One thign I am sure that we cannot neglect as crypto enthusiast is the our need to continually be informed and make good decisions, to be a part of a fast growing and information based space like ours(crypto space) does come with a responsibility that all of us must bear for ourselves and that is to seek knowledge.

As members of this community, relying on our past information would be very shortsighted of us especially when
Scammers are continually looking for new ways to compromise our security and get to us, sudden news can happen that can throw traders off balance or even make us holders to miss out on opportunities to buy cause we were ill informed. Just one wrong move, like clicking on a malicious link or ignoring critical news, can have very negative consequences. Also, the right information can lead to significant gains or safeguard your holdings.

It Is important and for our own good that we dopt a culture of continuous learning and upgrading our selves, by staying informed we would not only protect ourselves, but also increase our chances of success, there are countless reasons why making informed decision is good, but action on this solely is our responsibility and only we can make those decisions for ourselves, yes indeed the community is here to help you, but at times before you know it your already and victim. knowledge is power, and it's up to us to harness it for our benefit.

Forgive me, but sometimes I go into topics like this, it feels like I'm not on a forum about bitcoin, but on a forum of philosophers. Grin

"Whatever you do in this life, you always need to get information, make the right decisions and learn" (Captain Obvious).

Yeah it's very a obvious fact that we need to still talk about cause when you leave the community and go out there and see the kind of mistakes that people make and how they fall into scams and all kind of very obvious traps you would begin to wonder if people are still this dumb, right now I can say even a 10 year old with access to a verified exchange like Binance can start buying bitcoin and he would know so little about security or even the importance of having a cold wallet to store his crypto, most people would never understand the technical part of bitcoin or it's developed, I've tried telling people what prove of work is all about in bitcoin and you would see the look on their faces, even more discouraged, but it's far easier to teach them to buy and to save their crypto and the right way to invest, theses are the kind of things we teach to newbies cause I think it's even far more important to them as new comers than explaining all the big facts to them, just try explaining UTXOs to a newbie and see what I'm talking about.

So I think making post like this is good even if these are obvious facts to you there is someone here that needs them and would be of much help to them, I only wished the OP hD given some good sources of good information for newbies to back up the topic, and even so I still think the topic to be a good one.
