In 2025, I officially entered the crypto world. As a complete beginner, I was initially a bit clueless. However, after using a major exchange, I found the entire process to be much more user-friendly.

Starting with spot trading, I followed tutorials step by step—first buying $BTC and $ETH to get a feel, then adding $BNB to test the waters. Honestly, low fees, intuitive interface, and quick customer service helped me get started quickly. I was able to understand market trends without spending too much time.

Over the past six months, I’ve summarized a few core experiences: **First, practice with small funds repeatedly**. Don’t rush to go all-in; small mistakes cost less and keep your mindset stable. **Second, learn to read K-line charts and manage risks**. I set stop-loss and take-profit points to avoid emotional trading—this has saved me several times. **Third, be discerning when browsing community and influencer opinions**. It’s fine to参考 others’ analysis, but blindly following trends is like digging your own grave.

By the end of the year, looking back at my account, I made a small profit. How can I describe that feeling? It was an overwhelming sense of satisfaction! In 2026, I will continue to improve my trading skills, and I believe there will be even more gains. 🚀

BTC-1,25%

ETH-2,35%

BNB-0,51%

Newcomers start making money after just half a year of entry, that's quite lucky. I'm still fluctuating on the edge of losses. But honestly, you handle stop-loss and take-profit more solidly than I do. I tend to be greedy during upward trends, and as a result, I get caught in some pretty harsh traps.

Is it so easy for beginners to get started? You really need to choose the right platform, or you'll suffer heavy losses. This guy is right, don't rush to go all-in. Trying small amounts and learning from mistakes is the way to go. I've fallen into the trap of following the trend before, it hurts. The most satisfying moment to make money is when you see your account flip, hehe. There are too many newcomers who can't read candlestick charts, and this is the easiest way to get wrecked. I think the hardest part is actually controlling your emotions and avoiding impulsive trading. It's easy to say, but hard to do. Stop-loss and take-profit are really lifesavers. Don't believe it? Ask those old-timers who went all-in.

Making a small profit in just half a year? Bro, you need to check out your wallet address. The data shows how many zeros of profit actually count as a "small profit"... Based on my analysis, there’s definitely a story behind this.

Haha, this process is indeed the standard answer for beginners, but very few people actually stick to stop-losses. It's a good point about practicing with small funds. I almost went all-in at the beginning because I didn't have this awareness, and I still feel scared when I think about it. But following big V influencers, to be honest, most of the time you're just listening to stories. You need to have your own judgment.

This beginner chose the right exchange right from the start, saving so many detours compared to my blind exploration back then. I totally agree with testing the waters with small funds. How many people go all-in right away and end up crying with nowhere to cry? Setting stop-loss orders is indeed a brilliant move. Emotional trading is really a killer; I only learned this after losing several times. Following big influencers is the easiest way to crash; you need to have your own judgment. I understand the joy of making a small profit. Keep it up!

To be honest, stop-loss and take-profit are really lifesavers. I lost quite a bit before because I didn't set these two things properly.
