Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much money do I need to start buying crypto?
Not much at all. You can start buying cryptocurrency on exchanges with as little as a few dozen USDT — see How Much Money Do You Need to Buy Crypto for the First Time? for exact minimums and a first-budget recommendation. We recommend starting with a small amount to practice the process before considering larger investments.
Which exchange should beginners choose?
For most users, Binance and **** are the two most popular choices. Binance has the largest trading volume globally, while stands out with its Web3 wallet and copy trading features. We recommend registering on both and choosing based on your personal experience.
Do I need a hardware wallet?
If your crypto holdings exceed $1000, we strongly recommend purchasing a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. For smaller amounts, you can safely use an exchange account or a hot wallet like MetaMask.
Is cryptocurrency investment safe?
Cryptocurrency itself is secure (built on cryptography and blockchain technology). Risks mainly come from: private key leaks, clicking phishing links, participating in scam projects, and falling for high-yield promises. Most risks can be avoided through systematic learning and cautious operations.
What is KYC and why do I need it?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is the identity verification process required by exchanges for regulatory compliance. Legitimate exchanges require KYC before you can deposit and trade. Always use your own real identity information — never buy or borrow someone else’s account.
