Am I Ready? A Beginner’s Checklist
A gentle, honest checklist before you buy your first crypto. Nothing is stored.
Runs entirely in your browser. No account, no wallet connection, and nothing you type is sent to us or stored.
A gentle, honest check-in — not a test, and definitely not a green light to buy. Tick what is genuinely true for you.
I understand crypto prices can fall sharply, quickly, and without warning
Not "probably won't" — genuinely can, and has, many times.
I could lose everything I put in and it would not affect my rent, bills, or savings goals
This is the single most important box on this page.
I know the difference between a wallet on an exchange and a wallet only I control
If this is unfamiliar, read Wallets & Security first — five minutes, no jargon.
I know a seed phrase is never, ever shared with anyone — support, "verification", or otherwise
Anyone asking for it is trying to steal from you. No exceptions exist.
I can name at least two common crypto scam patterns
"Send crypto to receive more" and "guaranteed profit" are two good ones to start with.
I understand nobody — including this site — is telling me what to buy
Anyone confidently telling you exactly what will go up is guessing, or lying.
I am in no rush, and I am not being pressured by anyone to act quickly
Urgency is the single most common tool scammers use on beginners.

This checklist collects nothing. Your answers exist only in your own browser and are gone if you clear your browser data. We never see them, and this is not financial advice, a recommendation, or a signal that buying is a good idea.
