Yeah this asset is unforgiving and that is why buying it comes later, learning how to handle these things like securing a wallet, knowing that transactions are irreversible and that one has to be extra careful when dealing with money in this form.
I can say that someone who does all this properly will become a new type of human who is capable to doing something on their own and not depend on others.
About trading on the market, that is a different ballgame. First one needs to secure their wallet and not store coins on exchanges.
