Since you are new I would suggest you to learn first. Learn how the market works. Learn about the coins. Do researches on the charts. Get to know more about the coins you will be investing on. Use your own instinct and try to figure out how the coin is going to be different from others. And always keep this in mind - invest what you can afford to lose.
it is the truth,people are starting with thousands of dollars and after this they are surprised why they lose their funds...First of all my advice is to understand crypto market psychology.take into account that there are 'traders' who are interested primarily in their own well-being and therefore there are a lot of speculative behaviours from them and they get a lot of money from other's selfish actions.
In order to achieve your financial goals,start with a few dollars and understand how every detail works in market...
