If you have, at any point, the opportunity to cover your initial investment and still have enough crypto to play around with: don't hesitate and do it. It will give you peace of mind and it will allow you to trade with a lot less emotion and make better choices.
That what I need to start doing. In the beginning, I will trade and wait to see how high it will go without taking out my initial investment and then it come crashing right down. That should be one the first thing to do. That could have saved me plenty of time.
