Tips for New Crypto Investors
Start Small
Only invest what you can afford to lose. Start with a small amount to learn how everything works.
Enable 2FA
Always enable two-factor authentication on your exchange account for extra security.
Learn About Wallets
For long-term holding, consider moving ETC to a personal wallet where you control the keys.
Beware of Scams
Never share your password or seed phrase. No legitimate service will ever ask for these.
