Two very important tips for beginners in trading:
1. Always look at the market capitalization and not the price of the coin. Many think that they should buy ripple as its price is relatively cheap to Ethereums.
2. Many traders cannot spend much time in this market. Crypto trading not just on a daily basis, but on an hourly basis. Its not everyone that can play this game. Nevertheless you need to consider the amount of time invested in the process
Two things you have just said are very useful for beginners. I'm a beginner so I do not have much trade experience. The special thing I keep in mind is that I always look at the market capitalization of a coin. Before investing in a coin, I always find out what the strategy is and how much potential there is. With new people like me, I always choose coin in the top 20 coinmarketcap to invest
