Myth vs fact
Myth: You must buy crypto to understand crypto.
Fact: You can learn concepts, safety, and design with mocks and reading first.
Use this site’s safe path
1) Read a Learn module. 2) Ask Lighthouse a plain question. 3) Run the full educational loop with a non-money badge idea. 4) Open the mock receipt. 5) Optional: create a hash proof of existence — still not a token.
Rules that keep you safe
No seed phrases on websites. No guaranteed returns. Prefer non-transferable educational badges. Treat mainnet money as advanced mode.
Takeaways
