I want to know to all you big cryptocurrency users if someone who is new to cryptocurrency wants to learn about cryptocurrency then what should he know first, the reason for saying this is because many new crypto currency users come to cryptocurrency and don't know anything.  By investing in cryptocurrency without understanding, they are losing all their property, so if you who are experts would say that before investing in cryptocurrency, you should know what things you should invest ?  Then the new crypto currency users would have benefited a lot, they would not have faced any losses as newcomers

Know what you are investing in, what the use case is, and how secured it is, not just some random project with a fake promise.
Have a reason for investing, and then you need to learn the best way to protect your coins and where and where not to leave them for a long time.

Certainly I'm no expert, but let me share my journey. Back in 2017, I heard about Bitcoin and started digging for info. I began by understanding the basics of Bitcoin, then naturally followed the current. That's when I realized Bitcoin was just one piece in the world of cryptocurrencies. It led me to altcoins, and as time went on, new things like NFTs and DeFi emerged. I just kept following the developments. I believe many folks, like me, kickstarted their crypto journey with Bitcoin. It was the buzzword back then, and from there, it's been a journey of continuous learning and adapting to the evolving crypto landscape.

Absolutely, without understanding the basic and fundamental use it's so risky to start cryptocurrency . Newbies should learn different things about crypto before diving into it.

The most important thing which i will recommend to learn first is Basic Concepts of crypto currency. Newbies should learn about blockchain, decentralization, and cryptocurrency function. second I will recommend to learn about crypto wallet security, private keys/paraphrase and all tool which will safe the wallet.

Besides these two major and fundamental thing it will be better to learn how to pick a good project by knowing the usecase of projects, risk management .

They join cryptocurrency market to have it, own it and to get profit from their cryptocurrencies.

Before they can get profit, they must not lose their cryptocurrencies. The first things they have to do is learning about basics like

Cryptocurrency scam book
Choose your wallet and secure it.
How to back up a seed phrase? It is important for back up of wallet and wallet recovery.

If you get confused about other altcoins to trade why not focus to trade bitcoin or the top 10 alts in the market? For sure you can learn a lot of things from trading it frequently. Also don't use all the funds on hand especially if you are learning on how to trade since usually we encounter some losses with that.

Also aside from trying out those suggestion posted by other user above try to visit the trading discussion section and also altcoin discussion section since you can learn something base on the discussion posted by several users in this forum.

It maybe hard for newbie to not encounter any lose since at first you need to deal with it but you can minimize the damage made by mistakes done by doing all those research suggested by forum users. But also try to learn some information about scams on scam accusation section since it could also help you to get save by possible scam attempts made by some vicious developers.

I want to know to all you big cryptocurrency users if someone who is new to cryptocurrency wants to learn about cryptocurrency then what should he know first, the reason for saying this is because many new crypto currency users come to cryptocurrency and don't know anything. 

That’s right, a lot of people just come into cryptocurrency without having any knowledge about cryptocurrency, some of them actually joins crypto because of the stories they hear about people making money from cryptocurrency, they just think they can also earn from it by just investing without carrying out research or knowing anything about it.

Firstly, a person new to cryptocurrency should understand the risks associated with it and that it is not a get rich quick scheme because that is what new investors think of cryptocurrency. Due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies profit is not always certain and it has a 50/50 chance of either profit or loss. To be successful in crypto one needs to understand it to some extent and be able to apply those knowledge in order to be successful. People new to cryptocurrency should first and foremost seek for knowledge before investing any amount in crypto and also they should only invest an amount they they can afford to lose.

How to protect their wallets and assets against frauds should also be taken into account, as this is one of the biggest risks that novices in the cryptocurrency space face in their early days. There are several threads on this forum discussing how to protect ourselves from scam attacks; if you browse around, you can find some useful information.

By investing in cryptocurrency without understanding, they are losing all their property, so if you who are experts would say that before investing in cryptocurrency

This happens a lot but sometimes learning the hard way is the best way to learn. No one in their right senses will indulge in anything without having knowledge about it so investing without knowledge and losing their money will teach them a lot, it will teach them not to rush into things they are not knowledgeable about. I will cost them nothing to ask experts for guidance on the basic concepts of cryptocurrency and how to embark on their crypto journey.

