Take the time you need to read the papers (specially the ones that describe the token, which are callen white papers),
Try Dapps (Decentralized Apps) and everything you can, to earn the token or some of it, before investing your seriously hard made money in the cryptocurrency.
Do not invest in things you do not now and that do not show a good future perspective.
Do not believe in promises of huge potential of valorization, unless you've done your deep research.
Write your Private Keys, or seedphrase, down to a paper, or a notebook (preferably these ones), or, if you want more security, buy a notebook with a pen that only you can read and store it safely. AND DON'T YOU EVER SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE, ANYWHERE!
Most importantly, do not believe in some Musk random tweet, the pump will be huge, but the fallback will follow the same path. So, be careful!
Also, always choose the best and most trusted crypto exchanges, here I list three of the ones that I trust:
Binance:
https://www.binance.me/en/register?ref=EJXH4FYA
KuCoin (The only trustful place where you can buy and trade XYO with safety):
https://www.kucoin.com/ucenter/signup?rcode=1ratrQu&lang=en_US&utm_source=friendInvite
Crypto.com (Having their own token and cashback programs, it is a really good one to try. As a plus, if you follow my link you earn $25 bonus to trade for free, at true cost and no markups):
Use my referral link https://crypto.com/app/wuu5v4jrnb to sign up for Crypto.com and we both get $25 USD :)
My watchlist:
XYO (which you can redeem via COIN app)
https://coin.onelink.me/ePJg/7fe49094
And you can earn more when setting up a BridgeX via a Raspberry Pi 3 b+:
Which you can buy at a cheaper price in here at bangood a trustworthy seller that is based in China:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B ARM Cortex-A53 CPU 1.2GHz 64-Bit Quad-Core 1GB RAM 10 Times B+

NODLE (which you can earn via Nodle Cash app). But Nodle has a thing that the others do not have: It pays you relying on every packet sent or received by your cellphone via BLE. In a world of IoT, where everything is becoming connected, it is really valuable!

GEO (which you can mine via GeoCash):
I'm using GeoCash! Download it here: downloads.geodb.com and use my referral code: JONATASSCDC_PSOKUQ to get some free GEOs!
Why these three? Because I really believe in these three to build a seriously UBI, if you do not know what UBI is, check this youtube video brilliantly made by Kurzgesagt.
