That’s right, a lot of people just come into cryptocurrency without having any knowledge about cryptocurrency, some of them actually joins crypto because of the stories they hear about people making money from cryptocurrency, they just think they can also earn from it by just investing without carrying out research or knowing anything about it.
Firstly, a person new to cryptocurrency should understand the risks associated with it and that it is not a get rich quick scheme because that is what new investors think of cryptocurrency. Due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies profit is not always certain and it has a 50/50 chance of either profit or loss. To be successful in crypto one needs to understand it to some extent and be able to apply those knowledge in order to be successful. People new to cryptocurrency should first and foremost seek for knowledge before investing any amount in crypto and also they should only invest an amount they they can afford to lose.
How to protect their wallets and assets against frauds should also be taken into account, as this is one of the biggest risks that novices in the cryptocurrency space face in their early days. There are several threads on this forum discussing how to protect ourselves from scam attacks; if you browse around, you can find some useful information.
This happens a lot but sometimes learning the hard way is the best way to learn. No one in their right senses will indulge in anything without having knowledge about it so investing without knowledge and losing their money will teach them a lot, it will teach them not to rush into things they are not knowledgeable about. I will cost them nothing to ask experts for guidance on the basic concepts of cryptocurrency and how to embark on their crypto journey.
