5 Mistakes Newcomers Make in Cryptocurrency — and How to Avoid Them in 2025"
Introduction:
Many newcomers enter the crypto market hoping for quick profits — and end up losing money. The year 2025 is just beginning, and now is the perfect time to avoid repeating others' mistakes.
1. Buying "on the Hype" Without Understanding the Project
If you are buying a token just because "everyone is talking about it" — you are playing roulette. Research the project: tokenomics, team, goals.
How to Avoid:
Always read the whitepaper, follow the project's activity on GitHub and social media.
2. Ignoring Risk Management
Putting 100% of your capital into one altcoin is almost a guaranteed loss.
Solution:
Use the 70/20/10 rule:
70% — reliable assets (BTC, ETH),
20% — promising altcoins,
10% — high-risk but potentially profitable projects.
3. Using Leverage Without Experience
Many lose their deposits using 10x and 20x leverage on futures, not understanding how liquidation works.
Recommendation:
Trade without leverage until you understand the market. Practice on demo accounts or with minimal amounts.
