I've come to realize it's usually the same near experience every newbie has. As newbies we tend to believe we can do it on our own and put our little knowledge to test. However, cryptos don't work that way. Our little knowledge can't carry us that far without first passing us through such an experience as you painted here. To succeed in cryptos, one needs the shoulders of giants to see far ahead. I passed through this same experience of having tokens with bloated princes on scan but couldn't sell them that price in reality. I think those tokens later became worthless. This is why researching before investing is important. Don't invest before researching. Doing so is like putting the cart before the horse.
