Doing research is always good. I don't just buy everything.
I always believed in Reddcoin, but when Steem/Steemit came I thought it was done for Reddcoin. I followed their information channels, mostly on Twitter. Being informed is important, but gives no guarantees at all.
Sold RDD for a small profit, bought BTS and DGB instead. They made awesome moves. So no complaints here :-)
Many thanks for your donation btw :-)
