im trying this trading thing but its not working out so good. every single time i buy something, it completely tanks.
If trading is not working for you that means you do not have the required knowledge yet. Instead of wasting your money in the market, you can go buy some trading course or probably get them free on YouTube. Take some time off the market and learn all the basic needed to become a successful trader. Just following some random trader online would not be the best approach to this problem of yours.
And if you see that you do not have interest in trading then choose investing. Just buy coins and hold then until when they reach your target holding years or price. Just as you bought Solana, hold unto it for the next bull run and you will be surprised what the coin will be trading at and that is because Solana is a very good project.
