how do you even start with crypto?

I’ve been interested in crypto for a while, but honestly it feels really confusing. There are wallets, exchanges, coins, tokens, NFTs, and everyone online seems to have a different strategy. I want to learn how it works without losing money, and maybe even start investing safely, but I don’t know where to begin.

For those who started from scratch, what’s the best way to get into crypto? Did you focus on learning first, start with small investments, or follow another approach? Any tips or resources that actually helped you?
