Let's recap the lesson from the recent bearish run, before u invest in any cryptocurrency.
1. make sure u do an intensive research,
2. never stop believing in urself and when things go wrong, u will learn a big lesson and be happy u did your best than following a footstep u know nothing about,
Good luck
I think so too, when it comes to investing the best way to prevent yourself from getting blindsided by the coins is to make sure that you are always researching into whatever coins that you want to invest in, this will go a long way to tell you the kind of project you are putting your money in and what to expect from the coin in the long run
