You have just registered on Binance and are overwhelmed by thousands of tickers? Let's figure out where to best place your first funds so you don't lose them on the very first day.
1. Tokens (Utility Tokens) — The Golden Mean
These are assets that have real utility: access to services, voting rights in the project, or the ability to earn passive income (staking).
Examples: SOL, DOT, LINK, BNB.
Why for beginners: They have the technology and team behind them. Although the risk is higher than with 'grandpa' Bitcoin, they have the potential for stable growth.
Tip: Choose projects from the top 20 by market capitalization.
2. Memecoins — Emotional rollercoasters
Created for jokes and hype. Their price depends solely on how loudly they are talked about on social media.
Examples: DOGE, SHIB, PEPE.
Why for beginners: High risk! You can earn 100% in an hour, or you can lose everything.
Tip: Invest in memes only with money that you can afford to lose completely. Always check the project to avoid falling for a 'scam'.
3. NFT — For collectors and aesthetes
You are buying a unique digital artifact (picture, music, or game item). It's not just numbers on a balance, but a right to ownership.
Why for beginners: It's challenging. NFTs are hard to sell quickly (low liquidity), and their value is very subjective.
Tip: Buy NFTs only if you like the object itself or understand the value of the community behind it.
💡 Verdict for starting:
If you are new to the exchange, the ideal formula is: 70% in fundamental coins/tokens and only 10-20% for experiments with memes or NFTs.
