"What are the biggest mistakes I should avoid as a newbie"?

[GiftedMAN]

Learn any good thing you want to know from the forum and her members but try to be original and intentional in anything you do so you don't feel uncomfortable easily, avoid trying to please anybody but learn to tolerate and communicate with each member and don't wake things too seriously when they don't go as planned cause everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Staying active doesn't guarantee you growth in knowledge but staying active and learning and making personal research will help you to understand and grow faster.

[DiMarxist]

Someone that navigating the internet and show bitcointalk.org will have issue in his registration process. So who guided you? That is for that. If really your are here or learn then you have to do the following which I have also and did in my early days in the forum. If you love reading then you have to check other people's posts and read them, and for doing so, you are leaning. And when you have read and understood what you read and apply it and it se them to educate and teach others then you have learned and it is time for you to pass to others who are newly coming to the forum. To learn and to educate are the two key elements in the forum.
I'm the process of making comments, you might make mistakes and others will correct you. Some will correct you with harsh words while some will polite words but all the same, don't retaliate but learn from the two. Nobody hates you and everyone wants the best from you. Be calmed and learn.

Never put more money into crypocurrency than you can afford to loose.

Never put more money into crypocurrency than you can afford to loose.

Money management is really the most important thing in Investment, not only limited to Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, any kind of investment. Differentiating our funds into several accounts, personally, I divide my monthly salary into three, which is one for daily necessities, one for contingency fund, and one for savings. This saving is the one that I will use for investment.

For sure other members have already given you a possible head start here in the community, it's up to you now which path you would like to join I'd recommend focusing in your security first such as the wallet and exchange you will use recently one of the common problem of the newbies are the wallets getting compromised so you must need to secure your device first to avoid hackers stole your money, like do a security patch, avoid links and unknown persons getting attached to make sure you are safe from deceiving, now also the exchange if they are reliable to use or not id recommend use the reputable platform already to less hassle to use it and of course support your country.

Exactly,  even another issue I have seen with a newbie in crypto I know personally,  Is that his money was wiped from the trust wallet he stored his coins, and he said he didn't click any links via email or anywhere and haven't even sent out funds before and have only deposited, but to his greatest surprise, all funds were wiped, and when I further asked him who created the wallet ,he said it was a friend, that was when I new what went wrong,  his friend must have scanned or copied his seed phrases somewhere and use it to wipe his account when he must have forgotten.

Therefore, Op if you're going to create a wallet ensure you do it yourself alone without anyone, and properly copy your seed phrases.
These are simple mistakes some newbies do as well.

This place is one of the best place to be so why not make use of the opportunity here to gather enough knowledge and here they don't judge and it's very easy to learn hear and this are part of the reasons why I said it is a great opportunity to be here the information alone here you won't get it easily talk of the interaction because when it comes to warning against scams and what decisions to take when it comes to cryptocurrency, and it's a place that all opinions count and it matters and if you are wrong about something they will definitely correct you and a lot of people have given up just because of how they were corrected instead of them to learn because no matter how good you are you will still learn, the truth is you can not know it all. We just have to continue to learn that is like something have hold unto.

[Scarlett_23]

If you want to learn anything, if you know the basics, then that learning is permanent. Similarly, if you want to participate in the forum, then you must gain knowledge about the basics of cryptocurrency. If you know the basics, then you will not be able to work properly in the forum, otherwise there will be a chance of your making mistakes. Once you know the basics, start working slowly. Don't rush too much. Don't talk too much about sheet coins and trading. Make sure your wallet is safe.

This is a classic example of why trusting someone is a bad idea in this era. Even those who pretend to be your friends or well-wishers will stab you in your back when they get the opportunity. This is why I always advise people not to trust anyone, especially when it comes to things that involve money, because money is everything for the majority of people in the world these days, and one can go to any extent to get some extra funds even if they have to deceive a friend or even a relative.

I even avoid discussing things related to finances and my sources of income or how I store my money with friends or relatives because I don't feel safe doing that; it's as simple as that. No one except me knows where my money is, how much I earn, how much I spend, etc. This gives me peace of mind because you won't have unnecessary problems in your life this way.

Believe it or not, money does create unnecessary problems in your life when you have it and let people know about it. Those who are close to you and aren't financially stable will get mad that you are not supporting them financially, and those who aren't that close will try to find ways to get to your funds.

You must have gotten the answers to the questions you asked. But will add a little to what others have already said. Although, this is the right step to take as a newbie. However, Bitcointalk is a great community and everyone in this Bitcointalk community bate here to learn and share their thoughts with each others. There are a lot of benefits in joining this community because you would learn  many things if only you keep to the rules. You also need to take your time and learn the forum.

