"I kinda don't know what to look for ect. OR even what my goald is." Only you can answer that to be honest. You go in to a bitcoin/cryptocurrency forum and you're going to ask us what your goal is? Quite weird, ain't it?
It depends on what you're trying to do. You can trade scam coins and still make money, as long as you don't hold those scam coins for too long.
Are you late to the party? No one knows for sure, as we really can't say for sure if the price will rise or crash tomorrow. That's why you always read the "don't invest more than you're willing to lose" quote here in the forums.
