I almost said that this thread does not worth discussing because it could lead to speculations of wrongful implications but I also think the otherwise that yeah, it Worth discussing because they are crypto investors whom had wrongly orientated newly investors.
So, taking notes of such related advices would help others to defeat such misleading scenarios.

But on this course, I am not going to disclose any of the wrong advices instead I would stand against them so that the newbies could as well have a comparison so as to make their choices with all clarity of positive and negative knowledges.

This will be fun, drop you 5 wrong crypto advice you can think of, I will go first.

1. You should store your crypto assets on centralized exchanges, the bigger they are the better, so if they lose your assets you will be able to hold them responsible.

There is no one to hold responsible when you have your assets lost on the centralized exchange so don't get fooled.
It is always easier to say than to do so, Save your assets on the decentralized and non-custodial wallets and save your energy of those stresses of chasing a legal means to be compensated. Be aware that the centralized jurisdiction can deny you such files of holding the authorities responsible for your lost funds.
Remember your inability to take 100% security conciousness of your security gadgets can be a response possibilities to your lost funds which your appeals can be ignored. So with an easier awareness, stay off the risks.

2. Buy your hardware wallets from local stores nearby, you will save a lot on custom fees and shipping fees.

On the contrast of cutting the cost of custom and shipping fees, be aware that the local store dealers may have added those costs to the price. So if you may be attentive enough, you would found it out that buying your hardware wallets online maybe cheaper than the local stores only that the online fees are scary which could be on almost same price range with the local stores if we should sum it all up.

Als remember there are high risks of buying in the locality because some unqualified hardware producers could venture of developing insecured wallets that may have your funds at risk also be aware that there are illegal dealers who may have malicious intensions of compromising your Wallet privacies unlike on-line that is periodically genuine, authorized in operating with certified licenses to be authenticated.

So, have your assets funds more valued that cutting costs of the customs and shipping fees

3. The cheaper the better, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin gold are better than Bitcoin.

To my little knowledge to this because I find them all good investments but while I would say Bitcoin is better than the rest mentioned is that Bitcoin is highily liquified digital assets which you can digitally hold your asset while the technology volatile nature of it revolves around the determinant of your assets value and also the fact that it is a program operating on decentralized policies.

Much interesting part of Bitcoin is that it is secured from any nature of crisis such as the natural disasters unlike the the Bitcoin gold and the Golds which are bound to be effected destructively when such disasters rocks and also the its centralized potentials that the governments would always have to deploy their selfish interests surrounding the golds markets.

4. There is no difference between a custodial and a non-custodial crypto wallet.

There is a much risk in storing your Bitcoin in a custodial wallet because you would not be in total charge of having your private keys all by yourself and it is certain as to be said "Not your Keys, so also Not you Coins" because there is always a third party accessible to your custodial wallet having your assets at the pace of risks.

While non-custodial is a wallet platform that has you the privileges to have your private keys all by yourself there is obviously to say that "Your Keys, Your Funds". You are at all right to govern your assets by yourself at your Privacies having your assets a stronger security Blockchain.

5. You can become rich by taking a loan to invest in crypto.

At some points OP, I consider some sense out of this because if you can loan from an understanding body who may ask give you a more convenient time to pay back, then I don't see anything wrong here. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick to venture into loaning to Invest under pressures of paying back in a short time otherwise, there is a succeeding faith to be prosperous on loaning to venture on crytop investment.
This is just about understanding but it would be a failed attempt when the investor dares to take loan invest crypto conditionally on paying back in a short time.

2. Use a single, multi-coin wallet for all your crypto holdings because it is more convenient to have them all in one place.

3. Don't sell any of your assets no matter how high the market may go because it will always go higher in the future.

2. This depends on the wallet you’re using, using a hot wallet you’re definitely risking everything if they are on the same wallet in fact even if they are on different wallet but on same device then there is still no too much difference. But a cold wallet like hardware wallet could still be much safer even if you have multi-coins on them. You cannot because of you want to split your coins into different wallet have some portion in hot wallets, except those on hot wallet are not that big. If you must use too different wallet then it should be cold wallets and not same device that’s more secure.

3. This actually has been a debate but agree that not taking profits is definitely a huge risk of it, there is never a loss when you take profit. But still there are coins that you have great conviction or narrative about that they will pump in future example is bitcoin so why not take out your capital and some little profits from it. If it rugs you will still be on advantage

No matter how huge the potential of bitcoin increasing in future Is and how long a loan repayment time is, never take loan to invest in a volatile asset. The possibility of it growing in profit is still a probability just as much as the risk too

The key in education for newbies, children as empty brains, is to teach them doing right things.

What you do here is oppositely. I don't say you are teaching them to do bad things but it's better if you start with advice to do right things first.

What you are doing here, is to ask them using their brains, extrapolate your posts and other wrong advises, and do oppositely. What if newbies, children do bad extrapolations so that they will not be able to do right things.

Remember all bad things are overwhelming, isn't it?

[SatoPrincess]

• Bitcoin is only used by criminals
• It’s too late to buy Bitcoins, invest in altcoins.
• Borrow money to buy Bitcoins.
• Save your private keys on your email.
• Bitcoin is a scam.

There are many wrong crypto advice that most people are giving especially to newbies, but here are the 5 ones that just came to my mind.

1. Invest all of your money in one basket. Even you're a Bitcoin maximalist, I don't recommend doing this AT ALL.
2. Follow the herd. Sometimes, following the herd can lead you to losses. Sometimes, being a contrarian is the way to go.
3. Don't do research and just follow what these crypto influencers are recommending.
4. Store your assets on a CEX because putting it there will give you an opportunity to earn more through staking (basically not the actual staking, but you can really earn when you put assets on CEX).
5. Invest on a project because they will give "GUARANTEED" returns. In the world of investing, there's no such thing as guaranteed especially in cryptocurrency.

