familiarity with cryptocurrencies, specifically trading Given that I prefer investing over trading, I'm still relatively unskilled. I don't trade much, so I don't have a specific approach, but of course I am aware of the proper procedure. Although I don't like trading right now, I never know whether I'll do it again. I'll ensure that I've learned a lot before I get started.
So if you prefer investing over trading, why you must familiarize yourself more with trading when both acts are different? Trading is not simple and you can only waste your time if you won't engage on it after you master it. It is okay to be unskilled in investing because you will mostly do nothing here right after you buy the coins you think will have a great future. Picking coins isn't that hard as well because there are guides on different websites if what coins are best depending on our preference if we want either short or long-term.
@OP, no you did not enter on a wrong time but it was actually a perfect timing because last year was the start of the bear market but in fairness you acted mature enough as a newbie in cryptos. Just continue what you are planning and you will survive this bear with a profit in your hands.
