Easier said than done. It takes more than chosing a coin or token to put your money and wait for it to grow. Its noy like that. You need to check price history and development. Check also the people behind the project if there are really a group of people behind it. Next is if the project is really feasible or if its a good project.
Definitely agree with easier than done. If you are already there trading and then you are watching the price move up or down, your emotions will be in play and if you are a newbie in trading and you don't have a trading plan then you will just be rekt then. You need experience to trade with confidence and you can only do it if you know when you should buy or sell or in short, has a trading plan.
Pretty easy yet more harmful to the newbie specially those who are ignorant from the volatility of bitcoin. Trading is more profitable and easy if you have knowledge about it plus you have enough capital to sustain your investment. I like investing in bitcoin but I want to do it when bull run will start. Buy in bear season and buy lambo in bull run.
Knowledge is the key to be profitable along with the control of emotions. Maybe you can average down as well so that you can protect yourself from getting massive loss when the price doesn't go your way. Some would say that it's already the start of a bull run and you would be investing and I heard it a few days ago but now, people are frustrated again seeing the price.