I know that there are many more, but one advice that I can give is that, beware of the advices that you're hearing especially online. Some might help you, but some might be the reason for you to lose money.

5. You can become rich by taking a loan to invest in crypto.

this is the most misleading advice in crypto, because taking out a loan to invest in crypto is reckless, since one could possibly lose the value of their investment in crypto and they would most likely not be able to pay back their loan. that's why people need to avoid borrowing money from banks or other people just to be able to make a profit from the crypto market because it is very risky.

[albon]

5. Invest on a project because they will give "GUARANTEED" returns. In the world of investing, there's no such thing as guaranteed especially in cryptocurrency.

I see that most investors are greatly enticed and scammed by advice that contains phrases like quick profits, guaranteed returns, multiplying capital by 100X, achieving the dream of wealth, and countless other illogical pieces of advice. Of course, it is the responsibility of every beginner to gain the necessary experience and conduct his research to determine whether the advice or recommendation he is listening to from someone is trustworthy or is just a trick to steal his funds and put him at risk.

Naturally, not all people who offer crypto advice to their followers and communities have good intentions; one of these influencers and analysts may promote one of the platforms or illegal currencies just because he received marketing fees from their teams, and it does not matter the fate of the people who listened to him and implemented what he advised, so every person must be sufficiently aware and cautious because not all the advice they will find will be in their favor.

This will be fun, drop you 5 wrong crypto advice you can think of, I will go first.

1. You don't need knowledge before you start trading, you can even make profit while you have no trading knowledge.

2. Once you invest in Bitcoin today, be rest assured that you are a future billionaire.

3. All cryptocurrency investors hate banks,this is because they don't save money in the banks.

4. All cryptocurrency investors are scammers that's why they are always hiding their portfolios.

5. You don't need to hide your seed phrase, even if someone else has access to it, they can't do anything to your funds.

[Maus0728]

1. You can probably hodl until the next bull run, you don't have enough bitcoin to sell during the current bull run so make sure that you should take the greedy route.

2. Jump right into trading, don't learn the basics because "experience" is the best teacher, don't do demo trades because it's a waste of your time.

3. Never question any advice that's given to you by people that have been in cryptocurrency game longer than you.

4. A crypto project that's got a good standing in the community is probably not a likely cause for worry that they might scam people and pull the rug under the people that trusted them.

5. The haters of bitcoin is wrong, all of them don't make a valid point, bitcoin when used as a tool is a never do wrong.

[Kristiyana]

1. Don't invest in bitcoin because it has a high level of risk to avoid losing your money.

2. Invest in memecoin instead of bitcoin because is very good for long term holding.

3. Invest heavily in memecoin so as to get a huge profit in return.

4. Telegram wallet is the most reliable and secured wallet to store our assets.

5. Invest in a newly launch project so that you will be the first to get profited.

[Porfirii]

1. Invest in Bitcoin now and you will get rich in a few years.

-snip-

Is that a really popularly admitted wrong crypto advice? Because I read it day in and day out in the forum, and I feel a little bad every time I have to remember that the price increase or even the repetition of the cycle are not sure things, because for some it is little less than blasphemy.

Although there are worse ones. An acquaintance has the habit of saying that in the short term the price will go up or down, with complete certainty (derived from his ignorance) which means a potential disaster for those who pay attention to him.

This will be fun, drop you 5 wrong crypto advice you can think of, I will go first.

1. Bitcoin is an extremely profitable investment so you should invest money you cannot afford to lose if you want to double or triple it.

2. there is no point in learning how to properly trade bitcoin, you can easily join a group and then the "experts" in that group advise you on what to do or follow the strategy that they are doing.

3. you should take advantage of the Bitcoin doubler you see online, especially if a well-known person is the one hosting it.

4. Quickly sell your Bitcoin if the price is suddenly dropping fast if you want to save your money.

5. as Luzin has already mentioned, Craig Wright is the creator of Bitcoin, anyone who says otherwise is a moron.

[Zlantann]

This will be fun, drop you 5 wrong crypto advice you can think of, I will go first.

1. The government will seize all cryptocurrencies, so it is better to sell your coins to avoid losing them in the future.
2. All cryptocurrencies are the same, so you can buy anyone and make a profit from it.
3. Bitcoin is demonic and will be a single currency that will be used by the devil at the end of time.
4. Bitcoin can make you rich within a short period, so you can sell your properties, take loans, or borrow to invest in it.
5. Bitcoin is anonymous.

My views about these misconceptions.

1. The government can't control the crypto space because coins like Bitcoin are decentralized.
2. All cryptos are not the same; that's why we need to do our research about these coins.
3. There is no religious proof that Bitcoin is connected to any satanic project.
4. Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme, so investors should have a long-term approach.
5. Bitcoin is pseudonymous, but you can make it anonymous through the help of some privacy tools.

[Dave1]

Here's mine,

1. Bitcoin is a scam, do not invest on them, only invest on shitcoin and memecoin
2. Blockchain can be altered
3. Borrow money and invest it on crypto (others might disagree with me here)
4. Saved your private key, mnemonic phrase in the cloud or email
5. Don't back up your private key and mnemonic phrase

So there's a lot of misconceptions and if you are a beginner, you might have encountered most of it already.

2. Buy your hardware wallets from local stores nearby, you will save a lot on custom fees and shipping fees.

I don't see anything wrong on this one. There are local stores that are affiliated with the manufacturers. For example with Trezor, they have accredited resellers locally for every country: https://trezor.io/resellers
What's wrong is when you buy it locally and it's not with an accredited reseller and there's already a preloaded seeds or a generated recovery phrases already.
