Hey there, crypto enthusiasts! If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the wild world of cryptocurrency, you know the first week can feel like a rollercoaster. The excitement, the confusion, and—let’s be honest—the occasional delusions can hit hard. That’s exactly what Binance Intern tapped into with their recent X post: “What’s the most delusional thing you believed during your first week in crypto? 👇” Accompanied by a hilarious image of a guy on a scooter trying to race professional motorcyclists, this post has sparked a wave of laughter and nostalgia among the crypto community.
The Hilarious Image That Sets the Tone
The attached image is pure gold. Picture this: a dude on a scooter, leaning into a turn like he’s in the MotoGP, while surrounded by sleek, high-speed motorcycles. It’s a perfect metaphor for the overconfidence many newbies feel when they first enter the crypto space.
What Delusions Did People Share?
The post invites followers to share their own stories, and the responses (while not fully quoted here) likely range from thinking they’d get rich overnight to believing every token is a golden ticket. Common delusions among new crypto investors include:
- “I Can Predict the Market!” Many beginners think they can outsmart seasoned traders with a quick Google search or a hunch. Spoiler: The market doesn’t care about your gut feelings!
- “All Coins Are Equal!” Some might assume every cryptocurrency is as valuable as Bitcoin or Ethereum, not realizing the vast differences in technology and adoption.
- “I’ll Be a Millionaire by Friday!” The hype around meme coins like Dogecoin or Shiba Inu can lead to unrealistic expectations about quick profits.
These misconceptions often stem from a lack of understanding about blockchain technology and the volatile nature of crypto markets. According to a survey by Preply (mentioned in WunderTrading’s crypto learning resources), up to 60% of new investors don’t fully grasp blockchain, which can fuel these early delusions.
Why This Matters for Crypto Newbies
Laughing at these delusions is fun, but there’s a deeper lesson here. The first week in crypto is like learning to ride a bike—wobbling is normal, but you’ll crash if you don’t learn the basics. Platforms like Binance offer resources to help beginners avoid these pitfalls, and communities on X provide a space to share and learn from mistakes. The scooter guy in the image? He’s us—overambitious but determined to keep going!
