on this forum.
