Seek for more crypto knowledge before investing in new projects, it's not always that easy to choose, as a newbie it's better to stick with old top altcoins on coinmarketcap, why?

Newbies are safer with top altcoins until they start learning how to choose wisely, do better diggings on new project to avoid scams
Cov-19 have been used to scam many newbies and even Corona virus coins are built too which have no real use cases
Play safe and be willing to learn

So it's better to choose top altcoins for investment because top altcoins have security and avoid lossing asset. because it's better to play it safe by choosing the top altcoins on coinmarketcap.
