Noobs as you call them always suffer not only in Crypto but everywhere.
People must research and do due diligence. There is a phrase that says "CAVEAT EMPTOR" that it is in Latin and means that the buyer must investigate before buying and it's his responsibility for the outcome of the trade.
Glad you are in and also that you are gonna research i hope you get great value. Take care.
You're right @neri0x, Research is important for such a investment particularly. However, the last 1.5 months in crypto world have been manipulative for crypto world because lots of shitcoins entered the game that can never succeed but more options make it difficult to research and choose the right one. I believe, the crypto industry is going through the process of purification and for this reason, it's good for all of us.
i agree, the market is cleaning the house before going all in again.
