If you want to be successful in the cryptocurrency space then you will need to have the knowledge of how it works. At least try to know a little for a start in order to be able to buy and hold. Trading requires a lot of learning but since it is doable, making it won't be an issue.
I am agree that when we decide to invest on crypto we should understand about crypto in general. Some investor prefer hodl their coin because believe its long term project and some peoples speculate market movement by trade
The best and safest investment is to divide into various types of coins, I am always confident and optimistic that the future of crypto will continue to improve so that the crypto invest will make us successful, in addition to dividing into many coins of course be patient is the best strategy when the market is dropping.
I'd be careful about that though because some coins can be scams. They're not so easy to understand these days. Lots of coins have been inflated artificially on various pump & dump schemes that are just so the owners can make a quick win off of poor suckers like you and me.
Bitcoin is safer, the safest actually. As far as I'm concerned, there's no coin that is stronger than it in terms of security. If you want to diversify, consider other investments outside of bitcoin as well. Some fiat is useful to have at times as well.
