Nice, but I would like to reiterate some of the points you highlighted.
(1) DYOR (Do your own research) always verify the legitimacy of a project or platform before investing your money and time
Very important, always do due diligence before committing your funds in any project.
(5) Use trusted exchange and wallet.
Use trusted exchange to trade and not to store funds. Also, use tested and trusted open source wallets like electrum, blue wallet, unstoppable wallet etc.
(6) Don't rush: Take time to make informed decisions, and don't let anyone to pressurize you into acting quickly.
Don't give in to pressure from anyone or take advice from social media influencers, they are only working to their pockets, they careless if the project succeeds or not.
