Recently there have been several news about Etherum falling or bitcoin dumping or more still an altcoin dying
The truth is newbies are been deceived to sell cheap or buy expensive
Newbies need to work and trust their research power and not be intimidated by any news
Dont relay your own decision on the perception of others, because its better to make your own story than relaying in someone here in the forum, as what you mentioned they need to trust themselves than other.
We must remember, we are not in the future so, we cant tell anythings what will happen in the coming days or years, just be wise.
