Topic: How do I succeed as newbie. (Read 433 times)

If you are new to cryptography, there are a few things you can do to increase your level of confidence and reliability in your decision making:

Learn the basics of cryptography. Start by learning the terminology and basic principles of how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies work. Many important terms and concepts may not be clear to beginners, so online courses, blogs, forums, and social media communities can be a good source of information.

Don't invest all your money in one cryptocurrency. Diversify your portfolio to reduce the risk of capital loss. Study different projects, their teams, financials and technical specifications before investing.

Never trust your private keys to anyone else. Private keys are used to access your cryptocurrencies, so keep them in a safe place such as cold storage or a secure hard drive.

Explore different ways to protect your funds such as multi-factor authentication (2FA), using highly complex passwords, using hardware wallets like Trezor or Ledger, etc.

Be careful when choosing cryptocurrency exchanges. Study their reputation, regulation and safety. Choose those exchanges that have a high level of security, that regularly conduct security audits and provide protection against hacking.

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Like any other form of investment, cryptocurrencies do not guarantee profit. Never risk money that you cannot afford to lose.

It is good that you are specific, the things you need to do as a new to this forum are a bit similar and slightly different from the things you need to do as a newbie to cryptocurrency. For what you need to succeed in cryptocurrency is Information, Knowledge and some element of mentorship, guidance that can be offered personally by someone or offered via involvement and commitment to forums and genuine groups like this that the main focus is bitcoin and then other general cryptocurrency discussions are also being permitted. To be confident like you want, you need knowledge and information, things you can only get by being dedicated to learning and researching.

The majority of novice users at this time indeed their main goal is to make money from crypto, and it will have an impact on how to get merit easily and so on.
But when we use the old system or those of us who have been here longer than beginners, we feel how the previous system was not too strict, so that users really learn cryptocurrency not because they want to get a lot of money but want to know how crypto works. The merit system is also applied to limit those who just want to play without being serious in the forum, so that it will be easy to be filtered. Newbies who are able to survive and develop can pass the merit system easily, as long as they have the desire to contribute well and get appreciation from other users.
Newbies can only become food for scammers, because as you said, they will be easy to lure into big profits without doing a decent job. when they step into the trap the scammer will start doing his job. The more stupid beginners, the more scammers will set traps.

Success can never be predicted but through making yourself educated and fully acquire the skills that are highly needed, then you will gain higher chances to be successful as time goes by. So learn first the basics and eventually improve your learning along with your experience. And as a newbie, expect that losses will always be inevitable so in order to lessen the risk of losing, always have the risk management and invest only at your own risk.

What you need as a newbie is to learn to get knowledge,  knowledge will give you direction in your crypto journey. Learning will give you everything you need to know about crypto. Your starting point is making a research,  doing this will give you the firsthand information to take decision on your investment and the reason why you need to invest. Sometimes it is difficult  if you are waiting to hear from people how start, go for knowledge which is power and it will drive you to a better direction you want.

In general, the thing that needs to be done from me is to believe in ourselves without ignoring the advice and criticism that can push us to the desired stage.
For example, in trading, we should not be ashamed to ask questions and follow the experience of experienced traders and admit every mistake and be willing to make mistakes as a valuable lesson.

So far, I still avoid things that can deceive myself.

Mistake is the best teacher in crypto space but to limit your chances of messing things up you need to keep learning, since you are new it is better to learn about Bitcoin first and learn more about how to keep your wallet safe from scammers, before anything else, learn about safety first. Don't always feel like you know everything, because knowledge is a never ending road, you need to keep learning and if you have any question in mind that you have not find answer to, do not hesitate to create topic about it on this forum.

First of all welcome to bitcointalk forum. You are a new member of the forum and you have expressed interest to know, of course you will. First of all you go through different sections of the forum and in different sections you will find many posts pinned so read those posts carefully first. And stay active on the forum regularly. Then if you think that you will invest in any coin then read investment related posts well and take investment related information from various online platforms and invest certain amount of money that losing money will not affect your life. Because there is a lot of risk in investing. Investing is not like the hundred percent profit you can get. But to be successful there is a need to take risks.  This way you can slowly move forward in life and hopefully you will learn a lot as time changes.

Always think positively, self-confidence will arise when you fill your mind with positive things. Everyone has their own strengths, you must find strengths in yourself and focus on developing them. Never feel inferior when involved in discussions with seniors in the forum, they will guide you in the right direction when you make a small accidental mistake.
The knowledge you have can be poured here through new topics or replying to other users' comments, courage will shape your character who is still trapped in a circle of lack of confidence. If you have any new ideas or information, don't ever hesitate to share them here.

