If you are a newbie in crypto world you are bound to make some mistakes but this thread is for you on how to avoind making those mistakes
1. You dont want to skip the learning part- You need to have an idea of what youre going to even if it is to make a research about it. You have read about an asset before you invest in it to know exactly what they are building.
2. You want to avoid using the wrong crypto exchanges. This is one thing you want to avoid because it can make you lose all your assets. You need to research about the exchange before even registering. Some exchanges have fake volumes and are not transparent enough.
3. You dont want to rely on a single coin- Diversification is very important when it comes to investment. You dont want to put all your eggs in one basket.
4. You want to avoid the fear of missing out (FOMO)- When you see everyone buying a trending coin you dont jump in, it might too good to be true
5. You dont want to forget the basic security. Keeping your private keys safe is very important. As a newbie you should understand how important private keys are. Also 2 factor authenticator shold be added to all your exchanges
You have listed core mistakes that a newbie must avoid when investing in crypto currency, and you focused more on exchange and learning. For some reasons, i feel investing in a token requires research, not just the read whitepaper type of research, but core deep insightful research that gives you quick answers about what type of project or developers you are dealing with.
Also, when you say fake or low volumes; believe me those are not enough reasons to call a project bad o inadequate; it merely could just be a bad phase in the developmental stage of the said project; which is why i stated earlier that insightful researching is important. Imagine investing in a coin when it is so cheap and low on volume; then selling in profit when it gets listed on another exchange and builds up volume? Example would be kardiachain and pixby token.
My recommendation though is that, it is your investment, your funds, dyor and invest accordingly. Also, stay in line and always pick up your profits when they appear.
that's a pretty good info to know.
