As a buyer i send a lot of time sifting through a bunch of different medium (forums,websites,discord,telegram,whitepapers,social media) looking at my next buy.Im curious on how much time others spend on research?
I almost do not waste time before buying. And I invest only for a long time. In bitcoin and in cryptocurrencies from the top 20 by capitalization. I am sure that the price of all these coins will grow in the long term. All this allows me not to spend much time analyzing the market.
I dont think the time is wasted, better waste time than your money. Any crypto in the top 20 could be loosing popularity quickly. 6 months ago Dash was on 4th place I believe, it has declined very quicky and other similiar coins like Verge gained much more polulsrity.
