i couldn't agree more.
and the biggest problem is that all those other people on the internet (Youtube, Twitter, Telegram,...) that are giving advice on what to buy don't know what they are talking about themselves! they are always posting about the coins they want to get pumped. so metaphorically speaking they are giving you a rotten fish instead.
That is so true. By getting the low hanging fruit off social media you are more likely to be getting information that is rotten which compounds the danger to new investors.
