Being an expert or "full participant" in cryptocurrency space is mostly not about downloading apps and social media apps. You don't become a crypto expert that way. Just bear this 4 things in mind.

1) Update yourself everyday on latest crypto news and trends. And latest crypto crimes, it will expose you to the latest crime in crypto space and how to protect yourself.
2) Never store your phase phrase online or screenshot them. Write it down manually and secure ot properly.
3) Check any links before clicking or downloading. Some could be phishing.
4) There is no free"bitcoin" now. Be careful if anyone promise you that.
