Just stepping into the crypto world and want to get a good grasp of this territory? Don’t rush in blindly to make a quick buck.

The most common pitfalls happen like this: going all in without understanding anything. How cross-chain operations work, blockchain asset flows, various mechanisms... these basic concepts are often confusing, and following the trend will only get you cut. Do your homework first, then take action—that’s the most basic respect for your own capital.

There’s a lot of noise in the community. Different "gurus" have all kinds of opinions, and their stances vary. Truly helpful insights for your growth are, frankly, things you’ve experienced yourself—lost money, reflected, and learned from it. Don’t be led by screenshots and emotions in the group; communities that help you clarify market logic are worth your time.

One core point: the consequences of all trades are entirely your responsibility. Others’ opinions can be参考, but you need your own judgment system. Without this system, you’ll eventually be driven by the market.

Strategies should be adjusted according to market conditions. Spot trading, futures, options—you can play them all, but the key is whether you’re qualified. Especially futures—if you lack experience, don’t touch them. Staying steady is ten times more important than seeking excitement.

And what about those legendary hundred-bagger coins? That’s not luck, and definitely not gambling. If your basic concepts are fuzzy, just thinking about getting rich overnight will only make you go faster and fall harder.

Honestly: there are no shortcuts in the crypto market. Patience, regular review, accepting losses—these are essential courses. Those who respect market laws, learn while practicing, and slowly adjust their pace are the ones who will survive long-term here.

There are many who rush to get rich, but the ones who truly make money? They move very slowly.

It's really true, going all-in is just waiting to be cut off. I did it early on and lost a lot. If you don't do your homework well, following the trend in buying is all gambling. Without understanding the mechanism clearly, you're just asking to die. The most annoying people in the circle are those screenshot posters and big V accounts who only call out trades; they disappear when there's a loss. Without your own judgment system, you're just a pawn, eventually being spun around by the market. I advise you not to touch contracts; without three to five years of experience, it's just money down the drain. 100x coins? Nonsense. Without basic concepts and just thinking about getting rich overnight, you'll fall even faster. Those who truly make money are slowly grinding; it's not something you get just by rushing in. Honestly, patience, reviewing, and accepting losses are the only ways to survive.

The more you listen, the less you do, the more you lose. That's how it is for most people around me. Don't go all-in blindly, really. Honestly, trading contracts is something you should only do after you understand it thoroughly, or you're just feeding the wolves. There's too much noise. I stopped trusting those screenshots in the group a long time ago. Only your own experience counts. Hundredfold coins? That's just a dream. Without basic knowledge, you'll only lose even faster. Take it slow; being patient is faster than rushing. These words sound like a worn-out record, but no one listens.

That's so true. All my friends who went all-in are now crying. They don't understand contracts but dared to play with leverage. They deserve to be liquidated. This might sound harsh, but contracts are not casinos. Without two years of experience, I advise you not to touch them. 100x coins? Wake up, brother. Those are all survivor bias. Most of them have become worthless tokens. Changing the subject, have you noticed that those who truly break out are the ones who work quietly and never boast in groups? And also, don't be fooled by those "big V" accounts who screenshot and cut the leeks. They are much more ruthless when they take your money than the market. The core message of this article is—survive first, then make money. Anything else leads to hell. The most heartbreaking phrase is "There are many people eager to get rich quickly." Indeed, nine out of ten in the crypto world are just sleepwalking. Slow is fast, everyone. Truly.

Another article advising people not to rush, which is true but no one believes it. Really, I was cut last year this way, without understanding anything, I went all in, and I’m still recovering. Stay away from contracts, really. I’ve seen too many people lose everything in one night. The dream of a hundredfold coin, harder to hit than a lottery, sticking to solid ground is safer. I agree with this theory, but execution is too difficult. When the market rises, who cares about review? Basically, it’s a mindset issue. Not many people can really hold on.