Simple use your ability to understand the discussion and learn something that can be discussed together by relying on knowledge. Most beginners who come here do not show interest in reading so they discuss based on irrelevant knowledge and instead maintain arguments only based on their own abilities without comparing according to data. No plagiarism and create something interesting based on research and try to appear in a more focused and substantial discussion.

There is a lot of information that can be learned and taken according to your interests and abilities, do not force yourself to look smarter because a wise person will continue to be humble and will prove himself knowledgeable in the ongoing discussion and only in that way can we improve our skills wherever we are.

[Kateryna0519]

Hello everyone! I'm Kat, I just joined BitcoinTalk, I'm very interested in Bitcoin and blockchain technology, and I've been learning about it.
I am currently researching some Bitcoin investment strategies. I hope to learn more from here. I am also looking forward to sharing my experiences, opinions and interesting discoveries with you!
I've been investing and trading BTC for a few years, and I'll share some key points that newbies need to pay special attention to:

1. Only invest money you can afford to lose, make sure you invest an amount you can afford, and avoid market fluctuations that affect your quality of life.

2. Do sufficient research, learn the basic principles of Bitcoin, understand market trends and historical price fluctuations

3. Don't blindly chase ups and downs, the market's emotionality can easily make newbies rush to buy when prices rise and panic sell when prices fall. Have a long-term investment mentality and avoid being scared by short-term fluctuations.

4. Learn to control your emotions, the cryptocurrency market can easily trigger greed or fear among investors, and it is especially important to keep a calm mind.

As a novice investor in Bitcoin, patience and learning are the key!

Looking forward to exploring this potential field with everyone!

I guess every newbie need to have the crypto knowledge to operate in this forum, because that is the tool they can use to operate in this forum to achieve their heart desire to become great in the future. That one is sure for newbies to make mistakes in the process of learning to become perfect because they are part of some of the things that will make newbies know that they know what they are doing in the crypto industry.

After learning the crypto investment, make sure you create a good wallet to hodl your coins because that is what will make you to fulfill your purpose in the bull run but if you use fake wallet to hodl your coins, it will make you to miss your opportunity because scammers will have access to your coins.

A lot of newbie most time fail to understand how the forum works. Though it takes time to learn as everyone was once a newbie.. but when you are active and try to go through most of the post here on the forum you become used to them. So it's nice you asked these questions and as many others have already given you the best advice you can get to help navigate the forum I wish you good luck.. just be consistent and patient, knowledge comes in slow but once it stick, you are good to go..as for trading, make sure you have proper knowledge of it and apply proper risk management...

The knowledge that is available here is something most newbies will not appreciate yet until they get to certain point in their journey in Bitcoin. Many Universities charge fortune for some of the things that are available in the forum for free and even those whose explanation are not already available, it requires just creating a topic and someone with the knowledge will drop them and also drop additional resources for further explanation. This is the part of the forum I find so exciting and treasure so much. Newbies have the opportunity to learn and grow and if they focus on the knowledege, every other thing will become easier.

I will divide your question into two parts, and I will try to answer both parts. When your thread title says what is the biggest mistake you should avoid as a newbie, I assume you are a newbie in the crypto space and this forum as well. So, there are two parts. One is your forum, and the other one is finance and knowledge about Bitcoin.

If you are asking about finance, You should avoid these things;

• Do not store your seed phrase online or digitally. Store it offline, write it in a piece of paper
• Do not use centralized exchanges to store your crypto, for example, Binance (use Electrum and Unstoppable wallet instead)
• Do not connect your wallet to an unknown website, no matter how much money they offer.
• Do not invest your crypto in a doubling scheme or any offer that looks too good to be true
• Never share your seed phrase with anyone

If you are asking about forums, You should avoid these things;

• Do not cheat, [Do not copy-paste, Do not use AI]
• Do not scam

If you follow these, you are good.

Welcome to the forum and you will not regret joining the forum to learn about cryptocurrency, this forum is the best place you can learn about cryptocurrency like investing, trading and other things concerning crypto but what you have to do is be a patient person, if you want to succeed in this forum you have to be patient with everything because that is the reason why some newbie left without achieve what they come here for if you want to become an investor or a trader you have to be patient.

The reason why I keep saying you have to be a patient person is that in crypto there are good times and a bad time, as an investor you need skills and understanding in some areas but the most important thing is patience because if you don't have a patient you will not be to hold your investment for a long period and when it comes to crypto you need to learn how to hold a coin.
