Let’s be real: starting crypto without a plan is like sailing without a compass. If I could rewind time and start from scratch, here’s exactly what I’d do differently — and what you should do right now if you’re just getting started.
⸻
1. Start With Education, Not FOMO
Before putting in a single dollar, I’d dive deep into learning.
• Binance Academy would be my daily go-to.
• I’d spend at least 2 weeks learning about Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, wallets, and exchanges.
• I’d follow thought leaders, not influencers pumping meme coins.
Why? Because the more you know, the fewer mistakes you make.
⸻
2. Begin With $100, Not $1,000
When I started, I thought big money = big returns. I was wrong.
Start small—$50–$100 is enough to feel the market and make early mistakes cheaply.
Focus on learning, not earning. That shift will save you thousands.
⸻
3. Choose Long-Term Assets First
I’d buy Bitcoin and Ethereum first. Not the shiny new tokens.
Those two assets have:
• Strong fundamentals
• Global adoption
• Long-term upside
Build a foundation before exploring altcoins.
⸻
4. Use Binance Tools Early
I waited too long to use Binance’s full ecosystem. Don’t make the same mistake.
• Auto-Invest: Set up small recurring buys.
• Binance Earn: Put idle assets to work passively.
• Launchpad/Launchpool: Explore early-stage tokens with less risk.

5. Track Everything From Day 1
I used to trade blindly. No notes. No strategy.
Now? I log every trade. What I bought, why I bought, how it performed.
Use Google Sheets, or a portfolio tracker like CoinStats or CoinMarketCap portfolio.
⸻
6. Stick With It — Even When It’s Boring
Truth is, most crypto gains come from holding through boredom, not chasing pumps.
The earlier you understand this, the sooner you win.
⸻
Final Thought:
If you’re new to crypto in 2025, consider this your cheat code.
Don’t chase hype. Build discipline. Use the tools. And learn before you earn.
