“5 Web3 Mistakes I Made as a Beginner — So You Don’t Have To”
1. I Thought I Had to Know Everything
I delayed starting because I thought Web3 was only for coders or finance experts.
✅ Truth: You can start small — as a community manager, content creator, or even just as a learner.
---
> 2. I Didn’t Set Up a Wallet Properly
I jumped into crypto with no idea how wallets work. I lost access to my first one.
✅ Tip: Use trusted wallets like Phantom (Solana) or MetaMask (Ethereum) and write down your seed phrase OFFLINE.
---
> 3. I Fell for Airdrop Scams
I clicked shady links thinking I’d get “free tokens.” Almost got drained.
✅ Tip: Never connect your wallet to unknown sites. If it looks too good to be true — it is.
---
> 4. I Ignored Community
I thought I could do it solo. But the best growth came from joining real communities and sharing.
✅ Tip: Join X (Twitter) spaces, Discords, and follow people building cool stuff.
---
> 5. I Didn’t Build Anything
I spent too much time watching. Not enough doing.
✅ Tip: Start something. Write, design, learn to code, manage a small DAO, or just blog like this.

💬 Conclusion:
Everyone makes mistakes. The key is to start, learn, and connect with others.
