For their own safety, I’ll say YES, they should try as much as possible to avoid investing or holding altcoins. This is because there are several of these altcoins that have flooded the crypto space, and majority of them are just pump and dump projects, promising high ROIs, and for beginners it can be very easy to fall for these kind of traps and end up getting rug pulled at the end of the day.
Newbies should always be careful in the market because they might never know what's coming their way if they don't brace up because the market will always go against all one's plans, and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it other than just sitting down here and ensuring we're able to come up with a strategy that will become more strategic for us. Cryptocurrency is not for the weak, we should be having our time out and making preparation for the projects to invest on.
Newbies have a very long way to go, and not having anything to do with altcoin will just safe the orders of the day, I know it's too soon but what more can we do?we should know by now that many of these altcoins are driven by hype in the market and not even price actions and utility, an inexperienced investor or trader will fall victim and chop losses.
