New to crypto? Here’s the guide I wish I had on day one.
So you’ve just entered crypto.
Welcome to the most exciting, chaotic, and opportunity-packed space on the internet.
Here’s what no one told me when I started — and what I wish I knew earlier:
1. Don’t chase pumps. Study narratives.
That coin doing 300% in 24h? You’re probably late.
Instead, learn why certain sectors pump — AI, L2s, restaking, DePIN, etc.
Follow trends, not just candles.
2. Learn how to use a decentralized wallet — TODAY.
MetaMask, Rabby, OKX Wallet — choose one.
Set it up, write down your seed phrase OFFLINE.
Most airdrops, DeFi, and NFT opportunities happen off centralized exchanges.
3. Airdrops are not scams — but your impatience might be.
You won’t make $10k overnight.
But consistent actions across chains (Starknet, zkSync, LayerZero, etc.) might pay off big.
Do → wait → repeat.
4. Join a community — not a cult.
Twitter, Telegram, Discord.
Talk to people who are building, not just shilling.
Ask dumb questions. Smart people usually answer.
5. Track your portfolio. Emotionally detach from it.
Use tools like CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, or DeBank.
But don’t stare at charts all day. Zoom out. Touch grass.
Your mental health matters more than your PnL.
Crypto is a game of survival and curiosity.
You’ll lose money. You’ll learn lessons.
But if you stay consistent — you’ll win.
