You have to decide how are you going to approach the whole crypto investment thing.
- Are you going to trade regularly? Daily? Do you have any skills in trading? If you don't you'll get rekt. Learn some things before you start trading. TA, FA, indicators... so much good and free stuff all around the web. But you'll still get rekt even after that, it just takes time to do things right.
- Are you going to hold? Don't be dumb, just holding through market cycles gets people rekt as well. Try to spot at least the major market cycles, sell near the top, buy again a few months later. Repeat.
- How much do you want to earn? Are you happy with 10%? Go with steady coins, huge market cap, they don't oscillate as much as some others. Go bitcoin, go ethereum if you think it's in bull market. Wait if you think we're still in a bear market.
- You didn't invest to earn 10%? You want 10x. Or 100x. Go with some small caps no one have heard of. They aren't even on coinmarketcap yet. It's much more risky though so be ready to lose all. Search this forum, everything's in here.
Get some of these things clear first and you'll do much better. But still probably get rekt
Don't give up. Stay in crypto. The next market cycle, you'll get rekt again. Don't give up. The next cycle, you'll figure it out. The next one, it might work out smoothly
Invest time in skills. Get free coins on airdrops if that's of any meaning to you financially. And you'll be good. Cheers!
