The current market is falling you better invest in BTC and ETH. I see that the coin prices very cheap if you invest you can benefit in the future. BTC and ETH is a very well established coin. You have to be patient until the market recovered.
I think it's better for a novice investor to wait until this period ends and he must keep own money in dollars until the market goes into a growth phase. Too high a probability that a newbie will panic and lose money.
