You don’t start in crypto by chasing profits — you start by protecting yourself.

This course gives you the practical footing to move from reading about crypto to actually using it. You’ll choose how you want to hold your keys, install a wallet from the official page, and set your ceiling so mistakes never grow larger than you can handle. Then you’ll take your first safe step: moving a small amount from an exchange into your own wallet, and confirming it on-chain. Finally, you’ll complete one honest trade — a tiny swap you can explain, verify, and clean up by revoking the window you opened.‍

What You’ll Learn (to start safe and scale later):

• Custody & temperature: If you don’t know who really holds the key — or whether it’s safe or exposed — you’ll find out the hard way when access disappears.
• Installing safely: Miss the official source once, and you could hand your keys to a fake. You’ll learn the simple habit that blocks this trap.
• Crossing the on-ramp: Sending funds without checking is how beginners lose them. Here you’ll practice the safe path: deposit → buy small → withdraw → confirm.
• Protective habits: Shared laptops, random extensions, seed words typed online — all rookie mistakes. You’ll set habits that stop them before they cost you.
• Your first trade, done cleanly: Most newcomers swap, then leave approvals wide open. You’ll learn to see the receipt on-chain and close the window you opened.

What you gain isn’t just a wallet — it’s a routine that keeps mistakes tiny, builds habits you can trust, and scales later without changing anything but the zeros.
