For most newcomers, this story would be more useful if you could tell which coins you invested in. Now I do not quite understand what your problem was.
I will explain you where is the problem, with his words! Take a look:
I won't even narrate any history, I will just say it as it is.
I didn't waste much time to gain little knowledge about the market,
Next time waste a bit more time and gain more knowledge about the market before you invest your money.
It can be always green, its not profit all the time when ever you buy and what ever coin you buy. By this post I presume that op bought in december when prices were on top, later he just lost money in trying to recover cause entire market dropped, bad timing for him.
This should be a great example of what people should not do! And before everything spend more time on researching, it will worth it! If you don`t believe check what op wrote!
