I made my Binance account yesterday. Literally 24 hours ago. KYC done, $0 in wallet, and zero clue what Iโm doing ๐
Everyone says โstart with BTCโ. But I have $0 and Iโm 19. So I started watching videos and reading Square posts instead. And one name kept coming up: Solana, SOL.
Hereโs what I learned in my first 24 hours as a total noob.
*1. My First Confusion: โWhich coin wonโt eat my money in fees?โ*
I opened Binance and saw BTC is $60,000+. ETH is $3000+. My budget is $5-$10 max.
Then I saw SOL is $140. Okay, still expensive. But people in comments said โSOL has the lowest fees broโ.
I donโt have money yet to test it. But if I send $1 and the fee is $4 like ETH, then whatโs the point? So SOL made more sense in my head on Day 1.
*2. โSpeedโ Sounds Cool When You Have No Patience*
Iโm 19. I donโt have patience ๐
I watch Reels at 2x speed.
People say BTC takes 10 minutes to send. ETH takes 3 minutes. SOL takes 1 second.
On Day 1 I havenโt sent anything yet. But 1 second vs 10 minutes? Even I can understand which one is better for a beginner who clicks wrong buttons a lot.
*3. The Scary Part I Saw on Day 1*
Iโm new so I read everything. Including the bad stuff.
People say โSOL network goes down sometimesโ.
Bro that sounds terrifying on Day 1. I donโt even have money in it yet and Iโm already scared ๐
But then I saw people also say โthey fix it fastโ. So I guess no coin is perfect. BTC also crashed 80% in 2022. So Iโll just watch SOL for now before buying.
*My Day 1 Plan for SOL*
Since Iโm 1 day old on Binance, this is what Iโll do:
1. *Earn first $1* - From Learn & Earn quizzes. No money from pocket yet.
2. *Buy $1 SOL* - Just to see how buying works. Not for profit.
3. *Donโt touch Futures* - I saw that button. It looks cool. Iโll ignore it for 3 months.
4. *Watch for 30 days* - Before I put more money, Iโll just watch how SOL moves.
*Final Day 1 Thought*
I know nothing yet. Ask me โwhat is TVLโ and Iโll Google it in front of you.
But if youโre also new, 19, and confused like meโฆ SOL looks like the safest โfirst coinโ to learn with. Low fees, fast speed, and you donโt need $1000 to start.
Old users, please donโt laugh at me. If Iโm wrong about SOL, comment and teach me. Iโm here to learn, not to pretend Iโm an expert.
Day 1 done. Letโs see what Day 30 looks like ๐๐ป
