What did your crypto “week 1” look like -and what would you change?

I’m starting from the fundamentals and I’m trying to learn from real people, not hype or “get rich quick” posts. I’d love to hear how you actually began.

What did you do in your first week in crypto: pick an exchange, set up a wallet, learn security basics (seed phrase, 2FA, phishing), make your first purchase, or focus on reading/learning resources? What was confusing at the beginning?

Also: what’s one mistake you made (or almost made) that you’d warn a beginner about today? If you had to start over right now, what would you do differently in week 1 and why?

I’m not looking for “what coin to buy” -mainly lessons learned and beginner mistakes to avoid.
