After entering the crypto world, many people make similar mistakes. Today, let's break down some of the most common thinking traps.

First, let's talk about the first big pitfall - treating making money as the only goal. When beginners first enter the market, their minds are filled with these questions: How long until I can double my investment? Is there an expert who can recommend something? Is it still a good time to get in?

But there is a key understanding that needs to be corrected: the purpose of the market is not to help you make money, but to filter cognition. Before you figure out the basic questions of how money enters the market, who bears the risk, and who makes money off you, the more anxious you are, the faster you will lose. This is not to scare you; it is a rule.

The second misconception is even more painful - thinking that being able to operate means being able to make money. Just because you can open contracts, view candlesticks, and understand how to place orders, does that mean you are "beginner"? The reality is far from this. Operating ability and survival ability are two different things. What truly determines whether you can survive is your ability to control your positions, accept losses, and have a clear stop-loss logic. Technology only solves the question of "how to place an order," while cognition determines "whether you should place an order."

The third pitfall is the eternal pursuit of certainty. Newbies love to ask, "Is it stable to buy this now?" But the cruel reality of the crypto world is: certainty is the most expensive thing. When you find that everyone is discussing a certain coin, market sentiment is highly consistent, and it seems like there's no way to lose, you are often not far from the riskiest peak. Conversely, real opportunities often appear at moments that very few care about, that seem uncertain or even make people hesitate.

So what should beginners do first? Here are three suggestions: First, survive; don't think about getting rich overnight. Second, understand the logic and risks clearly before learning operational skills. Following this path is the correct way to survive longer in the crypto world.
