I think that one should do quite a comprehensive study before investing as there are so many good projects and not so much money. My advice is that you should invest in coins that are listed on great exchanges, as they do quite a bit of research before signing a coin.
There's a lot of project being created every single day, all of it will promise you that their token is worth to buy, but for me? especially this bear market it is better to but top coins in the market such as bitcoin and eth. If you are new in crypto everything should be study first before investing, a proper knowledge can be a key for better future in trading.
where to invest, of course, have different assumptions, especially with sensitive bear market conditions. for today I prefer to invest in stable coins as an initial deposit base to choose the right coin. I think there is no need to rush into investing in crypto before you really understand it properly.
