Everyone makes the same percentage if they buy and sell at the same time, no?

I find value in your post but can't understand it. It because of my lack of knowledge. Can you please describe a little?

It's as simple as I wrote it

It feels more real if you have 1 whole coin instead of 0.02 or whatever amount you have - but it makes no difference really, you still get the same percentage gains

Maybe try on this thread?

Do you mean Ripple XRP?

Like others have said, in other threads too, don't invest more than you can afford to lose. Only invest in coins you think are going to go up, that generally means reading and researching.

I don't know that there are currencies for beginners as much as strategies for beginners - start small and read a lot.

When I first got any crypto I thought that too, it's an easy misconception to have!

Psychologically it can feel more reassuring to have whole coins, but really it makes no difference.

They're not all going down, are they? I've had some gains in the last few hours too?

It is easy to regret once the pump happens. But you don't know before. I'm quite new to crypto, but I think I will always try to HODL part of coins that take off, even if it is only half of what I started with…

Less secure than 24 word recovery phrases.

Each additional word makes the maths above stronger. The chances of getting a useful recovery phrase is already infinitesimal with 12 word phrases, it becomes even less likely with the addition of each word. Size does matter

Ouch, that's got to hurt!

Is there a way to report that to mods?

Ha! First thing I thought was this sounds like an intro to "wanna buy this computer off me?"

Perhaps I'm being cynical though, nice find at Christmas time if I'm wrong.

Hardware wallets (or the ones I have) come with a paper key too, so they're secure twice I suppose.

I guess all coins can go up or down, quickly.

It is very tempting to put a lot into coins that look to be doing really well, but by doing so you increase the risk too - I like having eggs in a few different baskets.
