What mistakes do new crypto traders make first, and which are just stories?

Research question: What mistakes do people who start crypto trading most often make in their first month, according to educators and first-hand accounts, and which are labeled as anecdotes?

The records show one common beginner error: sending funds to the correct address on the wrong network, which can cause final and irreversible losses ¹. The available facts do not list any other first-month mistakes, so the question is only partly answered ¹. Nothing in the facts labels any item as an anecdote or separates educator guidance from first-hand accounts ¹. The only source is dated 2026, so it is reasonably current for October 2026, though no exact month is given ¹.
