🚀 Quick Start Checklist

Your First $100:

2. Buy $50 BTC + $50 ETH

3. Download MetaMask (browser wallet)

Avoid These Mistakes:

• ❌ Investing in random coins first week

• ❌ Sending crypto to wrong network

• ❌ Clicking DM links from "support"

• ❌ Sharing your seed phrase with anyone

❓ FAQ - Simple Answers

"Why do I need a wallet?"
→ Exchanges are like banks, wallets are your personal pocket

"What's a seed phrase?"
→ Master key to your crypto. Guard it with your life

"Which crypto should I buy first?"
→ BTC & ETH are the safest starting points

"How much should I invest?"
→ Only what you can afford to lose completely

"Is crypto safe?"
→ Yes, if you're careful. No, if you're reckless
