Beginner safety checklist

Check these warnings before taking action.

This guide is educational. It cannot remove all risk, but it helps beginners slow down and avoid the most common traps.

Later on the CD24 YouTube channel, every warning below will have a short beginner video.

01BTC

Seed phrase scams

Never type your seed phrase into a website, form, chat, email, or support page. Write it offline and keep it private.

Rule: no one needs your seed phrase.
02ETH

Fake links and ads

Search results, ads, Telegram links, and X replies can lead to fake wallet, exchange, or airdrop pages.

Rule: type official URLs yourself.
03USDT

Fake support

Scammers pretend to be wallet, exchange, or project support. Real support should never ask for private keys or seed phrases.

Rule: support never asks for secrets.
04SOL

Profit promises

Guaranteed returns, “double your crypto,” secret signals, and pressure to act fast are major warning signs.

Rule: guaranteed profit is a warning.
05BNB

Wallet approvals

Connecting a wallet can approve risky permissions. Only connect to trusted sites and learn how to revoke approvals.

Rule: check before you connect.
06XRP

Test first

When learning, start small. Send a tiny test transaction before moving larger amounts.

Rule: small test first, bigger later.
