I really am new to this and haven't even started investing yet. I wasn't trying to plug a coin, I literally just looked at which coins had the biggest gain on Coin Market Cap and saw that it had huge swings.
If you new to cryptocurrency investment then pursuing or investing in coin because it was among the highest gain will make you lose your investment. Most of this altcoin are hype base project and it pump in price shouldn't be trust.
You said it yourself that the coin goes up and down in price anytime show it to be total risk investment.
