I came into crypto altogether without any particular plan.
Once, a friend was paying for something with USDT, and I asked what it was. Before that, for me crypto was about at the level of: I bought Bitcoin, forgot about it, and one day got rich
Then I decided to try it myself. I put a little money on Binance. And, to be honest, at first I was more worried not because of the exchange rate, but that I might accidentally click somewhere wrong and the money would just disappear.
P2P is a whole separate story. Before the first deal, I probably checked everything about five times. The details, the amount, the name—everything. Then I realized it isn’t that scary, but the habit of checking remained.
And of course, the classic mistake couldn’t be avoided. I saw a coin that suddenly shot up, thought: “Well, that’s it—now or never.” I bought it. Then I think there’s no need to explain.
I’m not trying to constantly rush to get somewhere anymore. If I don’t understand something, I first figure it out, and only then do I press the button. And I definitely don’t trust people from Telegram who promise guaranteed earnings.
Probably the only thing I’d really advise myself at the very beginning is not to rush. There will be another chance to buy. But getting your money back after an ill-considered deal doesn’t always work.
