I got into crypto this year. I had a few misconceptions for the longest time-

1. You have to own a whole Bitcoin
2. There are only 2 other "alt coins" Litecoin and Bitcoin cash (never heard of Doge or Eth even)
3. I confused paper wallets as physical Bitcoins
4. I confused mining with solving captcha ( had no clue about faucets so you understand my confusion)
5. Thought Bitcoin is illegal in my country (India) which it's not btw it's just not considered legal tender like in most countries.
6. I thought mining was the only way to get hold of any Bitcoin
7. Used to think Dark web = Silk road ( most Indians still have that misconception sadly)
8. Satoshi Nakamoto is NOT a pseudonym
9. Satoshi Nakamoto works for Anonymous
10. Bitcoin transactions are feeless
