I hear allot of guys saying not to invest and to study more.. I feel like I have been reading up on allot and taking everyone's pointers and trying to run with the ones i know make logic sense. I feel that just not investing and sitting studying on the side lines wont really help me that much.. I find you learn more or at least care more when you have some sort of investment in it.. maybe its just me.. now I'm not saying I'm dumping a ton of money in more just dabbling until I get enough information and know how to give myself a better chance of picking a real winner.

That Seems like sound advice to me.. Right now I'm in the Airdrop for PRIV Coin, but other then that I haven't really invested in anything.. Its allot to read through and even when I Find a coin that seems like it may be worth while, I google it and find mixed reviews all the time.

This is going to be a dumb question I'm Sure but, If a coin is on an exchange its out of the ico stage is it not?

I guess my interest is in projects that are just coming onto the exchange.. I like the idea of getting in on ground lvl and watching it slowly grow and hope for the best.. I could just invest in bitcoin or Eth The major guys but then its not really all that fun.. It may go up it may go down but unless you have a huge amount to invest your return wont be great unless for some reason the price just goes insane, where as a coin that just comes on that you see potential in you invest a small amount and if it happens to go even a small amount because you were able to buy so many coins your able to make a little something off of it..depending on how long your willing to hold on to it that is... so that's my thinking and kinda what I was wanting to do... bad idea?

Cool Thanks

So is a lower volume of coins better then a higher volume?

Thanks Guys, Anyone Every get any Legit leads on good coins from Guys in here? Or is it mostly people try to pump a bad coin? Also Would most people say just to put money into the big guys Like btc,ltc,Eth and forget about the small guys? I just Feel like although your chances of hitting something good is extremely low with altcoins at least there is a small chance.

Awesome Guy's I still cant get over all the support and actual good information you all are providing. I am getting involved with airdrops for coins I feel this is a good way to help get me in there and learn some things without really risking loosing much. It really blows me away how there are some many things to learn.. staking,mining, and so on. Its defiantly not something someone can learn in a few short days lol well learn and be successful. 

Also I have been googling and been watching as many videos on crypto as I can but in all honesty everything I seem to come across dives far to deep into the topic and I tend to get lost lol. My brother has been trading and in the crypto world for some time but his time is limited. He Kindly gave me some coins and told me to start trading and messing around but Id like to get as much information as I can before throwing money around So i figured asking the guys and girls that are actually doing it would be a good idea.. thanks again everyone

Wow, Thank you all for your suggestions and input I didn't expect to get so many people trying to lend a helping hand I really appreciate it. When I'm looking at the Market cap this may wound really silly but What exactly should I be Looking for.. What I mean is, should it have a really big cap really small?

Hello Everyone, I'm very new to Altcoins, Cryptocurrencies In General. I'm Looking for someone's advice that has been around for a while to kind of give me some tips or pointers on how to spot legit coin's, what to look for before investing. Really just any guidance on a basic level would be greatly appreciated.
