...Just always do your own research and trade what you can afford to lose in always bear that in your mind. ..
Conducting your own research is exactly what a beginner who has recently joined the crypto community will not be able to do on his own. For this reason, many newcomers ask about which coin to invest in, while not realizing that no one can give guaranteed advice in cryptocurrency.
Researching requires reading, a lot of reading... than analyzing and comparing all that... it's much easier to just ask! And many people rather choose the easier way... That easier way is like gambling, you will take the advice thinking that if it worked for others it will work for you as well, but things are not that simple!
People should read everything, all the good and bad things around, it's how anyone can learn from others, to try not to make some mistakes, how to do something properly, but in the end, calling a decision should be based on research from many sources, not just on "someone said it's good"!
