I spend hours, days, weeks, and even months, researching a coin and platform or project before investing, just makes sense to know what you getting into, with regards to white papers, people involved, use case, ethos, road maps, current market share, all of those play a huge role in the success or demise of a coin.
So I do enough research and support projects I believe in. That way you don't jump ship for no reason and you also know when to throw in the towel.
stay blessed, long live crypto :-)
Good for you. I do the same. I also recommend that you spend some time to understand the big picture too.
