'If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime"
This quote for me sums ups the best strategy for succeeding in cryptocurrency. Too many people trawl through forums, articles and youtube videos looking for what people say will be the next big coin. All you are doing here is accepting free metaphorical fish of people. A better strategy would be to learn about blockchain, distributed ledgers, distributed consensus and immutability. Then look into geopolitical events, then look into other economic markets outside of cryptocurrency for macro trends and then you will be able to make decisions on solid projects for yourself. This whole movement is about becoming independent so relying on other peoples opinions to form your own is a very dangerous game
I think that lesson applies to all aspects in life, not only in crypto. We need to be taught and also discover with ourselves the things in crytpo in order to apply our own strategies. It is not good to be dependent all the time. At first probably, we would considered ourselves as copy cats but in the long run, we should decide and execute on our own strategy which we think would give us gains.
