Has this happened to you? You see a launch scheduled for “2 PM UTC” and end up missing it because you didn't convert it correctly… then you find out that it already passed 3 hours ago in your zone.
The problem is simple: UTC ( Coordinated Universal Time ) is the global reference clock. If you don't know your time zone difference, you can:
Missing an airdrop for being 2 hours late
Buy after the price has already tripled
Sell in panic when the token is still rising
How to convert quickly:
Type in Google: “[your UTC time] in [your country]”
Use time zone apps
Simple formula: If you are in UTC-3 (Brazil), just subtract 3 hours from UTC time.
Practical example:
Token launches at 10h UTC:
Brazil (UTC-3) = 7 AM
Mexico (UTC-6) = 4 AM
Portugal (UTC+0) = 10 AM
Golden tip: When you see an important date/time in crypto, convert it as soon as you read it. Don't leave it for later. A timezone confusion can cost you an opportunity that won't come back.
