Beginner Tips
- For your first purchase, start with a small amount (equivalent to 100-500 yuan)
- Don't invest all your savings; only use idle funds
- Bitcoin prices are highly volatile; be mentally prepared
- Avoid checking prices frequently after buying to prevent emotional trading
⚠️ Risk Warning: Bitcoin prices can fluctuate significantly in a short period (±20% or more). Beginners are advised to start with small amounts, avoid borrowing to invest, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
