I also had something similar to that of yours about 5 years ago when I knew nothing about all these newly introduced coins, it cost me some certain amount of loss at that time which made me to realise that nothing beats investing wisely on Bitcoin at the right and appropriate time. Apart from Ethereum, which is still of much valuable and worthy to invest on, I dont really advise people to invest on every other new or strange coins which are not reliable to crash all your investments and capital on. At times, we get carried away with the high-aimed profit we really want to hit when we invest on coins rather than exiting the market once we achieve some amount of reasonable profits, thereby causing the market to retest back and causing a huge amount of loss. Markets can be so unpredictable at times and when this happens, we get disappointed about the situation of the amount of loss caused.
