Investing in crypto is the safest deal in the modern world, this investing is your chance to make something useful in your life and crypto is very suitable one.
It might not even be the safest deal, but it is a worthy risky deal considering that with the way things are going and with nothing halting its development, this is the future of the way we spend, transact and even invest in companies which would make the token market be more like a future stock market.
However, what is important as the Op mentioned, is to try as much as possible to be well equipped with great deal of knowledge to know the reason why you are investing in the first place. A lot of people invest solely because of the profit, and that is one thing that has increased the speculative nature of the market thus far.
