Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about BeginnerCrypto? Here are the answers to the most common ones.
About the Site
What is BeginnerCrypto?
BeginnerCrypto is a free cryptocurrency education website built for complete beginners. We publish guides, exchange reviews, wallet comparisons, and coin overviews — all written in plain language without assuming you know anything about crypto.
Who runs BeginnerCrypto?
BeginnerCrypto is a hobby project by Fastup Media. We're crypto enthusiasts who got tired of seeing beginners get confused by overly technical or sales-heavy content. Learn more on our About page.
Is BeginnerCrypto free?
Yes, 100%. All our guides, reviews, and educational content are completely free. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no hidden fees. We fund the site through affiliate partnerships (see below).
How does BeginnerCrypto make money?
Some links on our site are affiliate links. When you sign up for a crypto exchange or platform through our links, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This helps keep the site free. We're transparent about this: affiliate partnerships never influence our reviews or recommendations. Read our full disclaimer.
Content & Trust
Is this financial advice?
No, never. We are not financial advisors. Nothing on this site should be taken as investment advice. We provide educational content to help you understand crypto — but every financial decision is yours to make. Always do your own research and consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before investing.
Are your exchange reviews honest?
Yes. Every exchange review and wallet review includes real pros and cons. We don't pretend any product is perfect. Even exchanges we have affiliate relationships with get honest criticism where it's deserved.
How often do you update your content?
We update articles regularly as the crypto space changes — new exchange fees, updated regulations, market shifts, etc. Each article shows its last updated date. If you spot something that's outdated, let us know.
Getting Started with Crypto
I'm a complete beginner — where should I start?
Start with our What is Cryptocurrency? guide, then move to Crypto for Beginners. After that, check out How to Buy Crypto when you're ready to take the next step.
What's the best exchange for beginners?
It depends on your location and needs, but popular beginner-friendly options include Coinbase (very easy to use) and Kraken (great security, reasonable fees). Check out our full exchange comparison to find the right fit.
Do I need a wallet?
If you're just buying a small amount, keeping it on a reputable exchange is fine. But for larger holdings or long-term storage, a personal wallet is much safer. Read our How Crypto Wallets Work guide and browse our wallet reviews.
