The cryptocurrency market is again experiencing a period of active growth. Thousands of newcomers enter the world of Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, NFTs, and DeFi every day. But along with new opportunities, the risks also grow.

Here are three main mistakes that newcomers most often make in 2025 — and how to avoid them.

❌ 1. Buying 'at the highs'

Mistake: a newcomer sees a sharp rise in a coin — and buys it when the price is already at its peak. As a result: the market corrects, and the position is in deep loss.

🔍 Example: Buying $BTC at $73,000 just because 'everyone is talking about the new high' — and then sitting in losses for months.

✅ Solution: Don't invest emotionally. Learn technical analysis, read analytics, set target prices for entry, use DCA strategy (dollar-cost averaging).

🔐 2. Lack of a cold wallet

Mistake: keeping all coins on a centralized exchange without a backup plan.

Yes, exchanges are convenient. But your security is your responsibility.

📉 There have been historical examples of hacked platforms or frozen assets (e.g., FTX). And those who did not have access to private keys lost everything.

✅ Solution: Use cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor) or at least hot wallets with your own keys (Trust Wallet, Metamask).

🗝 The rule is simple: 'Not your keys — not your coins.'

📚 3. Lack of DYOR (Do Your Own Research)

Mistake: investing in projects just because they are 'hyped on TikTok/Telegram/Twitter'.

🧨 Risk: running into scams, pump&dump schemes, or 'dead' projects without real technology or value.

✅ Solution: Always do your own research:

  • Read the whitepaper

  • Look at the team and partnerships

  • Analyze the tokenomics and trading volume

  • Check the project's reputation on platforms like CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko

🟡 Summary

In cryptocurrencies, the potential for profit is huge — but mistakes can easily be made. So if you are just starting in 2025:

🔹 Don't buy at the peak

🔹 Protect your assets

🔹 Always analyze on your own

These simple rules will help you preserve not only your deposit but also your nerves.
