1. Basic crypto knowledge
You should have explained this point a little bit more, like what types of definitions a person should memorize or read, to what extent a knowledge of crypto is declared as basic. So that things would remain easy for the newbies. For example, knowledge of seed phrases, what are they, our funds are not stored on wallet but on seed phrase, how to recover, etc. custodial and non-custodial wallet, etc. difference b/w CEXs and DEXs, what's swap and bridging, etc. and there is more I can add to this list. Actually I am working on the same kind of post, will bring it here soon.
3. A secure wallet for storage and other DeFi trades
What makes a wallet secure, user's action and secure network. There is more on the list but these two would be enough. Well, a user of wallet should know what kind of scam occur in cryptosphere that's the only way to avoid all of them. So for that proper knowledge of the past scams, and the updates on them are necessary for the user to know.
Which of these do you think is not necessary or what else should be added as per basic tools?
Feel free to join the conversation...
I don't think a mentor is that necessary in crypto because after learning all the above points you mentioned a person might not need a mentor. All he need a community where he/she can share his/her Q&A.
