Beginner guide
How to start learning crypto (with zero money)
A free path for complete beginners: what to learn first, in what order, and how to practise without risking money.
Short answer
Start with safety, not coins: what a wallet and a key are, how scams work, and how fees work. Then practise with a paper-trading account before any real money. All of it can be learned free.
Common questions
Do I need money to learn?
No. Every lesson, quiz and tool here is free. Our paper-trading game uses pretend money.
What should I learn first?
Our ten-lesson Start Here path: wallets, keys, seed phrases, fees, exchanges and scam signs.
How long does it take?
Each lesson takes about 5–10 minutes. Ten lessons in two weeks is a good pace.
I hate reading. Is there another way?
Yes. Lessons have listen mode, flashcards, quizzes, diagrams and games.
