Everything that involves money should be researched first before diving into it. I researched for a long time before I invested in Crypto, but I also lost money because I mostly watched Youtubers that just pump and dump. But I learned that lesson when I also tried to research
for a stock that I am trying to invest in. I did most of my research on Reddit, forums, and stayed out of youtube as much as possible. Because believe it or not, influencers on stocks are very different from crypto influencers.
