Ok ok, lets talk trading, day by trading is very stressful and not as profitable as long term, you must spend way too much time watching coins go up and down and fretting every time a coin drops a few percent. First off if you are investing in the long term you need to find the right coin. Now there is no point in buying a coin that is already exploding in value, you want to buy the coin before it blows up (sounds obvious but you would be surprised how many people make this mistake) How to find that coin? first do your research, this is the most important part of trading. Be careful, look for the coin that you think will have long term value, one with a strong experienced team behind it and a good road map for the future.
Buying a small amount of a few coins limits your chances of loosing and increases the chance of hitting one that will skyrocket in the future. Take your time when trying to decide, if you rush into a coin without knowing what it is about you increase the chances of loosing. Keep checking the news on altcoin, stay up to date and listen to the new coins coming out or even old ones that are starting to grab peoples attention because there is probably a reason for the buzz about the coin.
