I have made a bold decision to start my bitcoin journey. But just like every a new born baby needs close care and attention to grow I really don't want to make a mistake in any thing I am doing. I have this question to ask.

You do not need a mentor but you can learn from what the experienced users of this forum posted because some mentors in the cryptocurrency space only mislead the followers and use them as a ladder to their success.
If you must invest in crypto, focus mainly on Bitcoin, how to do transactions, and also secure your crypto wallet.

That's what I think, too. Who needs a mentor when you have the privilege to read the opinion of hundreds os crypto veterans in this forum? And, as the talk is public, almost no one with a reputation to maintain will lie to you, so you can forget about the trust factor (not Trust with capital letter, btw, which is always interesting to check).

As most members told you, DYOR, and I would suggest to start little by little, while you gain confidence. I hope you a beautiful crypto-journey.

So try whatever it is yourself first, take it slow, if you get stuck then ask someone or your friend who is more expert. So, with independent efforts at the start and if you have failed several times, there will be specific questions from you that you should ask your mentor, as long as the mentor has experience and morals in providing guidance to you. because at the end of the story the object is talking about profits and losses in investment (for example, you want to invest in BTC)

Yes. He will answer it and it will be very easy to explain it to you because his mentor was also small and crawled before becoming an expert. But what you have to remember is that a mentor is like a driver who directs you to your destination towards success.

Many newbies has loss a lot of things based on they depended upon mentor online that lead them to frustration, because they paid all their attention to mentor without be active in the forum or reading cryptocurrency books. If you want to make the journey easy, ensure you always read some of the legendary and Hero members comments, and I believe it will help you to grow well in quality Post and other things in the community.

It is recommended to have a mentor who can accompany you while you learn about crypto, but it is optional because with the ease of internet access, you have, you can search for more information from the internet.
You can have a mentor, but you should not depend too much on him because he also has his own life to which he needs to pay attention.
You can ask him but give him space to take care of his life because you also need to grow while you are learning about crypto.
Choose a mentor from people you know closely so that he doesn't expect anything in return but because he really wants to share what he knows about crypto.
And that's not easy because most people who are asked to explain something won't want to explain it in detail and we have to be more active in looking for more information.

Well, if there's someone willing to guide you (someone you personally know), that's better. But if you're going to pay for the service then it's not ideal. A mentor is not necessary to start your journey in Bitcoin since everything a newbie needs to know can be done if you exert an effort to do your own research.

Plenty of articles are on the internet (just choose a reliable source), full of information about Bitcoin. Hence, make reading a habit to gain knowledge. And of course as others have said, this forum is a reliable source of information, not just for Bitcoin but for crypto in general.

Since you are a newbie and you have a lot of interest to know about Bitcoin, you need to learn about Bitcoin. The first advice I will give you is that you should never go into investing until you have gained knowledge about the Bitcoin market. Investing can be profitable when you gain complete knowledge about Bitcoin and get good education. Also you never invest in alert coin expecting high profit, it will be risky for you so you avoid it invest bitcoin. Since you are a newbie in the crypto space, you should note and read all the guidelines thoroughly so that you can move forward in the future. Also you must be from a country, so I would suggest you that this forum has local boards for all countries. So you go to your local board and post there and there are various guidelines made in your language, read them surely you will gain knowledge soon.

Most online mentors will work for their own profit. I know there are no services as a mentor, but what I mean is everyone will try to use you to get some commission. Start reading more and more and gather more knowledge from various sources. If you know how to search, you will likely get some good results. The first thing to do is select a reputed non-custodial software wallet.

Learn how not to get hacked or tricked. Do not rely on exchanges to keep your Bitcoin. Please do not use them as a wallet. If you have questions during your bitcoin journey, do not hesitate to ask in this community.

It depends on you dude, if you are the type of person who is indecisive and always confused about something then you need a mentor who will always give you direction which is one of the best. but if you are steady, and always walking forward, then you don't need that. It's all about control where you can't handle it yourself. Mentors also need to be given money, He doesn't feel good if you always ask, but never give him something, which gives him the pleasure of always giving you direction. If I were you, I don't need that, because you are already here and have always answer your question if you don't know about bitcoin.

One thing that I learned from a podcast is you need to find a mentor who could teach you, I mean its probably not going to be a direct mentor but if you're just going to do it by yourself it is going to be difficult and you're going to make a lot of mistakes at first which is pretty normal since we all make mistakes, but there was a way to avoid making mistakes If you're going to find a mentor or probably research about it, ask someone about it first you could probably learn from their mistakes avoiding possible mistakes that you could do in your investment.

I mean it's a good thing that we are in the forum because we have a lot of discussions and I think its already similar to finding a mentor because you also learning and they are teaching you how you going to execute, so your surely gonna need a mentor but it doesnt really need to be a personal one or only one mentor, you could ask here in the forum, which is the answer by a lot of experience member that could easily teach you what their experience is.

I've read Alot of comments and I think you've gotten all th best answers you deserve and you should be well grounded and doing your own research despite any thing you hear or see has always been the best and I will always encourage you to do your research irrespective of who broke the news to you.
As long as cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is concerned, I think the forum is already enough mentor for you to ask whatever question that might be complicated to you and I'm sure there are already enough generous people and users out here who will be willing to guide you without a dime from you.

