What You Don't Need to Know Yet
Skip these topics until you've mastered the basics.
Topics to Skip For Now
Technical Analysis & Trading
Chart patterns, indicators, and trading strategies are for active traders — not beginners. Most retail traders lose money.
DeFi Protocols
Decentralized finance is complex and risky. Understand basic crypto first before exploring yield farming, liquidity pools, or lending.
Tokenomics Deep Dives
Detailed token supply schedules, burn mechanisms, and inflation models matter — but not until you grasp fundamentals.
Altcoin Research
There are thousands of cryptocurrencies. Focus on understanding Bitcoin and Ethereum before exploring others.
NFTs
Non-fungible tokens are interesting but separate from understanding core cryptocurrency concepts.
Mining / Running Nodes
Technical operations that require significant investment and expertise. Not necessary for basic understanding.
Derivatives & Leverage
Futures, options, and leveraged trading amplify both gains and losses. Many beginners have lost everything here.
Price Predictions
No one can reliably predict crypto prices. Ignore anyone claiming they can.
Focus on These Instead
The crypto space is designed to overwhelm you with information. Projects want you to invest before you understand. Influencers profit from your attention. Take your time. There's no rush. The fundamentals haven't changed in years — they won't disappear while you learn.
80% of what you need to know to stay safe and make informed decisions comes from understanding 20% of the concepts. This library focuses on that essential 20%. Advanced topics can wait until you're ready.
