6. Ignore the Hype and "Fear Of Missing Out" (FOMO)

You will see stories of life-changing gains. For every winner, there are many losers who bought at the peak. Stick to your plan. It's okay to miss out on a pump; chasing it is how most people lose money.

5. Understand the Major Assets First

Before exploring small altcoins, understand the giants:

· Bitcoin (BTC): The first cryptocurrency, seen as "digital gold" and a store of value.
· Ethereum (ETH): A programmable blockchain that powers most decentralized applications (DeFi, NFTs).
Start here—they are less risky than unknown tokens.

2. Start Small and Only Invest What You Can Afford to Lose

Treat crypto as high-risk speculation, not a guaranteed investment. The market is extremely volatile. Begin with a small amount of money you are psychologically prepared to lose completely. This reduces stress and prevents catastrophic financial harm.
