If the beginner investor does not have the intention of holding his currencies in the long term and learning patience, then investing in crypto will be inappropriate.
You must not hold crypto or shitcoins for long time since everytime the price will always decrease especially in bear market, most of shitcoins can't survive and will become dead coin. If you hold Bitcoin for long time, of course it's the best decision since Bitcoin already proving to everyone if it's really good for long term investment.
Although this thread is posted on Trading discussion, trading Bitcoin isn't easy like we see on many videos. It's really need a lot experience and skills if you want to make profit.
