🙋 The Crypto 911 | Q&A Thread - 15 Dec 2025

Hey. Breathe. Ask away.

Q: I sent USDT on the wrong network. Is it gone?
A: Maybe not. If you sent from a CEX, contact their support immediately. If wallet-to-wallet, it's more complex—it's likely recoverable but needs technical help. Don't pay anyone who DMs you claiming to "recover" it.

Q: What does 'APY' actually mean? My 800% looks too good.
A: It's Annual Percentage Yield. 800% means your money would multiply by 8x in a year if the rate stayed constant. It won't. That rate will drop fast. Treat insane APY as a short-term bonus, not a promise.

Q: I connected my wallet to a site. How do I know if it's safe now?
A: Go to revoke.cash or etherscan's token approval checker. Enter your address. You'll see all permissions you've given. Revoke anything you don't recognize or use anymore. Do this monthly.

Q: What's a 'burner wallet' and why do I need one?
A: It's a separate, empty wallet you use only for testing risky things—new sites, token claims, airdrops. If it gets drained, your main funds are safe. Make one in MetaMask in 30 seconds. Use it.

Q: My portfolio is down 40%. Do I hold or sell?
A: Nobody knows. But ask yourself: did your reason for buying change? If no, holding might be okay. If you have no idea why you bought, maybe learn from the loss. Never sell at a panic low.

Q: How do I even start learning?
A: Pick one thing. Just one. "How does Bitcoin work?" or "What is Uniswap?" Watch a 10-minute video. Read one article. Then sleep on it. Tomorrow, pick another. Slow is fast here.

👉 If you remember one thing today:
Stop trying to get rich. Try not to get poor. The rest comes with time.

Stay safe. Wallet first, gains second.