I am well with your prayers and God's infinite mercy. I always hope that those who come into this cryptocurrency earn something good from here. But to earn here you must follow the rules here. Especially if you are not experienced here you will never get good success here. So you have to have a good experience since coming here. Learn about investing Learn about trading Gain experience and earn money from here too. And lend a helping hand whenever you need help, you will definitely get support from senior members and experienced people here.

Yunno what, read every advice into your head, then to your own discretion -- decide which one to utilize.
I'll say that's you do much of READING and LISTENING than actions at this actual stage. Always make sure about not rushing into any new updates you see; whatever you're investing in should be under proper scrunity by your own self and different authentic reviews from others too.
Don't invest much at first site; try as much as possible not to be thriven by GREED, this is the ONE thing that make alot of peeps fall for major scam projects... BE WATCHFUL.

But if OP come here want to improve his skill about cryptocurrencies and try how to make his account up to higher level will many people give you guidness.

Better up your account first to higher level and there are many ways how to be success start joining signature campaign until explore your skill having and sell here. There are not any instant way become success and your account still newbie need time and hard process if you wanna be success.

What are your goals as a newbie? I'm sure it is not only about being confident. Get knowledge & experience should be the priority, right?
So, make a clear plan for your goals, then you can determine your success as a newbie. Don't make a nonsense goal such as being rich instantly or the like, your goals must be appropriate things to be achieved as a newbie.

You shouldn't be confused about where to start. You can start by reading pinned threads in this section, there are some important suggestions you can find out on the threads. Especially this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-read-before-posting-1689727, it is like a guide for every newbie. You must need it, dude!!

Kindly advise, do more of research about the areas you're interested to learn, BTC is very wide, I don't think anybody has the monopoly ideas of how it operate. There are risk involves,which nobody can talk you out of it. This is internet world google the basic materials about bitcoin, jote down your findings, practically follow the steps in accordance to your findings, then while on research attend seminars, campaigns, ask questions and finally pick someone who is good enough on cryptosystem to stay close to and observe his or her directives and follows suites. With due time you will come up good decision.

It's been said here many times, but people who come to the forum are very often not interested in cryptocurrencies, but how to get merit, how to get rank, how to earn a bounty, etc. This is common far beyond the forum. 9 out of 10 new people coming into the crypto industry don't want to learn about cryptocurrencies, they want to make money from cryptocurrency. No wonder why scams are becoming more and more popular every year. After all, many people don't know how to protect themselves from these scams and expose themselves to the lure of easy money that they will never make.

Don't see making profits on Bitcointalk as your first priority,
Learn about crypto and have an understanding first before even thinking of investing in crypto,
Don't be scared to make mistake else you wont't learn new things,
Don't feel bad if you are been corrected by other members,
Always ask questions from other members on issues you don't understand,
And don't ever invest in crypto an asset  you can't afford to lose, because crypto is 50/50, it's either you lose or you gain...

From my perspective there's only one thing that you should do as a newbie which will attain you confidence as well as knowledge and that is "reading and learning".
Keep reading and learning whatever you can, wherever you can and whenever you can.
This forum is a great place to start and you will automatically know what more to learn when you keep reading throughout the forum.
Keep exploring and that is how you will attain enough knowledge to tackle anything that comes against you.

You are welcome to the forum OP.

If you are in some kind of hurry, to invest, start your journey with Bitcoin, just don't invest with money you will need in a few weeks or months, Bitcoin favours the long-term holders more.  

Avoid altcoins under top 10 and learn about them first, you shouldn't buy something you don't really understand, so focus on Bitcoin for now and learn to use the forum search engine to get quick answered questions and to also avoid creating topics that have been discussed too many times before.

Spend time doing research on crypto wallets, the forum search engine will guide you through. Open source wallets are the most reliable,  Electrum is the best for Bitcoin, if you can't afford to buy a hardware wallet.

Good luck.

I can only advise against investing in something you don't completely understand and against investing more money than you can afford to lose. The forum has a ton of helpful information, so it's best to start by reading the sticky topics in this board that can assist you as a beginner. It's also not a bad idea to check out the Meta board. After that, just start at the top of the forum and scroll down to look for new stuff; you'll eventually find something that grabs your attention.
Nobody should or can make decisions for you, thus you won't discover any sort of recipe for success in life.
