In my opinion, everyone who has thought about diving into the world of cryptocurrency has faced the choice of how to start, independently or together with an experienced mentor?
Let's review the pros and cons together 👀.
Self-study😖
✅ Pros:👍
👉Flexible schedule — you study at a time that is convenient for you.
👉Cost savings — many free or affordable resources.
👉Development of independent thinking — you learn to analyze and make decisions on your own.
👉Invaluable experience — through trials and errors, a deeper understanding is formed.
👉Diversity of sources — you study materials from different perspectives.
👉Formation of your own strategy — you create an approach that best suits you.
❌ Cons:👎
👎Lack of feedback — no experienced mentor for advice.
👎Difficulty of starting — it's hard to orient yourself in the flow of information.
👎Less motivation — without external control, it's easy to lose momentum.
👎Risk of mistakes — without experience, you might waste time or money.
Learning with a mentor😊😊
✅ Pros:
👍Quick start — the mentor helps with the first steps.
👍Feedback — the opportunity to receive advice and correct mistakes.
👍Clear structure — a ready program, no need to gather knowledge in bits.
👍Psychological support — it's easier to overcome fears and insecurities.
👍Opportunity to avoid critical mistakes — learning from others' experiences.
❌ Cons:
👎High cost — personal mentoring often doesn't come cheap.
👎Possible dependence — the student gets used to waiting for advice instead of acting independently.
👎Limitations in approaches — sometimes the mentor imposes only their style.
👎Less flexibility — you need to adapt to the mentor's schedule.
Or maybe you should use a combined strategy.
This is when you start with self-study of basic concepts, tools, and the market, and then involve a mentor for in-depth learning, analyzing your mistakes, and honing practical skills.
