My classmates asked that question and the professor kept on talking about the probability of getting scammed but he's really against the whole crypto-currency movement so his opinion is biased.
So...here I am, asking for guidance...
For trading, times like this are not really good, too many FUDs are made for the benefit of individuals, to scam themselves, I think that's how we think about it, actually crypto is still quite confusing, so you should be DYOR when you start and try to filter out what other people say
