I would also add an important piece of advice:
"Less nervous and do not give in to panic"


I would add: "A Calm and a reasonable breaks all the waves"
I like modern club music, and I love to dance and meet girls in clubs.

I completely agree with the opinion not to trust anyone but yourself. This rule especially concerns various financial operations and trading.
100%! Sometimes I don't trust even myself. Especially when it comes to passwords and access! :-X

My advice is not to trust anyone and to look for genuine forums like this one where people aren't just posting affiliate links.

In crypto world, nobody is to be trusted.

Nobody is to be trusted all around the world. There is only you and your goals.

Absolutely agree. Emotions can cause real troubles