All those who think that cryptocurrencies are a way to earn something or even become millionaires should know that this is just a myth spread by those who invent various coins/tokens and need people who will invest in their ideas so that they can profit as much as possible. Projects without purpose and meaning, regardless of the fact that they promise everything you can imagine, should be avoided at all costs.

Of course, there are always exceptions, but you should remember that these are only exceptions, and also that research has shown that 95% of people who trade with cryptocurrencies end up with only losses, so you should ask yourself if you have a chance to be among those 5%?

In any case, all those who want to invest in cryptocurrencies should first of all invest their time in acquiring as much knowledge and gathering information as possible. Such decisions should not be made overnight or based on what a friend or acquaintance told you, especially if someone convinces you of something that at first glance looks too good to be true.

When it comes to money and earnings, even those you consider reliable and good people can change a lot, because money changes people very often for the worse.

Every beginner must know and learn how to generate the private key correctly, that it be random enough and that no one can know the private key unless it is by reading the seed or that the seed is connected to a device connected to the Internet. Only then can you say that your money is safe and you can Consider buying Bitcoin, enhance your privacy and learn to trade.

[DYING_S0UL]

I am not an expert in bitcoin nor any other cryptocurrency. But I think everyone would agree that before doing an investing or getting yourself involved with crypto you must study the basic fundamentals first. There can be many things to know, many questions, many answers and many confusions. So in order to get the most of it you can use bitcointalk forum. It's a hub for crypto enthusiastic people. You cannot just come to crypto and start investing. That's not possible. First learn things like, how crypto are stored, what is a wallet, what is seed phrase/secret keys, what is a blockchain, What is multichain, how does a transaction work, what is gas fee, centralized and decentralized exchanges etc.

Stick to investing in Bitcoin first and study before you progress to other areas of Cryptocurrency.  This is it.

It is very tempting to start pouring money into what looks to be successful.  But for most of the regular people it leads to big mistakes, pouring a lot of money into bad Cryptocurrencies and at the end of the day losing a lot of money.  I strongly suggest you only stick to Bitcoin first unless you want to be another victim of stupid scams or schemes.

Stick to investing in Bitcoin first and study before you progress to other areas of Cryptocurrency.  This is it.

Bitcoin dominates the market and it is shown with Bitcoin dominance
Altcoins are risky, scam and more vulnerable to die.
How many cryptocurrencies failed? This question is for altcoins, not for Bitcoin because Bitcoin does not fail.

It is very tempting to start pouring money into what looks to be successful.  But for most of the regular people it leads to big mistakes, pouring a lot of money into bad Cryptocurrencies and at the end of the day losing a lot of money.  I strongly suggest you only stick to Bitcoin first unless you want to be another victim of stupid scams or schemes.

Stick with Bitcoin like institutional investors will use their capital wisely by invest in Bitcoin first. They will not pick shit coins with their big capital because it is hard for them to enter and exit but a more important reason is they see bigger risk with shit coins and feel safe with Bitcoin.

I want to know to all you big cryptocurrency users if someone who is new to cryptocurrency wants to learn about cryptocurrency then what should he know first,

Being a newbie, there are many things that are expected of you to first get yourself acquainted with, the knowledge about bitcoin and the understanding of bitcoin being the only reliable, most profitable digital currency that is less with risk, while every other cryptocurrencies are altcoins, you need to know about bitcoin wallets, the security practice, the difference between centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges, custodial wallet and non custodial wallets, you can as well to through other vital links already provided above, make use of the forum search engine and lastly be active and learn from the forum here and the internet by making comparison.

Before you do anything or invest in cryptocurrency, you should learn everything there is to know about it. Many people lose money because they don't know enough about it, and in crypto, you should know everything there is to know before you start investing or trading. Investing is better than trading because trading is very high risk, and if you don't have a mind, you can't do it. So it is better you make your bitcoin investment now that you will profit even if you lose because the price of bitcoin will climb at any point and now that it is progressively increasing.