In anything we are doing, we need someone that can guide us to make everything easy for us and to be able to learn faster. So when you are planning to join the crypto space, if you have someone that can guide you, then it’s also a good idea, but you also need someone that’s kind of reliable. Also, because you have a mentor who is going to guide you, that does not mean you should depend on the person alone. Make sure you still do more research and accumulate knowledge about crypto by yourself. There are things that you are supposed to hide from your mentor, like your private key. No one can be completely trusted.

If you can do it on your own, there is no need for a mentor but if you do research and the idea about Bitcoin is still vague, then I think that is the time you need someone to teach you.

The best way is to do it alone, but as a newbie, it won’t be easy, and it might even increase the way in which the person will lose, so if there is someone to guide, then things will be easier, and since the mentor has experience already, then things will go easily. But if there is no one to teach the OP, then he will still have to learn it the hard way.

Getting a mentor is not a bad thing because it can speed up the time of learning since knowledgeable and capable gurus are able to teach things that are really needed in your Bitcoin journey especially when you are into Bitcoin trading. having a person to teach us all about of trading can help us to digest knowledge easily since they can explain things to us in a simple form.

I could say that learning about Bitcoin is easy as we can a lot of information online but some of this information is not true. We can find it by ourselves but having a mentor is not a bad idea either provided that you never have to pay him/her huge. The advantage of having a mentor is to make you learn faster and guide you directly to what you want to know but still, the results may vary depending on how you understand the market and your decision-making.
But if I were you, I'd rather not spend money for having a mentor instead, I use it to invest in Bitcoin. Beside, through experience, we can learn more.

Having a mentor as a guardian in bitcoin is not actually a bad idea but at same time it can also make you lazy and limit your knowledge at same time make f not well managed. Some newbies by virtue of having a mentor grow lazy as they depend on acquiring every knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency from their mentor that they don't give much priority to the DIYOR principal that is potent to broaden their bitcoin knowledge beyond where their mentors' knowledge ends.
Another negative effect of searching for a mentor is that you could fall into the wrong hands and naivety may be taken advantage of in scamming you. So as newbies make the internet your mentor followed by the bitcointalk forum you've found yourself in.

Better do not underestimate anything about scamming even the most knowledgeable ended getting In involved in one or two. Because as the technology advances so do they. Just like the advice at top, do your research and ask questions but stay away from people willing to help you in your PM. A genuine help would come publicly except other wise

I see, PMs...
Yeah, put a thought on that as I think here in this forum things should be publicly posted as to give hints on the others too. Still wondering whether there are still people getting fooled by the basics? Ain't that a common knowledge before you enter the internet? LoL

I have done some reading and checked other stuff here,but it seems more people are quite addictive on casinos so maybe, I might get a hang of making an app based on what I'm seeing. A long way for me to go before these happens Grin

You should first get knowledge from different mentors and do not rely all on your knowledge because sometimes, you are taking one thing for another and get into confusion and the doubts and queries in your mind during your own research will be there and will become a problem for you. So to overcome them you do need a mentor

But mentors are not free, you might get answers to your 1 or 2 queries on YT or any Fb Channel in the comments but if you have more than 1 or 2 queries then you do have to buy a paid membership of some good mentor. But be careful in cryptocurrency, not every mentor is the one who they are telling you they are.

You have to be smart enough to judge a good one, try to do some research on google on how to find a good mentor, and then try to search differently on Social media.

-MNaz

There are many ways to scam you most especially a total newbie, yes the first scam can be from request by the scammer to have you pay for services that are actually free but that isn’t the biggest threat. The threat is when the person or probably scammer guiding you set u up to give them things like seed phrases or keys which automatically make them co-owner of your wallet. Someone without knowledge would gladly do that even though it seems a trick that can be dictated by a pro.

Better do not underestimate anything about scamming even the most knowledgeable ended getting In involved in one or two. Because as the technology advances so do they.

You are asking a very dumb question, Your question must be like which mentor should I follow in my Bitcoin journey. And you are in doubt, that whether you should have a mentor or not. I mean, in all fields of the universe, a mentor (a loyal and good one) is like a BTC to early adopters. You should find one and when you will find a good one try to refer it to other newbies too.

It is not like, that hard to find a good mentor, but in the BTC sphere, you will come to face many fake mentors who will pretend like they are better than anyone else and you only need them. And in the end, they will be the first to scam you with your money in the form of huge fees.

It is better to not rely on mentors fully, try to educate yourself by making your own efforts. Because spoon feeding is not going to work in the BTC era. You have to make efforts on your own. And you do have to leave your comfort zone.

In the process of seeking for advice, some people may want to scam you, avoid people and make research yourself.

Appreciate the thought here but, just like me, as a student, I really am seeking for help just like the author as I intend to learn how crypto works on backend as I saw the history its kinda mindblowing and I'm really too late for it...
So as a headstart, hmmm maybe a few can help, ...

I’m with _act_ on this one: the more context and content you can absorb through reading (or viewing) material, the better, thus narrowing down the uncertainty to levels you can probably get to resolve through Q&As here out in the open (and not through PMs for the most).

I sometimes or maybe some, most of the times rather, or just me being lazy, IDK. But reading ain't be enough for me to understand the whole thing especially when it comes to loops 'n hoops
