The path

No degree or license exists. The people who last learn slowly and protect their money first.

  1. 1

    Learn the basics

    1 to 2 months

    Wallets, exchanges, fees, stablecoins and how scams work, from free material.

  2. 2

    Buy a small amount and move it

    1 month

    Practice sending to your own wallet with tiny sums so mistakes cost little.

  3. 3

    Trade small, without leverage

    6 to 12 months

    Real money, small size, and a record of every trade for taxes and learning.

  4. 4

    Test your record

    1 to 2 years

    Compare your results with just buying and holding bitcoin. If you are not beating that after fees, trading is costing you.

  5. 5

    Scale only with proof

    Years

    Most people who succeed kept a job for years and never risked money they needed.