If you haven't started investing in bitcoin yet, it's a good idea to do so before the bullrun. Anyone who invests in bitcoin knows that there will be times when the market doesn't go well and you'll lose your money, this isn't  mean because you're new to crypto that why you lose it's just that understanding it thoroughly will help you minimize your losses. because any investment you are doing they get some actually time that the market will misbehave and lose fund.

To begin with, I'll say nobody here is a cryptocurrency expert so there's no professional advice that you'll hear here although you'll get some experience respond as we have a big number of experience investors among us. All newbies should first understand that this industry isn't a quick rich industry and cryptocurrency are just currency so we should put that in mind when we're investing into them. The next advice would be to focus more on Bitcoin as that's the coin that controls the whole market and it's trusted and verified to be scam proof (you won't be scammed by the developers when investing in Bitcoin).

Anybody that invest into sometimes they don't understand is putting their money at least and deserve whatever they get in return because they aren't respecting money. First understand money and then understand cryptocurrency before you start investing, doing this will help you to make good decisions like accumulating Bitcoin instead of buying tokens that'll be worthless after the incoming bull market. How to secure your Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general is very vital lesson you should learn too as alot of money is been lost yearly to scammers and hackers. protecting your investments very well will determine how successful you'll get in the space.

To conclude, I'll advice you should have patience when investing in Bitcoin because those who hodl make the largest profits. Altcoins can be traded but you're taking a risk not worth it hodling them.

What you need to understand first as beginner in cryptocurrency,  you have to understand cryptocurrency can't make you to become rich and you have to understand the market that it is very volatile and if you are investing you don't have to put all your mind in your investment that you can make profit from your investment in a specific time. You don't need to invest all your savings in cryptocurrency but only the amount you can afford to lose.

If you want to invest in cryptocurrency do not rate every coin as the same, every coin coin differs in value and quality. For me any beginner that wants to start cryptocurrency I'll always advice to start up with bitcoin because is the most reputable coin for investment and the most valuable in the market.

Understanding crypto is not a rocket science if you follow proper learning and right information because you can seek for right information and get the wrong one and this can lead to wrong orientation of understanding crypto and with wrong information, you will most likely lose something in the end which is usually your crypto that you have sacrificed money to buy, you don't want to see one day that your hard earned investment has wash down the drainage, so here are what I think you should learn.

Learn to differentiate between a custodial platforms and non-custodial platforms; hint: custodial platforms means you are the only person that has access to the private keys and the seed phrase as the case maybe, while non-custodial platforms are control by a middle person or third party as they called them. The problem with this platforms is that, there is 100% risk of losing your funds is anything happens later.

Learn to differentiate between centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges, this will help you a lot and also avoid exchanges that are non-custodial in nature because you can't hold the private keys or seed phrase to your coins.

Learn to understand hardware wallet, software wallet and airgap device to store and manage your coins, each has its own advantage but hardware wallet and airgap device offer more conveniency and top notch security.

[AakZaki]

As an early adopter, the main goal of getting into crypto is of course wanting to know more about crypto and being able to benefit from crypto. But try not to think about profits first, what you have to know first is how this cryptocurrency works and you have to know what the terms are. I think that's a basic thing you need to know. To be able to make a profit, you need to learn how to trade and what knowledge is needed. Make sure you learn the basics first before putting money into crypto

are you asking the question for yourself or for new persons that are into the crypto space?

If it's not for you then you should just tell them how your journey went as a beginner and the things you learnt that help you become stable as a crypto person.

I guess if the person is in this forum, their are lots of information he can get from the so many thread that have already been created here. Another way to get answers to this kind of question is just to search out using google search engine and when the result comes out you can now start doing particular research on the individual topics and concept you need to get familiar with as a beginner.

[Bushdark]

One of the things you need to know as a newbie in the Crypto space is for you to understand how things work in the Crypto space.
There are a lot of things for you to learn in the crypto market which will help you to stay strongee and prevent you from falling victim to many wrong crypto projects that do not have a better team to promote it and send it to the moon..
