You said researching does matter? And what if he already conduct his own research from a reliable source? There is nothing wrong with that but what is wrong is to fully rely on our instincts because doing so is like playing a gambling. You can get it correct and sometimes not. We shouldn't invest based on what others think like for example if the op bought those coins, we think it will also a good idea to follow it, no that's wrong.

This was the same as following the influencers which are also being boycotted by the many though a coin with a stable value is better than the coins whose value is mostly crashing and not recovering anymore. Bat token is one of the popular tokens up to this date so maybe this has still a chance to recover but I don't know about gnt. Never hear such a coin before.
