The reality

Crypto doesn't forgive beginner mistakes.

There's no bank to call and no "undo" button. Most people who get burned make one of three mistakes. Each one is avoidable once you know what to look for.

Falling for a scam

Fake support DMs, cloned wallet sites, "double your crypto" giveaways and slow-burn investment scams that look like real trading platforms.

You'll learn: the exact scripts scammers use, and the red flags that expose them.

Losing access or funds

A screenshotted seed phrase, a send on the wrong network, a look-alike address copied from history. One slip and it's gone for good.

You'll learn: bulletproof wallet setup, seed backup and a pre-send checklist.

Buying the hype

FOMO buys at the top, "cheap" coins with huge hidden supply, and markets so thin you can't sell when you need to.

You'll learn: to read market cap, FDV, volume and supply like a researcher.
What you get

A course and a research tool, working together

Learn a concept, prove you understand it, then apply it to real, live market data.

18 step-by-step lessons

Five phases, from "what is a blockchain?" to analysing a real coin. Each lesson unlocks the next, so you build knowledge in the right order and never get lost.

Video + written guides

Every lesson pairs a short video with a plain-English guide full of real-world examples, beginner mistakes to avoid and survival rules.

Knowledge checks

Short scenario quizzes after each section, with explanations, so you know you've actually got it before moving on.

Live Research Scanner

Pull live data for any coin and score it against 12 objective checks across 3 weighted pillars. Your structured second opinion before every decision.

Watchlist + data widget

Search CoinGecko's coin list, check live numbers and bookmark coins you're researching, all without leaving your dashboard.

Built-in glossary

Every technical term is tappable, right where you read it. No more nodding along to "FDV," "slippage" or "gwei."

Every lesson has one job: give you a skill that protects your money.

Free mini-lesson

5 survival rules every beginner needs

Before you buy anything, from anyone, learn these. They're free. The full course shows you how to apply them.

Your seed phrase is the money. Never share it, never digitise it.

Whoever has your 12 or 24 recovery words controls your funds. No real support team, exchange or wallet will ever ask for them. Write them on paper, store them offline, and never type them into a website, a chat or a "wallet sync" tool.

Check the whole address, then send a test first.

Scammers create look-alike addresses that match the first and last characters of ones you use, then plant them in your history ("address poisoning"). Never copy addresses from your history. Check the middle characters too, and send a small test before any large transfer.

"Send first, get double back" is always a scam.

No legitimate giveaway, celebrity or exchange will ever ask you to send crypto to receive more. Urgency, secrecy and guaranteed returns together are the signature of a scam, every time.

Compare market caps, not prices.

A $0.001 coin isn't cheap and a $50 coin isn't expensive. Price × supply = market cap, and that's the real size. Before believing "this coin will hit $1," multiply $1 by the supply and see if the answer is even possible.

Only invest what you can afford to lose, and never in the same hour as FOMO.

Even the largest coins have fallen 75% or more from their peaks, more than once. Size your positions so a drop like that can't hurt your rent, bills or savings, and treat strong emotion as a signal to pause.

That's 5 rules. The course gives you the full system: 18 lessons and a live Scanner.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any crypto experience?
None. Lesson 1 starts from zero and each lesson unlocks only after the one before it, so you learn everything in the right order.
Do I need to buy crypto to take the course?
No. You can complete every lesson and use the Research Scanner without owning any crypto. The course is designed so you learn the safety habits before you put money in.
Is this financial advice? Will you tell me what to buy?
No. PlutoScan is education. We never recommend coins or give buy/sell signals. The Scanner produces a research-readiness score from public data. It's a structured starting point for your own research, not a recommendation.
How is this different from just using CoinGecko?
CoinGecko gives you raw numbers. PlutoScan teaches you what those numbers mean, which ones are red flags, and how to check them consistently, then automates the data checks with the Scanner so your research becomes a repeatable habit.
How long does it take?
It's fully self-paced. Lessons are short and focused, so you can do one in a coffee break or several in an evening. Your progress is saved to your account.
What does "lifetime access" include?
One payment gives you permanent access to all lessons, the Research Scanner, the data widget, the glossary and any future updates to the course or Scanner. No subscriptions, no recurring charges.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. PlutoScan works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet and mobile. Log in on any device to pick up where you left off.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If you've completed fewer than 25% of the course (4 or fewer of the 18 lessons), email support@plutoscan.com within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. See the Refund Policy for details.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. Payments are handled by Stripe's secure checkout. PlutoScan never sees or stores your card details. You'll review your order and create a free account first so your purchase is tied to you.

Stop guessing. Start scanning.

18 lessons, one live research tool, lifetime access, for less than the cost of one impulsive trade.
