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

[taufik123]

-snip-
My only advice is, never jump into something risky that you are not well-prepared. You will only get frustrated in the end and eventually lost all your money and time for just a wrong decision making.

Now many beginners do that so they will just feel stressed, like trading in Futures which looks easy but is actually a very risky trade.
Losing all their money in an instant and stressing beginners out.

Careful preparation and some basic knowledge need to be learned, don't just apply the feeling system, it won't help anything.
It took me a long time myself to learn what crypto is and how it works.

Hmm, that's pretty interesting!
First of all I am warmly welcome to you for being a new here. After that I will elaborate on your question.
 
The biggest mistake you should avoid as a newbie regarding through the forum is that "don't go against the rules and regulations". It so simple If you follow the rules, no problem can arise for you, but if you cross the rules even a little, there is no place for you here. Especially regarding posting. I have often seen newbies use AI. And they understand that no one knows here on the forum, despite this being not the case, here every step of yours is looked at by a senior, if you are taking the wrong step, then you can be kicked out from here. So be careful

Learning they say never ends, from day one to the last day you just have to keep learning, that's the only way you may be able to avoid certain mistakes and Also be able to rank up when your contributions are becoming very valuable to the forum, even some persons who have ranked up to the legendary level, they still learn at some point, you have something to learn from them and so do they have something to learn from you, you can be sure that with time you will get to know much better about Bitcoin and it's dynamics so you see opportunities around it and probably make as much as you can off it.

You want me to be honest with you? Please don't plagiarized or claim ownership of something you didn't do or write. There are many newbies turn legendary that went from grass to grace and by that I mean account that rank up from newbies after understanding everything about the forum, got all the merit needed only for the account to be ban and you know what happened, they plagiarized when they were newbie without knowing the repercussion only to be investigated about something that happen years back. So don't start on that foot track.

If you want to enjoy this forum, I will advice you to join your local board. You will understand them and perhaps communicate better in the Forum and outside the forum and I'm sure they are going to share you things that are not discussed frequently here and please make sure you are just you, there is no need to suck anyone toe to get anything, the forum is grown by merit, you can get it from anywhere within the forum.

Well from my little experience I think the biggest mistake you can make is actually being in a rush to actually invest on a coin just because of the actual hype of that coin and this is what many newbie have continued to make even with so much warning out. I think there is should be proper evaluation of whatever coin you would think of buying because there are lots of shitcoin out there in the market that is ready to swallow your money.

Here are some mistakes to avoid as a beginner,
1: Make sure you obey all the rules in this community, once you make up your mind to obey all the rules in this community, I think you will be able to grow to achieve your purpose in this community.
2: No matter what ,try to avoid anything that will make you not to learn bitcoin and crypto because once you have the knowledge and skills of decentralized currency, it will be easy for you to contribute positive things in this community, and people in this community will use your quality post to encourage you with merits which you cannot buy from this community or anywhere but you can earn it through your quality post.

1. Don't keep your coins on exchanges
2. Backup your wallets and seeds
3. Don't use Windows
4. Don't use PayPal
5. Read feedback, don't trust anyone
6. Don't open email attachments or downloads
7. Don't fall for get rich quick or High Yield investments/Ponzi Schemes

Finally! Someone advised people not to use Windows, there are many people telling beginners to download a crypto wallet on their Windows PC, I will never tell a newbie to do such because they are not living under my roof, it is easier to break things using a windows PC, how many warnings can newbies keep up with? Don't click on suspicious links? Can they even tell the difference? I don't think so.

The best advice is beginners need open source wallet on their phones as hot wallet, they should learn how to transact using mobile wallets because they are less safer than running wallets on a windows PC, yet the safest crypto wallet for a newbie is open source hardware wallet.

Every beginner must not be lazy to do some diggings on everything Crypto before taking any steps, the truth is mistakes are very common in the crypto space, and dangers are waiting in every corner you can turn to, if you don't seek for answers first you will fall into the wrong hands.

Welcome to the world of cryptocurrency. Let me put it this way, if you want to start an investment don't be pressurized by friends, colleagues, or anyone who claims to be a financial adviser in investment. Learn about it and be well convinced that you are ready and willing to start your investment. This is a mistake that most newbies make when it comes to investment, so it is good that at an early stage you seek for others who have gone through that part to share their experience. I am a victim of starting an investment that was not successful. So i have to learn the hard way and now lucky for me i have been able to grow my portfolio.

In conclusion, do things at your own pace. Don't compete with anyone, don't feel others are way higher than you. With time you will get where you wish to be.
