Top 5 Mistakes New Crypto Users Still Make (And How to Avoid Them) 🚀
Crypto looks easy until mistakes start costing real money. New users still repeat the same errors, even in 2026. Here’s how to avoid them 👇
1️⃣ Chasing hype instead of research 🔥
Buying tokens just because they’re trending often ends badly.
👉 Fix: Always check use case, team, and on-chain data.
2️⃣ Ignoring wallet security 🔐
Saving seed phrases online is a disaster waiting to happen.
👉 Fix: Write it offline and never share it, ever.
3️⃣ Overtrading & emotional decisions 😵

Memecoins vs Utility Tokens: Who Survives the Next Cycle? 🚀
Every crypto cycle revives the same debate: memecoins or utility tokens, which ones actually last? Memecoins thrive on hype, community energy, and viral momentum 🐶🔥. They can deliver explosive short-term gains, but when attention fades, most lose relevance just as fast.

🔐 Passkeys vs 2FA: Protecting Your Crypto Accounts
Your crypto is only as safe as your login. Here’s the simple difference
🔑 What is 2FA?
Login with password + extra code
Code comes from SMS or authenticator app
Better than password alone
❌ Can be hacked via SIM swap or phishing
🆕 What are Passkeys?
No password needed
Login using fingerprint, face, or device lock
Works only on your device
✅ Phishing-proof & more secure
⚔️ Passkeys vs 2FA
Security: Passkeys > 2FA
Ease: Passkeys > 2FA
Risk: 2FA (SMS) has more risk
🚀 Final Take
👉 2FA is good
👉 Passkeys are the future
👉 Best setup: Passkey
