When I first got into crypto, I just wanted a platform that didn’t stress me out

When I first entered crypto, my biggest issue wasn’t lack of knowledge — it was fear of making a mistake.

Too many platforms, too many features, and the more I read, the more hesitant I became.

So I set a simple rule for myself: use something that feels calm, not overwhelming.

That mindset led me to try BYDFi.

My first impression was pretty neutral — not flashy, not intimidating.

I could understand where things were without worrying that one wrong click would mess something up.

I started with basic buy/sell only.

Spot, derivatives, and copy trading are there, but nothing is forced.

That “move at your own pace” feeling mattered a lot as a beginner.

I also tried copy trading mainly to observe market behavior,

not as a shortcut to quick profits.

I don’t believe in “100% safe” platforms,

but day-to-day use (logging in, trading, withdrawals) felt stable and predictable.

Not a recommendation post — just sharing what helped me take the first step.

When you started crypto, what held you back more: choosing a platform or placing your first trade?
