Recently, the backend information has been exploding, and the most frequently asked questions from beginners are nothing more than these: "How to manage risk when entering the crypto world?" "What pitfalls are rookies most likely to fall into?" Frankly, I have seen too many beginners get completely wiped out as soon as they enter the market, with their confidence instantly collapsing. Over the years, interacting with so many traders, I’ve discovered a pattern—most beginner mistakes are due to neglecting risk and following the crowd without restraint.



Let's start with the most important thing: adopting the right attitude towards risk. Many newcomers are attracted by stories of "getting rich overnight," and their minds are full of quick doubling. I have to pour some cold water on you: in the cryptocurrency market, those who make money are always a minority; most people are actually losing money. So you must think clearly from the very beginning—only by staying alive can you make money. Risk management always comes first. Profits? That’s something to consider after surviving.

Before taking action, ask yourself honestly: if all my capital goes down the drain, will my life be affected? If the answer is yes, it means your bet is too heavy. Immediately reduce leverage—no room for negotiation.

Another pit to avoid: choosing the platform and the coin. For beginners, the security of the exchange is far more important than low fees. Be sure to go for well-established platforms with a long history, large user base, and good reputation. Never touch small, unknown exchanges. The safety of your assets is the top priority.

Really, so many people lose everything as soon as they enter the market; you still have to protect your principal. That's right, most people are brainwashed by the dream of getting rich quickly, only to be cut off at the knees in the end. Leverage is truly a double-edged sword; beginners using it are just asking for trouble. Never touch small exchanges; safety first, making money comes later. That's just how the crypto world is—greedy people are always the ones who get harvested. And now there are still newbies asking these questions; it seems you need to suffer a few more losses to understand. Platform security is a thousand times more important than low fees; how can some people still not understand this? Can you still live after your principal is wiped out? That's the first question you should ask. Being alive is the key to making money; this is spot on. Many people fail because they don't believe this. Following the crowd usually results in a leek's fate; there's no other way.

It's the same story again. The point is correct, but beginners still have to lose a round before they believe it. Really, the most valuable advice is to reduce leverage, but unfortunately no one listens. Choosing the right platform is correct; small exchanges are indeed deadly. The friends I know have directly disappeared. The moment the dream of getting rich overnight shatters is the hardest to bear; I've seen too many cases. Risk management sounds simple but is really difficult to implement. When emotions run high, everything is thrown out the window. Honest self-reflection is necessary when your principal is wiped out; there's no point in lying to yourself. That's how the crypto world is. You have to stay alive to wait for the next wave. If you die, there's nothing left. Beginners are most likely to overlook leverage. They think they can double their gains but end up getting liquidated in the opposite direction. Choosing the right platform is a hundred times more important than choosing the right coin. When a small exchange runs away, it's too late to cry.

Really, once you enter the crypto world, it's as deep as the sea. Newcomers keep coming in, and waves of people keep leaving. Speaking of leverage, it's truly a tool for cutting leeks. I've seen too many people go all-in and get wrecked. Big platforms are definitely more reliable. I've never even touched small exchanges once; I'm scared.

That's right. A few friends around me just can't stop once they start leveraging, and in the end, they lose everything.

It's the same set again. Nothing wrong with what you're saying, but how many can actually do it...

Honestly, many newcomers are ruined by greed; they only feel happy when they go all in.

It's the same old story, I'm already tired of hearing it. The real money-makers are still those few people.
