I'm one of these newb traders. New to the whole digital currency thing really. Started out just buying a bitcoin to hold in a wallet for the future. Then I discovered Poloniex. I should have spent a lot more time researching and watching the exchange scene before playing in it. I saw that one could make some extra coins here and there and got excited. Just recently figured out what FOMO meant lol. So I bought some ethers on Coinbase and sent them to Polo. Made every newb mistake there is. Traded in and out ETC/BTC, ETH/BTC, and XMR/BTC pairs and lost 1.5 BTC in panic selling. At one point, I had 231 XMRs bought at around .00734. If I had only held on to them and not sold them in a panic, I would have been doing pretty good. Desperate to make up the difference (my kids kept asking me how I was doing, they had me buy them a couple of ethers), I tried to ride the NAV pump at 12200 but got in too late and stayed in too long trying to cover. I don't want to make the same mistake I did with XMR so I guess I will be holding my NAVs until better times. I refuse to make the same mistake a 5th time.

After realizing I would be holding onto these NAV coins for awhile, I then looked more into this coin. Yes, I know I should have looked into it before trading in. From the sounds of all the info, it has a lot of promise, even more so than XMR. Hopefully development continues to move along and progress soon.
