About MyCryptoStart

MyCryptoStart is a free educational resource for people who are new to cryptocurrency. We explain how Bitcoin, Ethereum, wallets, and exchanges work in plain English — without the hype, jargon, or pressure you find on a lot of crypto sites.

MyCryptoStart is edited by Lucas Almeida, an independent researcher who verifies every guide against the official documentation of each exchange before it is published. Read his full biography →

What we do

We publish beginner-friendly guides and step-by-step tutorials. Our goal is to help you understand the fundamentals first, then walk you through practical tasks such as creating an exchange account, buying your first crypto, and keeping it secure.

Who our content is for

Everyone is welcome, but we write for complete beginners — people who have heard of Bitcoin but do not yet know what a blockchain or a private key is. If you can read this page, you can follow our guides.

Our editorial approach

• We start from the basics and define every term as we introduce it.
• We favor accuracy over excitement. We do not promise returns or predict prices.
• We clearly label the risks of using crypto, because they are real.
• We review and update our guides as products and rules change.

How we make money

Some of the exchange links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This does not change what we write or which products we cover. Read our full affiliate disclosure.
