Not at all. The first thing anyone getting into crypto should do is buy BTC. Play around with it, send and receive it, install a wallet, maybe do some RPC. Everything in the space is based on understanding core #Bitcoin concepts.

Many can stop there. But then next step is ETH. https://twitter.com/R_Tyler_Smith/status/1339595410466250759
Step 2 is to buy some ETH, install a wallet like @MyCrypto, send and receive a bit, view the transaction on Etherscan, put a *small* amount of ETH into Metamask, use it to play around with apps listed on http://defipulse.com , and register a domain on http://ens.domains .
Step 3 then varies based on your interest.

Developers should create apps, using BTC, ETH and other L1 chains, as well as crypto-adjacent tech like IPFS and dweb tools.

Investors can look at @MessariCrypto and coinmarketcap to figure out if they can beat BTC & ETH. Most won't!
