Many people enter the crypto world thinking about getting rich overnight, but the result is often losing everything overnight. I've seen this happen too many times. Instead of rushing to get on board, it's better to first lay a solid foundation.
How to use exchanges, how to operate cross-chain, what are the basic principles of blockchain—these things may seem boring, but they are truly essential courses. Without these basic knowledge as a foundation, every operation you make is essentially gambling. The crypto space is full of pitfalls, and information is especially chaotic, making it easy to be led astray by various voices. Those attractive profit screenshots, recommendations from big influencers, and insider messages in groups look tempting, but you can't trust them blindly. In the end, you still need to rely on your own research and judgment to make decisions.
Getting into the community is very important—not to follow the trend, but to receive authentic information. A good community can help you distinguish what is real market insight and what is nonsense. Stay away from places that only boast and share false data.
Regarding investment strategies, contracts, short-term trading, accumulation, NFTs... each has its own risks and opportunities. There is no absolute right or wrong; the key is to choose what you can master. Just because others make a lot of money from contracts doesn't mean it's suitable for you. Many people's losses start from blindly following the crowd.
What about those legendary hundredfold coins? They do exist, but the probability is very small. To find them, you need a basic understanding of the market, not just luck. Honestly, making money in crypto has never been easy, and many so-called "hundredfold coins" behind them might just be carefully crafted scams.
Learning takes time, and growth also requires time. Being scammed a few times can actually be a valuable lesson—you'll learn how to recognize tricks. Don't blame the rules, don't complain about the market; experts are those who adjust themselves to adapt to the market, not the other way around.
Both theory and practical experience are necessary. Reading ten books is not as valuable as making one trade; practical experience is the best teacher. Finally, don't compare yourself to others—focus on improving your own knowledge and skills. Keep at it, and you will eventually see results. This is the path of cultivation in the crypto world.

Really, two months ago I was still watching a certain influencer in the group hype a coin to a hundred times, and now it's all worth nothing.
Following the trend is the fastest way to go bankrupt, and that's no joke.
Another post advising people to do their homework, let's see how many people can really listen.
Fortunately, I've been scammed a few times before, now I look at the market with a much calmer mindset than before.
Contracts are just something that eats people without leaving any bones, I now only hold coins.

Really, entering the market without a solid foundation is just asking for trouble.
Only after being scammed do you understand the market; now I look at charts with a skeptical eye.
Futures trading can indeed be profitable, but you can lose even faster... you need to find a rhythm that works for you.
A hundredfold coin is just a dream, wake up, everyone.
Hands-on practice is truly more useful than reading ten thousand articles; the experience gained from blood, sweat, and tears is the most valuable.

That's so true. I know a bunch of people around me who lost money this way, rushing to chase the hot trend and ending up completely wiped out.
Basic knowledge really can't be skipped. I was scammed two years ago because I didn't understand cross-chain technology, and now I realize it's not a trivial matter.
Listening to hundredfold coins is fine, but don't take it seriously. Most of them are just the game of the whales.
Practical experience is the most important; theoretical discussions are useless.

To be honest, those who have made money around me are the ones who have survived the initial period of heavy losses.
After being scammed a few times, I finally understood what "paying tuition" means. Instead of blaming the heavens and the earth, it's better to get on the right track quickly.
Hundredfold coins? Uh, all the ones I've seen have resulted in hundredfold losses.
There's nothing wrong with this article; it's just that too many people can't listen.
Instead of reading ten books, it's better to lose some money first and gain a deeper understanding.

That's right, I also got scammed when I first entered the crypto world and only then did I understand.
Getting scammed a few times actually taught me something; now I’m much calmer.
Contracts really depend on the person; I don’t touch them because I can’t handle the mental stress.
Listening to 100x coins is fine, but the chances of actually finding one are lower than winning the lottery.
The most important thing is to think clearly yourself and not get brainwashed by big V influencers.
