I love the ideas propposed to be patient, you certainly need patience when dealing with crypto but I think that while they wait, they self educate.

In the crypto industry is complex with many disciplines, miners, traders, investors, stakers or crypto enthousiast i.e. people who use crypto but are none of the above.

I would tell my friend to pick the one area he/she want to learn about i.e. trade, invest or mining and learn everything they can about it before getting involved with any crypto.
