Want to start learning about Bitcoin from scratch? Here's a straightforward reference.



Over the past 15 years, Bitcoin's price has increased by over 40 million times. From being virtually unknown to becoming a global asset today, this number alone says everything. But for beginners, the real confusion often isn't about what Bitcoin is, but about how to buy it, where to buy it, and how to avoid wasting money.

The main exchanges I frequently use each have their own characteristics. Some leading exchanges offer a wide range of trading pairs and high liquidity, suitable for users with some experience; some compliant platforms have user-friendly interfaces and a comprehensive security system, making them ideal for beginners; and some established exchanges are fully featured with a variety of derivatives, requiring a certain level of experience.

The core logic for choosing a platform is actually very simple—safety first, transaction fees second, trading experience last. Don't blindly chase rebate rates, because a platform that is unsafe or has a poor experience is a waste of time even if it's cheaper. Beginners are advised to start with small amounts, get familiar with the process, and then consider more complex trading methods.

Safety first, I agree, but to be honest, many newbies still only look at the rebates haha

Really, the easiest trap for beginners is being lured into small exchanges by rebate scams, resulting in frozen assets haha Safety is truly a thousand times more important than saving that little bit of fee. I have seen too many painful lessons firsthand Starting with small amounts to test the waters is definitely the right approach. Otherwise, you might get wiped out by slippage right away, and you'll regret it to the end of your life Choosing an exchange is actually that simple, but some people still insist on taking risks for a bargain I go straight for well-established platforms; I’d rather spend a bit more and sleep peacefully

Safety first is not wrong, but the real pitfalls are only discovered at the moment the exchange runs away.

Safety first is really not wrong. I was once exploited because I was greedy for a cheap rebate. Speaking of the 40 million times figure, it sounds exciting, but now we need to adjust our mindset when taking over. Starting small is a good suggestion, but you really need to find a platform that won't drop the ball. Exchanges with strong liquidity do provide a smooth experience, but safety will always come first, and the author is right about that. The easiest trap for beginners is being brainwashed by rebates, only to end up getting cut.

I agree with the saying "Safety first," but to be honest, most people are still tempted by low fees to use small platforms, and then end up losing even more.

40 million times sounds outrageous, but it’s really tempting. Newbies really don’t need to worry about which exchange to choose; safety and reliability are the most important, everything else is nonsense. Don’t get cut by rebates; anyway, just play small amounts. I almost got burned on a certain platform because I was greedy for cheap prices... Getting started should be done slowly; there's no need to rush.

40 million times, it sounds unbelievable but also makes you wonder if it's real or fake. It's right to start with small amounts and test the waters; don't go all-in at the beginning. Safety is really the most important. I've seen too many people get wiped out because the platform ran away before. I really don't trust platforms with high commissions; there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. User-friendly interface? Isn't that what beginners need most? Reasonable fees are the real key. Starting from zero, you still need to do your own research. Honestly, articles like these are a bit superficial.
